Feels like Narnia! - Journey Into The Ancient Forest - 300th Video Upload

The UK is in the grip of what feels like a mini Ice Age. After going stir-crazy after 7 days couped up inside the house, I had to get out before I went mad. I ended up in what felt like Narnia!


Thanks to Paul (FenderGibsonWashburn) for pointing out this is my 300th video upload :o)

I used Adobe After Effects and XS Pro to do the colour grading.

First music track from footagefirm.com using their ' Mystery & Supernatural Royalty Free Stock Music CD '

I love the video effects you used in this video...starting out with a panoramic screen then shifting to a full screen. The Narnia type of music was great in the beginning. Rick, what type of back up microphone and sound recorder did you use for your audio for just in case your camera tape did not work. Did you actually have to use your back up sound source? Whatever sound source you did use....it is high quality.

@johnny102marvin Cheers John. I used a Zoom H1 as a recording device with a small lapel mic plugged into it and hidden in my scarf. Both the camera sound and the lapel mic sound turned out OK, but the lapel mic sound was the best, so I opted to use that.

Very nice rick, my mum thought that I was watching Narnia!

@radge6 LOL! Awesome - so there might be some hope for me as a filmmaker after all!
