Sweet Lullaby – 'Pájaro'

For Nonna Jean

Every now and then, I encounter moments that invite a bit more careful attention and presence than simply pressing the shutter. This was one of those...

Nothing too complex – just a gorgeous woman in a stunning setting playing the sweetest lullaby for her beloved grandmother (who passed away just days after we filmed this.)

Hope you enjoy!

I kept the editing reasonably simple, yet ensured I'd properly recorded the audio using an H4N Zoom. I also had her run through it a few times to be sure I had enough material to splice out unwanted camera-shake (this was entirely hand-held) and add just a bit of dynamic movement to draw the viewer in.}
