One Day in the Life of a Man’s Monastery

 

I usually don’t post on a Sunday. But, today I couldn’t sleep so I checked my FaceBook and found this posted to a group hosted my a former student of mine, Ruti Alon. I was moved by this. For several reasons. One was that it was so well shot. The videography is stunning. This has to have been shot with a 5D MKII, though I am just guessing.  I am also impressed with it’s simplicity. No extra music bed, no narration, just ambient sound. Some might call it slow moving, but I think it fits the subject. I feel it is contemplative. The simple production reminds me of how “CBS Sunday Morning” with Charles Karault would end with a “Moment of Nature.”  Here it is for you to watch and calm your spirit this Sunday morning.

Nektaria, this one is for you.

      Riveting is not the choice of words I would use to describe this, but it is really well done. As a videographer, I can see how you would love the videography.
