Lumiere is a film tradition involving a fixed camera, no editing whatsoever, and typically even no sound. I left the sound in though as I love hearing the waves. Scroll down to the bottom of any page to see a list of all the categories. I love this style especially at the beach – somehow the magic of a minute can capture the serenity, the solitude, the vastness of the ocean, the playfulness of children – all without any words or planning at all.

I am practicing getting out of the way, and letting grace happen. Even Lexi stayed off camera for all but a few frames. :-)

The lumiere film-making tradition means no sound, no editing, no camera movement – and in this case, one minute duration. Enjoy the serendipity! You can read the original show notes and comments here for more in-depth discussion.

Beach Walk #567 – First Lumiere, for Rupert

January 11, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , | 12 Comments

I learned about “lumiere”:http://www.cinescene.com/dash/lumiere.html style from my friend in London, “Rupert Howe”:http://twittervlog.tv/. (Though “Andreas in Denmark”:http://www.solitude.dk/archives/20070522-2202/ probably gets credit for nudging our group of videobloggers in this direction.)

I’ve been wanting to make one, and then this week at the beach as it was nearing sunset, I just grabbed out little “Sanyo Xacti”:http://barefeetshop.com/photo-502394-B000QSNQ9S-Sanyo_Xacti_VPC_E1_6MP_Waterproof_MPEG4_Camcorder_with_5x_Optical_Zoom_Blue.html waterproof movie camera, and grabbed a clip of Shane and Lexi. Amazing IMO. Unscripted, and unplanned, but notice how psychic and scene-stealing our little pup is! I am also submitting it to the “Semanal”:http://semanal.ning.com group, folks who are making one video a week for 2008. You can still join us anytime!

UPDATE: I have been informed of a “central site on the web”:http://videoblogging.info/lumiere/ that has over 500 Lumiere’s collected since 2007. It is a rich archive and if you like this art form, please go and explore. This has been organized and nurtured by “Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen”:http://www.solitude.dk/ and “Brittany Shoot”:http://bshoot.blogspot.com/ who are pioneers in the videoblogging community. You can see Brittany on Beach Walks in Episode #185″:http://www.beachwalks.tv/2006/08/26/beach-walk-185-bridging-with-brittany/.
