italy // sunflowers and yawning dogs
In the midst of editing our queue of weddings, I often find myself taking breaks and doing a variety of things for inspiration’s sake.
I pop DVD’s in and watch favorite movie scenes, listen to music, go for a walk, or rewatch the last 10 minutes of the LOST series finale. Just recently, I’ve taken to drawing inspiration from editing little personal vignettes.
That’s right. I take a break from editing by editing.
I’ve been sitting on this one since I got back from Italy. Putting it together, however, has definitely proven to open up that channel of creativity.
Nothing can do justice to the breathtaking beauty of Italy–its people, sights, sounds, sunflowers, and yawning dogs–but I hope you somehow and in some way, end up inspired.
Cheers,
Chris
You capture life in such an amazing way Chris. It’s like the things you SHOULD stop and look at is what you show. Amazing job as usual bro
As always, you’re love is appreciated bro!
Nice! I like the theme of your yawning dogs- great shots & pans! inspiring indeed!
Thanks Kenny! I knew you would like the edit seeing as how you’ve been there!
That was very cool. I didn’t realize that Italy has so many yawing dogs. :-)
What are you shooting with? The picture is amazingly clear.
Thanks Chris!
Italy is super dog friendly. You can see people bring dogs with them to restaurants :)
Shot this with the Canon 7D and the Canon 5D mk II with a variety of lenses. The 35 prime being my favorite.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Great piece. Felt like a video montage intro to a feature film. Fun piece.
you nasty bro.
Totally blew me away. The colors, the composition, and the vision was just awesome. Really puts me at peace. You are sick! lol
Sick as in awesome :)
According to Doug, I am nasty and according to you, I am sick. What are people going to think when they visit this blog?!? LOL.
Thanks for the props bro. I shot a ton of footage for a variety of different edits and this one was definitely near and dear to me. One of my favorite cuts was from the little boy splashing water at the girl, to the cut of the couple on the motorcycle in the alleyway. A boy + girl kinda thing :D
brilliant brilliant !!
poetic video, tight and economical, sort of reminds me of a sonnet :D :D
Chris that video was awesome. Can’t wait to see what you do with the rest. Love that music too.
Thanks Kenny! And a big thank you for arranging that tour for us. Going to Italy was even better the second time around.
Thanks for being flexible with lenses and the 5D on the trip too :)

Thanks Cassie! Oli says I am “King of the Mundane”. LOL. I guess this video is right up my alley!
You need to go to Europe. Oli’s got the travel bug!

Thanks for the support Sunz! Cheers to yawning dogs!
