3 Minute Video

For my three minute video I went back home to Ocean City, New Jersey and filmed the after math of sandy. Although it was 2 weeks later the island was still recovering from the recording breaking storm. I filmed on a Go Pro Hero 2 that allowed me to go under water and get footage. This video shows how even after a major storm, beauty and peace can be found at the shore. By combining footage of the natural landscape as well as the damages boardwalks, docks, and eroded beach you feel as if the beauty and serenity mask all the destruction that took place in that very spot two weeks earlier. The footage was edited in Final Cut Pro and mixed with separately recorded audio tracks. Due to the heavy wind the day of filming, original audio was unable to be used. Fortunately this was not an issue because by adding the sounds of waves, bells, wind, seagulls, and people I was able to create the type of day that I wanted to capture. Also below is a screen shot of part of my FCP timeline as I edited multiple layers of video and audio.
