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.


Great work, Matt!
i miss you when you’re gone from the blogworld for so long!
video looked amazing yesterday. you always keep us in awe! thanks for the great work.
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.
AMAZING video as always Matt!!!
I wrote this on my blog but I’ll say it again here. I don’t call it “magic hour”, I call it Matt magic.
You one talented dude.
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!
