What a ride…

On the way down to Big Bend back in March Wyman and I were listening to the Flower Power cd he had just received. We were jamming out to old hippy songs when Going Up the Country by Canned Heat started playing.  Listening closely to the lyrics, we discovered the perfect theme song for the Junction photo class he has taught the past 12 years.  Wyman and I decided we should make a music video.

Soon it was May and we were down at Independence Creek when we began filming.  The spring-fed pond was the ideal setting for the video.  Between 13 photographers we had everything we could possibly need to the task and plenty of people on hand to be cast and crew.

Checking focus and composition.

As Andrew and I filmed Wyman was taking stills of the group having a great time.

The first plunge.

We wrapped up shooting at Fort McKavitt with a final shot of Trevor, Keisha, and Cayla letting loose at dusk.

And here is the product of everyone’s effort. This was my first go with the new Final Cut X. Hope you all enjoy it.  I recommend clicking on the video and watching it in HD.
