snow landscape
snow landscape from w.pasman on Vimeo.
Some very nice shots cycling through a snow landscape. I particularly like the second shot where I cycle under overhanging small trees with their branches covered with snow.
I highly recommend downloading the quicktime higher quality version (lower right on this page). Vimeo adds some very bad artefacts to the video
I noticed quite some compression artefacts that are not in the original. Unfortunately even going to 4.5Mbit/s did not solve that. This video seems to overpower H264 compression ...
The LandscapeHD 'Producer' Project
Hello all
I am the Creative Director for LandscapeHD a TV channel with a difference that has been broadcasting in Europe for more than 20 years. We have recently developed a new creative project that aims to act as an outlet for talented film makers to get there work onto our HD television channel and into viewers homes through cable, satellite and terrestrial television systems.
We are a music television channel that broadcast world, instrumental and classical music videos. These are not music videos in the traditional sense (featuring the musician) but are more like short films combining HD imagery of the world we live in set to music taken from our extensive rights cleared library of classical and contemporary instrumental music.
What we are looking for are talented film-makers with a desire to get there work onto television. When your film/music video is broadcast you will earn royalties for the hard work you have put in and an on-screen credit to your website.
You will need an camera capable of shooting in HD (either progressive or interlaced) and edit equipment that can export uncompressed.
Please note: we are not YouTube we are a commercial television channel and therefore have strict broadcast standards in place so please only email once you have visited our website www.landscapehd.com and have read the Production pages and in particular The Producer Page.
If you think your work is suitable please email me a link to ben@landscapehd.com
