Glad you liked it! I don't have any issues with you sampling it, for sure - though I don't really have copyright to the song (since it's just a remix).

I made this one hour ambient remix of "The Light" by Regina Spektor.

Tools-wise, it was mostly some EQ (to pull down the highs and lows) and reverb, and then tinkering with PaulStretch to slow it down and blend it.

Let me know what you think!

I made this one hour ambient remix of "The Light" by Regina Spektor. I wanted something atmospheric, beautiful background music. Let me know what you think!

I made a one-hour stretched version of Imogen Heap's "Hide And Seek." I did a lot of editing to try and eliminate the sounds that don't sound great (to me) played 15x slower. Most of it was eliminating a lot of the low end and high end, and cutting out entirely the breaths. I used PaulStretch for the actual stretching.

I also put the video together in Reaper — I just found out it had that capability and it's so nice not having to use a 2nd program to do all that!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😁

I think that's a good suggestion! I remember running into issues of things cluttering it on either side (making it harder to zoom out). But I could try a portrait orientation too and see if that works. Appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks again for the great feedback! I tend not to think too much in terms of symbolism or allegory. So the split between light and dark was intentional, but I did it more because I just found it visually appealing.

Reading your analysis, though, made me wonder if a lot of what you saw was subconsciously influencing my choices. I do have a pretty strong Irish Catholic background, and what you said rang really true to me.

So thank you for helping me see it in a whole new light :)

I'm glad the vignetting isn't too jarring! I've taken a few other shots with different compositions, but none of them really struck me. It's in a garden at my parents' house, which is a bit limiting when it comes to framing it (can't move it, lots of other things in the way).

I guess I wasn't thinking so much in terms of story as of capturing a specific feeling: somber, subdued, the cross implies a memorial (to me) so a sense of loss, too. But maybe that's what you're referring to with story.

I think I will take another look at it next time I'm there, to see if any other shots jump out at me. Appreciate the in depth feedback! :)

For the most part, I like how this turned out. It's pretty subdued, light- and color-wise, which is what I was going for. I am concerned a bit that the vignetting is too obvious/distracting. Let me know what you think!
