Several days ago, I filmed this video in the areas near the Pacific Coast in Northern California while being on my way back home, hence the title. After editing it for a while this is what I came up with. Of course music work started at least a week before that, approximately two weeks in length. I release only the piano solo part since it is in my opinion the strongest part. No doubt adding several more instruments help but requires even more work. I would like to get comments on the piano work from you. The same audio is also available from my Google blog, and the score for the music is going to be published over there as well fairly soon. Hope you like it. It is a slight change from the last four videos, but more or less in the spirit of my earlier videos. (Please make sure you choose a high quality version. OK, but where did the high-quality button go?)

This video was filmed at a Lanikai Beach in Kailua, HI. A day or two after shooting the first video at the same beach, I decided to go back and film another canoe practice session. Nothing here is scripted, just plenty of fun, as it happened. No color correction, all audio as recorded at that beach. As always, hope you enjoy watching it.

This next Hawaii video was filmed at Sandy Beach on South Oahu. The theme is very simple; an unspoiled sunny beach, a warm sand, and a salty water mist. Plenty of fun to be had. With a good sunscreen you can stay there for a while, otherwise run for your A/C car. In any case, be prepared for a long shower afterwards to remove all that pesky sand from all those hidden places. Did not add any background music this time, and left all audio as it was captured. Some color tweaking. As always, hope you like it. (Please make sure you choose a high quality version.)

This video comes from Lanikai Beach in Kailua, HI. After swimming for a while, and then doing nothing also for a while, I decided to film an outrigger canoe practice session that was just happening in front of my eyes. Lasted about two or maybe three hours, and I ended up with some quality shots. Nothing was planned ahead of time, things just happened. Did not add any background music this time, and left all audio as it was captured. No color tweaking either. As always, hope you like it. (Please make sure you choose a high quality version.)

This video was filmed at the Oahu's North Shore that always attracts kite surfing. I was lucky to be there on a good day, and find a good spot to shoot this video. Video color corrected, audio as recorded. As always, hope you enjoy watching it. A short piece of music in the video is based on composition Romanze by Robert Schumann (1810-56). It was transcribed for guitar by Caledonio Romero. An orchestration for other instruments by Vatsek. I still have some good tapes left, and may put together another video. It will all depend on how popular this one is! (Please make sure you choose a high quality version.)

This video was filmed in Santa Cruz, CA several days ago. The title comes from the cliff road near Pacific Ocean. I drove up and down that road trying to get best possible filming conditions, which are tricky; sunset, Ocean, moving cars, an uneven road surface, and a camera inside a moving vehicle. Think I managed it to a good degree, but some more work in this area is still needed. OK, now the music piece. It took several days to compose it, and it fits quite well with the video scenes. It enhances the quality of the early evening, and some wind breeze helps as well. The closing scene and audio come from a different beach, filmed a little bit later with a much stronger wind. As always, hope you like it, maybe even enjoy it, comment, rate, SUBSCRIBE, etc. (Please make sure you choose a high quality version.)

I wrote a music piece first, then started to look around for something to film that would match what I played already so many times. A trip to the Pacific Ocean resulted in a tape full of good scenes that I could edit into a cohesive video. It is quite short, simply because the music piece is short, although I must say it took me more than a week to compose it. The video title is fairly obvious, the windy weather did play havoc with the camera and audio recording equipment, but I managed to edit those pieces out. Hope you will be willing to spend a bit over a minute to watch it. And after watching it, right away start pressing the SUBSCRIBE button. Thanks a lot.

A 'Mooo' video is somewhat similar to the last music video because it is recorded in a more or less the same location, north of San Jose, CA. I got myself into a staring contest with a young bull, and so the video title came from just that scene. The wind is shaking things around. It is quite cold, but I believe I managed to warm it quite a bit, thanks to the beautiful movie making magic. I wrote the music part just for this video, just as I always do. All natural sounds are retained to improve the space around the visual video part. I tried to get both video and sound to be: peaceful, quiet, in an upbeat mood, pretty, and maybe even memorable. Hopefully I succeeded on most of those. Thanks for watching. (For a better audio add &fmt=18 in the http address.)

This video is about surfing in Santa Cruz, CA. At least that was my idea one afternoon on a cold day in February. Once I reviewed the tapes, everything looked quite warm, not at all the way I remembered. Lots of dogs, I guess, did not expect so many of them to be there. So the video is about surfing, dogs, birds, etc. A small piece of music at the end of this video was written by me, just for this video. What a dedication on my part! Thanks for watching, enjoying and SUBSCRIBING. (Added after video release: A higher resolution of this video can be watched by adding &fmt=18 to the http address of the video, for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-9kQOp729U&fmt=18 However, the original aspect ratio of the video is not preserved, you end up with a distorted image for HDV videos.)
