k.i.s.s.

The geeks know what I’m talkin’ about here. I love reading about the new after effects or final cut techniques and love me some killer pluggins, don’t get me wrong… but sometimes it just can’t compete with a some solid content via wilson and a bit of yahwey lighting. When it looks this great you gotta just KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. A little Explosions in the Sky never hurt as well.

7 AM magic hour….

6 PM magic hour same day…

It always these unassuming pieces that reach out and decide to be incredible all on their own.

    Dang I saw the title and thought this was a post about who is a better singer for Kiss, Gene or Paul.

    Any way, the lighting was KILLER for the video. I know that kind of lighting has a short window so great job both of you capturing it!

    Nicely done! I have a similar compulsion to want to shoot everything I can on over-cast days. Who says God doesn’t bless video?

    That’s one thing I like about your videos – you make use of the surrounding environment and don’t over-process the video. When you have great lighting like you had you don’t need to add a lot of effects. And you combine that with just about anything by Album Leaf and you’ve got a great video.

    Nice work again Matt.

    Those videos really helped me to better connect with God. Thank you for sharing your talent.

    These videos are stunningly beautiful – technically, with the lighting, composition and framing. But also spiritually, with the message and presentation. Fantastic and captivating!
