This is a short video of a G Scale Society open day I took three years ago. It was a great garden for video as there were a number of locations where it was possible to place a camera and capture the trains without the distraction of seeing the house, fences or anything else grossly out of scale in the background. The camera was a GroPro Hero 3 and all shots were taken with the camera tripod mounted. It was edited in Final Cut Pro X.
 
great vedio, nicely done
 
Enjoyed the video and the music. Thanks.
 
Thanks everyone. The video seems to please most people. As for the music, almost every film and TV programme have background music to set the mood. I quite like the gentle piano and guitar music as I felt it did set the mood for watching trains gently rambling through a lovely garden setting. Some locos have sound units and some do not so it also, IMHO, added continuity. Just shows the you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Perhaps someone might like to start a thread about what makes a good garden railway video?

Music certainly enhances a film. Being a film buff of sorts, I like to watch old ones, really old. Whenever I have Turner Classic Movies on and my wife happens to walk into the room, she just rolls her eyes. My point is, however, the film scores. Mostly all vintage films have an abundance of music in the background. While newer movies do have some excellent scores, the music takes more of a back seat. About two weeks ago, I watched The Red House, with Edward G. Robinson. One of the few movies he made that didn't involve gangsters. TCM had not shown it before. It dates to the late '40s. I thouroughly enjoyed the movie and the score by Miklos Rozsa really enhanced the the film.
 
Hello, just to add my two cents worth on videos.

I dont mind videos which have music with the intro, but definately not when trains are running. Even if locos don't have sound, I find the sounds of wheels clickety-clacking over joints and trackwork most enjoyable.

My pet hate is when videos of prototype railways have sound over the top of the sounds of operating locos- and pet pet hate when its some boring repetitive digitally-generated music (noise!).

But of course its subjective about I me my myself and what one personally individually likes. LOL

So no disrespect intended to the video makers and sharers.
Thank you all for that you do.

After all, I can just turn off the music sound if I dont like it.
