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.

An ambient, acoustic royalty free music theme with lovely folk guitar bits, melodica, percussion and plucks, best for travel, family, summer clips or slideshows.
composer: Alexander Shwarzborg | duration: 136 seconds
Dramatic and emotional cinematic track. After a short intro, which is is mainly driven by Exotic Percussion and a Guitar the Main Theme gets introduced by a Solo Cello. After a second repetition of the Main Theme by the whole String Section, the mood of the track shifts to be more mysterious and ominous, introducing the Second Theme, which is played by the Violins and the Cellos. At the end of the track the Main Theme returns and the track continuously builds up until it ends in an open way.
