Video Portfolio - Textures





As I mentioned in my first blog post - one of the main things I want to do with this blog is highlight some of the work I have done previously.  Although every client will have their own requirements, I think it is natural human curiosity for potential clients to be interested in looking at some of the work a landscape architect has designed.

Obviously digital cameras and web pages make it a whole lot easier to show previous work in a way that is cost effective and accessible.  But what about online videos?  Nearly everyone is now viewing videos on You Tube and other online video sites.

Keen to see what is possible I've been tinkering with some software to put together a trial video, and I've linked it below.  I'm also hoping to do at least two more in the short term (one previous residential project and one commercial project).  Any feedback or suggestions from people in this area would really be appreciated.


 

Thank you for making me a part of your day! J

P.S. The wonderful music throughout the video is by the fantastic Australian band Icehouse and the song is called Man of Colours. As this was just a trial I have used one of my favourite songs to set it to, although I realise it would most likely have a copywrite over it. I intend to change the music to a royalty free song as soon as I can find one as awesome as this one…..

In the beginning ...




I wanted to begin my blog by acknowledging all the great people I have been lucky enough to work or study with.  My friends and family also deserve my thanks for their ongoing support and encouragement, particularly my two sons.  I know it hasn't been very easy living with a mum who combines fulltime work with studying, and I really appreciate their understanding - most of the time anyway! I am also fortunate enough to be in contact with some great people, and over the last few months I have got to meet even more!
There are a number of objectives for this blog. One is to highlight the projects I have worked on, plus future projects as they evolve and develop. I will also consider a different tree or plant each month, giving factual and practical information related to Perth growing conditions – particularly as we have such a unique climate. As most publications are written and produced on the east coast of Australia they are not always pertinent to Perth, with a lot of the trees and plants discussed not even being available for sale here. Hopefully some readers find the information I provide helpful.
Thank you for stopping by to visit the blog.  If you don't see what you are looking for, would like a particular plant discussed, or you have any questions, please contact me – I’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for making me a part of your day! J
