Rain

The storm that almost ruined Chuck's birthday, the same one featured in Barrett Chase's video, made it's way over to Grand Rapids this past weekend. It made for some nice footage.

  • That was EXCELLENT man!! One of the best I've seen yet.

    What kind of camera are you using? It looked like you could reach in there and touch that leaf.

    Kudo's to you, Josh! You'd make MTV proud.

  • I love the plastic bottle. Did you get any hail?

  • You could have just had the bottle shot on its own and it would have said all it needed to say.

    About rain, I mean.

  • Very cool video.

    I dug the scene where the water is cascading from roof slope to roof slope. Something calming about watching running water.

  • Beautiful video and excellent music choice! My favorite was also the leaf. We had effects from the storm here in NC as well.

  • wow. that was awesome. i love Dar Williams and it was the perfect song for this video. I am so jealous of your video-making skills. :)

  • Funny seeing you take video of rain, knowing you are in Grand Rapids, I took video of that same storm when it past through Chicago just before hitting you... but I haven't blogged about it, just a couple guys trying to water blast the bricks of a building when they were getting blasted by that storm. I may stick it up at some point. Great job!

  • I hope you can translate this messege cause I can't say this in other language that is not mine.....

    este es el mejor video "amateur" que he visto en mi vida... el balance grafico en cada una de las tomas es envidiable..la locacion es perfecta, el sonido del agua al caer y la musica de background no podrian encajar mejor.. la toma de la hoja es impresionante, un zoom out solo a que la punta de la hoja toque el borde de la pantalla y quedaria perfecta
    absolutamente espectacular amigo...

  • cool video, two very enthusiastic thumbs up..:)

  • Seeing that you've already 20 comments saying pretty much the same thing I was going to say...oh hell...it was really good, I loved it, especially the music choice. I miss heavy torrents, Australia's been in a drought for most of the 4 years I've been here. Ick, that's all I have to say about it.

  • ya - i'm with everyone else. i felt like i was there looking out the window. nice.

  • This was really pretty. :o)

  • holy moly! it takes me a while to dig around and find gems and eureka! this one is gorgeous. so many awesome shots it's not even funny. i particularly like the one with the raindrops that look rectangular and long. bravo!

  • p.s. can i request a remix with no background music and crossfaded audio on the cuts? i really like the background music, don't get me wrong, it's very beautiful and emotional, but i would love to see this with just the sounds of the rain (and crosspost it to http://vlogme05.blospot.com!! )
