~THE STORY BEHIND THE VIDEO~

This January for my vacation, I headed up to Sioux Lookout for about a week to visit my folks. Its about a 5 hour drive north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. I was so on the fence about making the trek, as the wintery roads gives me quite a bit of travel anxiety. Anyone else struggle with this? I feel like moving to the West Coast has made it worse, excluding this year of course. We had plenty of snow.

I was super happy I decided to go. Its always amazing being in the house I grew up in, visiting family and friends, remembering a pace of life, good for the soul. The weather was unreal the entire time I was there. Sunny days, gorgeous sunsets, and even some fog, which I didn’t mind at all.

Its been a while since I’ve felt motivated to film anything, but I told myself after turning 30 this year, that I’ve done enough thinking and now its time to actually “do something”about all this time I’ve had to “THINK”.

I’ve decided that a huge problem for me in getting started, is trying to create the perfect start and getting caught up in the details a bit too much. Newsflash- there is no perfect start. Just start and we’ll figure it out along the way.

~THE OSMO MOBILE~

Josh was given an Osmo Mobile for Christmas, that he let me borrow. The Osmo is a stabilizer to make your footage smooth. This device is perfect for someone like me that currently only has an iphone7 to film with and was looking for a way to amp up my shots.

I was super happy with the results I got from taking this baby out snowshoeing. It was pretty easy to learn the basics, but I still need quite a bit more practice.

~BACK INTO EDITING~ 

Its been an interesting journey getting back into editing. This video took me a lot longer than I imagined it would. Every time I would reopen Adobe Premiere I was running into set backs. From not having enough space on my computer to transport the footage into Adobe to trying to remember how to fade out music and footage again. I’m lucky to have a bf who is on 24/7 tech support. I will say its amazing having a significant other who can help, however it can be a bit of a crutch. He asked me the other day “have you ever thought about googling some of these questions”, (in a nice way of course), haha okay yeah good point Josh. Lots to learn still.

Hope you enjoy le Video 🙂

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Much Love,
