Early morning is a secret favorite of mine. I love the quiet chill of dawn as everything uncurls from sleep. The soft rays of sun that the curtains diffuse into slanting lines brimming with gold. Listening to the hush and stillness of daybreak, poised to speak, may perhaps be my favorite. I woke up a little early today and took the chance to make a short film on our mornings. It's imperfect but it's my first film (and I daresay it won't be my last) so I love it. Enjoy, and happy friday! x

ReplyDeleteLove this Hannah, I so love this. The music you chose gave the whole video a calm and peaceful feeling. You captured the essence of mornings so well and I loved the in-focus and out-of-focus camera shots you used and the different angles as well. Your siblings are so cute. I wonder, were your sisters refusing to be videotaped in the morning? ;)

this is very sweet, i really like how hazy the whole film "feels" just as the mornings do :)
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful! so calm and relaxed. :) i've always wanted to get into videography, but i've never had a camera to do it. (maybe when I get the mkii? ;D)
ReplyDeletethis is really, really wonderful. I love your brothers. and your windows. and your yard. and you.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! the only thing that I could point was that it had a little bit of camera shake. Other than that, great short film
ReplyDeleteSo I'm just sat here crying and I'm not really sure why.
ReplyDeleteThat was so beautiful.
What programme do you use to make your films? I recorded some film on my camera back in January when I first got it, but never knew what programme to use.
How precious to get a glimpse into those quiet moments around your house first thing in the morning--
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented, friend. ::smiles::
