Thank you Cams! I hope your day is going great brother. I agree on color grading and I find it so difficult to find that "look" that I'm going for and when I find it....even harder to replicate in the next video haha. As to cuts to music, for some time now, I've often been a guy that finds a piece of music I like and create the video around that music. Just seems to work better for me many times. That wasn't the case with this video, but on many of what I consider to be my better pieces of work, the music is already picked out, and sometimes playing in my head while I'm shooting footage.
I'd love to see more about your local area. As you say, it's always more interesting to others.
