Holden Beach, NC In The Morning

August 8, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

Before I headed into the office this morning, I went down to Holden’s new waterfront pavilion to shoot some video. It was beautiful this morning and peaceful under the bridge.

I hope that those of you who cannot be at the coast will still feel a part of it with my videos. When the stress gets a little too much and you want to strangle the boss, don’t do it. Log on to the Brunswick Broker, relax and go to the beach, even if it’s online.

If I can help you with your search for property here in Brunswick County, just give me a call. I’ve recently added a very convenient property search form button at the top of the page. Check it out and let me help you find your little piece of paradise here at the coast. There has never been a better time to invest.

This is a video I shot as construction begins on the “Brunswick Islander” home in Brunswick Landing in Holden Beach, NC. The Islander is a 1344 sq. ft. beach home on pilings that will feature an elevator. Land has to be cleared, pilings must be set and framing begins. This is far and away the best new construction value available to you in Brunswick County, NC. This home is offered at $249,900.

 

On the technical side, I shot this high definition video with a Canon XH A1 and edited in Final Cut Express. This is my first video in which I have experimented with still photos using the Ken Burns effect with the motion feature in FCE. You can view this video in high definition by going to my Vimeo page

My Top Video Hosting Sites

I’m constantly on the lookout for new ways to shoot and host internet videos. Video is such a fun hobby of mine and I’m still learning. Video on the internet is certainly a field of constant change.picture-28.png I would imagine that if Walt Disney were still alive, even he would be amazed at how far technology has come. Could you imagine taking a video class and looking over and seeing Walt Disney sitting there? Well, neither can I, maybe that’s a stretch. Videographers are always willing to learn. What’s amazing to me also, is that these folks are also willing to share their knowledge. It’s sort of an online fraternity. I want to thank all of those out there that freely share their skills and knowledge on the web.

For those who are interested in the gear. I shoot with a Canon XH A1 High Definition Video Camera. I edit with Final Cut Express from Apple. I’m very new to Final Cut Express and I have a lot to learn. The problem is finding the time to sit down and learn the program. It will take time. I edit on a MacBookPro 17″.

 I use internet video hosting sites that are “free” to host my videos. Me and Free get along very well. One of my favorite video hosting site is Vimeo.picture-18.png The reason I like Vimeo is that this site will allow you to upload very large files of high-definition videos. Video files are very large and high definition files are even larger. It takes a lot of bandwidth to play these videos on the internet.

picture-20.pngI have recently found a new video hosting site that I like very much. If you enjoy watching or shooting video, may want to check this site out. It’s call Exposure Room. Exposureroom.com. I’ve uploaded a few videos to this site and the quality is outstanding. Membership is free. Remember what I said about free? It only took about 1 minute to set up my account. I was uploading a video in just a couple of minutes. You can check out my page on Exposure Room here. I love the fact that you can also upload your photos. I take a lot of high-def photos with my Canon XH A1 and this site allows viewers to view the photos in high definition. If you are into photography, you should put your photos on display on Exposure Room. A very cool feature is that you can embed your photos from ER to your own web site. See my example below of one of my photos embedded here on the Brunswick Broker. Click the photo to go to my photo page and click the large version. The quality is stunning.

There is a lot of talent on Exposure Room. I have enjoyed the work of Steven Dempsey for many months now. Steven is a very talented videographer/cinematographer. He specializes in nature videos and is well respected in the industry. You owe it to yourself to check out his videos. You can view Steven’s video page here. Below is a video from Steven Dempsey that I especially like. It’s called Snoqualmie. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to check out his page for more of his work. Click the link below his video to view it in a much larger high-definition format.

If you attempt to watch a video and get a window asking you to update your Adobe Flash Player, it’s ok and it’s safe. You need the updated player to view the videos.
