The Surf: A Short Film

in nature •  7 years ago  (edited)

My third short film has been produced and is ready for your viewing pleasure!


This one is for all of those hard working folks out there who would just love a minute to relax at the beach. Well...

Now you can have it!

And if one minute isn't enough, put the video on repeat and play it all day long!

Remember to adjust your viewing settings to 1080p for maximum viewing pleasure!



Film Description

One minute and six seconds of an Atlantic Ocean beach and surf. Dedicated to all of those crazy birds out there just looking for a dry place to take a rest...and look for some tasty treats in the sand.

Filmed in 1920 x 1080 (Full-HD) at 24 fps with a Canon XF-300.

so profound...

Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.

It is an existential film - it reminds me of that poignant classic, Blood on a Dog's Face.

It prompts deep questions as to why sand pipers hop with the wave rather than away. We'll probably never know the answer.

Another masterpiece, my friend.

We'll probably never know the answer.

We might know it sooner than you think!

I invite you to send my sea, mediterranean sea ... Much more mild and quiet

I would gladly trade!

Supposed I take for granted living 10 minutes from the beach, haven't been in sometime. Think I'll go see it live this weekend :-)

How was the trip?

I put "The Surf" on loop and it was as if I was in the film itself.

Are you sure that you weren't in the film?

r u spying on me?

Only on the MySQL blockchain. I do forensics, bro. I'm building things...

Like mountains of evidence of bad stuff.

Nice one, very relaxing to watch an ocean. Iwhen i saw a title, i thought i will see surfing bird on a stick

Yet another film of pure majesty, elevating our proverbial palates and restoring our faith in mankind.

I don't want to pee in the sugar bowl here, but I think you are missing something...Like, a surfer or two, some sun bathers, a couple seagulls. Do you guys have sea-lions? a beached shark would be good content... I will give you credit for the sound quality. That was actually impressive. I bet that mic is a good one. Anyhoo, I am off to troll some more.

Have a great day.

OMFG Most amazing video ever.....I cannot stop watching it. You are my hero. I like you for this inspiring moment.... Upvote for upvote?

How relaxing.....and a great mini meditation....focusing just on the sound of the waves....Now I want to pack my bags and head on down to my favorite place in Florida.

I'll check out your other videos later on. Thanks for this one today, I needed this moment. :)

There's nothing quite like the soothing sounds of the ocean!

Very relaxing to enjoy the sound of the sea, the sand and the surf. Greetings.

This is the kind of thing I like to listen to when having trouble to fall asleep. Great video.

One can look at it forever. The tide runs on this side, the wave runs up and whispers something... Relaxing. The last time I had insomnia. I should try to watch your video before going to sleep, it is soothing.

I love to go to the sea in the Netherlands, not so often as I used to do because we live in France part of the year. The sound in your film reminded me of the sound of the ' Noordzee'. It was a very familiar sound, a sound that reminded me of long sunny days at the beach, especially late in the afternoon when everybody had gone home and only I, a few other persons and the seagulls were there.

Man. I need to be here right now...

So peaceful and calm, love hearing the sound of the sea water. I would trade a week's work just to be on a beach enjoying the view.

Such profound. I lost and found myself in that 1 min and 18 seconds. Namaste, and Jesus loves you.

I actually love the sound of the sea. I am on a lake but we don't have the sound of surf, nor the great smell of the salt.
Now you need to get a metal detector coz I bet there is a bunch of jewelry there!!!

I love it, Atlantic Ocean is incredible from Spain, my land, to América.

lol - I was waiting till you come out there surfing but it's literally the surf haha
thanks for the laugh anyway

Oh...this wasn't a comedy though.

...


sad face

oh I was wondering what this is about
it's been a long time
sorry about that I wonder why I lol I don't remember anymore either
cheer up!

Edit : I get it now - you I was literally expectin you were surfin in the film - most probably ;)

Maybe for you that video does not mean too much, but for a surfer and sea lover like me, a person who has to live in Midlands (the closest beach is more than 3 hours far) means a lot. I can even smell the sea.

Relaxing sound and image.... Just makes me go to the beach!

Nice, I see you are evolving as a atmospheric filmmaker. Its cool to have the Atlantic ocean near where you live. Great location!
You actually inspire me a little bit to start making my own atmospheric videos. Thanks!

P.s.
I dont want to interfere your intellectual nor creative ideas, but maybe try doing a 60fps video next time? It could add a little bit of depth and the feeling of reality to the video. And another thing - it looks like its digitally zoomed in. Therefore, the image quality is going down. I read a little bit about your camera and it looks like its more likely an optical zoom, but anyway, I would suggest to avoid any zooms. It greatly improves the image quality, just by moving the camera closer instead.
Sorry for the long comment, its just you're the first filmmaker I stumble across here on steemit.

I took your advice. The results were not unexpectedly uncertain.

Calm.com anyone?
