Rest and Relax with the 10 Gallon Aquarium

[JimFox]

I spent a bit of time taking video of the 10 gallon aquarium with my Nikon D850 in 4k.

Since my idea is for a relaxing and peaceful video I put this together with about 20 second long clips. My thinking is that if I change to a new clip too often then it won't seem as relaxing since visually the viewer is having a new scene pop into view too often? Not sure if that's true or not, but that's my thinking behind how long each clip for this is. Also I used a Cross Fade which is the same as the Cross Dissolve that @Jim Dockery had suggested instead of using Zoom In/Out Transistions for this one to see how I liked the feel of the Fade/Dissolves.

This was assembled in Movavi. The processing of the video clips was done in both Photoshop CC2020 and Adobe Premiere Elements 2021.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Good one Jim. I like the wider angle better than the closeup because of better DOF. The transitions seem to have a white out just at the end of the transition. Very relaxing, you have a lot of fish.

Thanks Ben. I think I messed up with some of the transitions.

DOF is a thing, but I personally want closeups. It's cool to see the fish close up, at least I think so. As long as the fish in front are in focus, to me it's fine that what's behind it is out of focus, like in any photo.

nice, I also like the wider view.
