Giving it a Go
October 6, 2008
I have been wanting to try my hand at "filmmaking" for, oh, a few years, and have let my lack of experience, knowledge, and editing skills prevent me from giving it a go. This past weekend I found myself with a free afternoon and plenty of footage I’ve collected over the past few years for, you know, that day that I hoped would someday arrive when I’d have the guts to dip my toe in the water. These are clips from a recent flight across the country, my recent show and a magical moment in Iguazu Falls, Argentina. The song is "Serpentine" by Kate Havenevik. The two lovelies in the film are Denise Andrade [photographer] and Stacie de la Rosa [subject]. Now that I’ve tried it, I’m totally obsessed, already hatching plans for my next few ventures.
wow – That was intoxicating.
Don’t stop there … fly …
your wings exist, baby!
you are a brilliant filmmaker… truly.
i can’t wait to see what the future holds for you…
love you,
xo
p.s. i will never be able to thank you enough for capturing these moments you did.
all if it makes me weepy…

That was beautiful! I’m so glad you gave it a go.
Your courage and your willingness to risk, to dip your toe fill me with inspiration. It makes me want to climb the ladder to the high dive and jump right in — baby the water is just fine!
This was just beautiful.
Oooh, the clouds and the butterflies were so precious. Lovely. What program did you edit with?
That was great! I look forward to more.

I come to your site because I feel like I am peeking into a hidden treasure of goodness, real friends, hope, sweetness, truth, zen and alot of fun and SO much more. I always feel welcome, like you are speaking just to me. I start reading your words but my mind always sees images. And with this video you took all your words and transformed them with music into what I always thought they would be!

Wowza! Your film is beautiful Christine! I can’t wait for the next one! I loved the different angles that were shot and I also loved seeing boho girl smiling behind the lens – such sweetness!
