Season of Solitude - Video Journal #1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Yep. I have now entered the realm of TH-cam. Hello.
I've been dreaming of storytelling through film work for YEARS, and this crazy year of the pandemic has uniquely granted me the time and motivation needed to collect these clips around home and start playing with them in Premiere Pro... and holy guacamole, video editing is a whole new learning curve, wow. After getting over the initial hurdle of simply STARTING (which surprisingly is easy when I actually sit down and watch video editing tutorials instead of pulling my hair out trying to teach myself, hehe), I gotta say I absolutely LOVED making this and I'm feeling super excited to be channeling my creativity into something fresh - I have so many ideas for future videos now! This first video ain't perfect, but the process of making it was so special to me as it gave me something to focus on and kept me feeling grateful throughout some difficult months this year. It feels so wonderful to be working with my ideas and love for nature in a new medium.
A special thank you to my community of backers on my Patreon page - when I started it a few months ago, it was with hopes of slowly gaining the little extra support I needed to be able to dedicate more time to creating videos along with my photos - and now it's finally starting to happen! I'm soooo happy pouring my heart into this, and each little bit of support means the world. Thank you!

I can't find words enough to describe how beautiful this was
Same here Jonna! Except my tears were that I wanted to be there so badly. I live in the country and it is beautiful here but there are no mountains..and mountains and their forests call to me so strongly. I wish I had the money to move. We are slowly fixing my house up and eventually I want to sell it and move to the mountains! They call to me...they are my home.
I want to go home : (
Ahhh Jonna! This means so much coming from you! Your videos are such an inspiration, from the moment I found them I instantly felt we shared a special kinship with our magical worlds on opposite sides of the globe, hehe. Thank you SOOO much for your sweet comment!! I can't wait to share more, it makes me so happy you're following along!
@@jjmarie3472 I so hope your dream of going home to the mountains comes true! They are so special, I wish I could share them with everyone
Same! Those ethereal visuals, the music.. thank you for taking us with you into your magical world Lizzy! Looking forward to seeing more of your creations here 🤍
so exquisitely beautiful captured! WOW! Dancing in the forests half the world away. We are all together -- finding, remembering in playful wonder. xx
This is soooo amazing. Beautiful. Thank you.
You teach me what is truly important.When I watch your videos, it reminds me what I really love.
I live in Japan and I’m still 14 but I wish strongly that I can live like you do😊 and just being able to be myself
Thank you!
beautiful
This was absolutely surreal Lizzy. I have been an admirer of your work for a while now.. Its quite a treat to be able to watch your videos now too... Love from India.

This was so magical and beautiful. You captured my heart
Superb!!!
Thank you!! 😊
I found your channel through Jonna Jinton, I’m watching your videos from the beginning. Your videos are magically beautiful and I love you storytelling. You transport me to a peaceful place in the moment I’m watching them. Thank you 💖✨
Your video is so powerful and healing... great job!.
wonderful 💚
Wonderful 👍❤️
Amazing. Thank you.
Thanks, Faith!
Just watched all your shorts….and now this. I expected good stuff, but gawd girl, this is enchanting ❤❤Technical skills are obvious, your editing is some kind of intuitive gift; but it is how each shot is so evocative in its own way, inspiring awe, wonder, joy whimsy, peace, fun, delight, curiosity, that just pulls me right in. And your natural ease and grace (and beauty) are, well, kind of magical. 06:30 in particular. Magnificent.
I know there is a lot of work in this, but it also takes a lot of courage and willingness to be vulnerable. The results are worth it. This will get 6 million views. Thank you ❤😍🥰
I had to watch again. 🙏💙
Awwwwh! So glad you like it Rob, thank you!
I can't find words enough to describe how beautiful this was!!!! This makes me so happy! Thank you so much!

very well done, Lizzy! Is this really your first video? unbelievable! love it!
Thanks, Hans! Well, I did used to make some pretty fun cheesy videos with my pets over 10 years ago, so must have picked up some editing practice from back then, hehe. Feels like learning it all over again now on different editing software!
Truely wonderfully on all aspects, thank you.
Looking forward to many more lovely videos!

Wow... This was so beautiful, inspiring and touching. Thank you for sharing a piece of your world through your photography and now videos. Nature is truly magical. I liked all you said and it reminded me of my connection with nature and music, Often creating in solitude, with solitude.
I hope you keep making more of those vlogs!! All the best.
Thank you, Claudie! Creating in solitude, with solitude always makes my heart sing. I'm so glad this resonates with you! 😊
Been a fan of your work for a very long time. Looking forward to some more of this cinematic b-roll, and of course your epic selfies. It's awesome that you live near such stunning alpine/woodland landscapes.
Wow this is amazing it looks like another world you are living in - absolutely amazing ❤️❤️

That was beautiful. The music and the images worked together to create such a peaceful mood. So glad you are doing this!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
THIS is amazing I cannot wait for more! I started following your work on Flickr in 2007 and although life events have made it where I had to put my photography aside many times your work always pops up when I need a reminder of why I love it so much.
Well done! I had to clear my eyes to avoid spelling errors. Moraine is my Holy Place. At 4AM its just me my Fuji and the spirits.
Looking very forward to your presentation Feb 6th.
Watching this feels so mesmerizing. I honestly felt like I've was living these moments. Took me back to my memories. Absolutely love your work!

Thanks, Curtis!! Good to be in your fellow TH-cam newbie company, hehe. Goodbye life hours, hello video editing 😂
@@ElizabethGaddPhotography You're not wrong, days are missing from my life after just two videos down ;) Can't wait to see where we are a year from now, perhaps we will see the sun again.
@@CurtisJonesPhotography Hahahaha! I can't wait either, gonna be an interesting journey! :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I’ve been following your work for a very long time, but this.. this is a whole new level, absolutely amazing! You are a brilliant artist. This is definately my favorite channel 🖤
Oh wow, thank you so much for these kind words! I'm soooo happy you enjoyed this! It was such a beautiful experience to make. ❤️
Absolutely w♡nderful .... whàt a 'start' !!
Ah, thanks Eric!! 😊❤️
Hi Elizabeth, I just found you on yt. Your videos and your photography are soooo extremly beautiful! I had a look at your homepage. Just awesome!
You inspire me. I am making fotos and videos in nature too. Now I´m even more longing for a better camera to improve my quality.
Do you have any suggestion for a camera which is good but not too expensive? Greetings from Norway 💚
Jonna Jinton is literally the only person I truly follow here on TH-cam. I have to admit that you managed to totally enchant me with your videos! 😍 What a BEAUTIFUL place you live in, you're so lucky! 🥰 I wish one day I'll be able to live in a place like that as well, it's a huge dream of mine and will happen sooner or late (I'm planning on moving to Norway). To live in the middle of such beauty, far away from busy cities and be able to slow down and admire these wonders is a wonderful gift. I also love they way you narrate, it's like if your soul was singing or something ☺️ Keep doing your thing, I really loved it and will stay tuned for wha'll come next! ❤️
Ahhh this is the sweetest comment, and an honour to be considered among the likes of Jonna Jinton, hehe! She is just amazing! Thank you, Ronja. 😊 I hope your dream comes true, Norway would be a dream to live in for sure ❤️
Love it 😍
What a lovely video. You can always tell when an artist starts making moving pictures because every shot is a mini painting. And you're lovely cello music reminds me of the music I wrote for my own videos! But I think you have much better scenery in lockdown than we did!
Ahh thank you, Robin! Truly appreciate your kind comment! Always loveeeee some good cello music!!
Okay, pretty darn good for a beginner video. You had me at "I have now entered the realm..." You entered more than TH-cam I think. Subscribed. 🌹💖
Hehehe! And what a realm this is! Thank you so much. ^_^
I just love they way you create this video ... Your voice .... Music .... Most important this nature .... Going to subscribe you because you deserve it .....
Ah, thank you so much! That means a lot 😊
I've been a fan of your photography on Instagram for a long time, and am very excited to see you conquer the video realm. This looked professional, I wouldn't think you were a "beginner" if I didn't know. Very beautifully done ❤ Keep creating! 🥰
Thank you Jessica!! That means a lot. ^_^ I can't wait to keep creating videos!!
That was amazing! And so psyched that you’re on TH-cam now! I gasped when I heard the first track in the video as it is the same one I used in my latest upload where I referenced you as one of my creative inspirations!!
Thank you so much!! I'm so excited to be on youtube! Also wow, how uncanny and cool is that?! I guess we share a taste in epic magical tracks, hehe! I'm SO honored to be included as one of your inspirations, wow! Thank you, that means so much. 😊
I'am sorry to say I hadn't heard of you before today. That is my loss .as your wonderful pictures are as though you and your camera traveled back in time to the 18 hundreds.
Ahhh, thank you Howard! I’m so glad you could find my work now. ☺️ I really appreciate your kind words, thank you!
oso polita
Wow, big fan of your work. Know all the locations in this video as I am local to the area of Maple Ridge.
