Make sure you watch it in HD!

 
The other I was sitting at home, I had just recovered from a couple of days of being sick, and decided to grab my camera and head to Central Park North, just a few blocks away from where I live.

I saw the beautiful snowy landscape, the iced pond, a little duck family, and a couple of pigeons..
Let’s make a little movie!

I spent some good three hours hanging out in the park and freezing my butt off.

It was filmed with a Nikon D3s, 50mm f/1.4 and 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses, Glidetrack HD slider.
Edited and graded in Premiere CS5, and After Effects.

 
Music by Prokofiev ‘Carnival of the animals’: Aquarium
and performed by Czechoslovak Radio Symphony Orchetra.
You can buy it on iTunes!

 
Hope you enjoy!

 

Drifting – The movie

Jason Tear

Hi everybody!

I’m thrilled to announce the first trailer of the movie Drifting, which will come out soon!
Drifting is a collaboration between singer/songwriter and composer Simona D, Jason Verga [Brando from the neck down (2004), The mooch (2008), Consequence, Ed, White Embers (theater), The Refuseniks Trial (theater)], and myself. Ballet dancer Michele Moreno, whom I photographed in a couple of occasions (see Ballerina, and this image gallery) is also part of the great cast!
Original music by Simona D and John Maida.

‘Drifting’ will take you into the creative life of four artists with different backgrounds and one common path that will bring them eventually together.

The sense of sadness and desperation caused by the struggle of expressing one’s talent will be fulfilled by a surprise event that will change the characters’ lives.

Fluttering in a world of imagination until the day inspiration will be transformed into reality.

Drifting is a story about life, art and dreams.



Here is the trailer of Drifting (make sure you watch it in HD!)

It's cold in New York!

>It's cold in New York!

Hi folks!

The other day I felt like going for a walk in Central Park. It was cold!
Most of the snow has already melted. This year I didn’t feel like getting up at 5 am to see the first snow.
I remember last year though, got up at 5 am, and knew I was going to find all of Central Park covered in snow. Freezing but beautiful!
I took that pano (about seven images stitched together in Photoshop) above that morning at around 6 am. It was worth getting up that early!
If you’d like to see the panorama of the snow fountain in a larger size click here.

Above is another image from last year, It was snowing, and snowing and this corner of Central Park looked just so wonderful with the glow of the lights of the Plaza Hotel and the other lights.
Winter wonderland in Manhattan..

The following image was taken two days ago when I entered Central Park from the West Side on 72nd Street. Every time I walk by there are people paying an homage to John Lennon.

I promise I’ll try to blog more often!

Thanks
