I spent the night out in the field in the hot tent so I could get an early start up the mountain to film the predicted snowstorm.
I was not disappointed.
The blizzard hit just as I was making my way to the fields at Villanova. I was able to fly the drone during breaks in the snowstorm.
This was my first major hike since by battle with long Covid began two months ago. I felt pretty good during the hike and the whole snowy adventure got my energy up for quite a while but unfortunately I crashed for two days afterwards.
Covid Sucks!
The opening track for the camera gear prep part of the video is cool because of the nature of the editing I got use a genre that is not normally associated with nature and hiking videos, namely 'trap beat'.

The music for the rest of the video is more suited for nature and drone footage with it's ambient pads and lone piano melody. The great thing about this track is the composer provided an alternate version of the mix the excluded the piano melody which I used at the end of the video to give it an even more ambient effect.

A beautiful, very emotional underscore, featuring electric guitars playing flowing arpeggios with a cinematic, warm, expansive an uplifting sound. A sub bass synth is added a couple of bars into the track for added epicness and impact. Refelctive and tender, yet epic and vast. The perfect bed or underscore for any production needing emotional impact.

A mesmerizing modern heavy rock track in the vein of Muse, Slipknot, Audioslave or Metallica. Features nasty guitars, fuzzy bass and super heavy pounding drums, nothing more. Angry, aggressive, loud, raw and packed with punching power. Superb for action, extreme sports, fighting scenes etc.

An overwhelming post-rock track that starts out tenderly with a soft piano arpeggio and single note electric guitar, and gradually builds up to an emotionally catharctic explosion of sound, with a wall of guitars and pounding half-time drums. Total emotional release!
