Two Snowstorm Videos: Sony fx30 and GoPro Hero 11

During the snowstorm, in 4K 120P:

Sony E 16-55 f2.8 lens. 4X slow-motion.

After the snowstorm, in 5K 60P:

Protune Flat, 10bit color, 180 Mbps, noise reduction off.

With the GoPro one can move with the camera without accessories. The fx30 allows shallow DOF shots and a variety of POV with the zoom lens.

Perfect choice of music in 'After the Snowstorm'. Is that from a music library?

Nice compositions throughout. The shot after the sidewalk snowblower - where we see a roof behind the bushes - could have been a reveal shot, where you start lower and slowly raise the camera to reveal the roof in the distance - at least, that's what they'd do in a horror movie. ha ha

Thank you. Good idea - I thought of a reveal shot, and some focus pulls, but I was too cold to do these steadily (everything handheld).

I think 'During' the snowstorm has the music (unless you are referring to snowblower engines!). The music is from a library of license free music all composed and programmed by one man. It is a big selection, and the music is categorized and described (tempo, mood, instrumentation) and all the pieces can be played before downloading. At incompetech.com.

Proper slush. The environment looks like New England. I used to live in Arlington, MA about 25 years ago. Once there was a snow storm and we got about 2 feets fresh snow overnight. I am from Finland so I am used to snow but not for that amount in a such short time.

This one was only 4.5 inches overnight. Connecticut.

I love the lazy, ethereal quality of the snow falling in slow motion...
