The nature scenes of ice waterfalls from the Nelson BC Canada area in the Kootenays seemed to me an interesting parallel to the ice comet named LoveJoy.

The key to winning Castle Wars 2 is to dominate resource production and deny your opponent resources. This is done by playing resource production cards on your own castle, resource destructive cards on your enemy’s castle, and of course everyone’s favourite: The Thief. Another trick is to play with a small deck so that your favourite cards come up more often. I use a 77 card deck with great success.

The background audio was created by me.. it contains an electric guitar synth, some flowing water from a fresh mountain stream, and a binaural beat frequency intended to heal relationships.

Good luck and have fun!

Music is “Dreamy Cybernetic” by the artist ‘Re-Horakhty’ from the album ‘Under the Moss”.

FAQ:

The iPhone 4 is such an amazing device.. so much power and versatility in a small little package! My favourite feature is the HD movie recorder — sometimes I see something noteworthy and I take a little movie of it using my iPhone 4.

The music in this movie is “Jungle” made by Romulus of 2ACCESS

This video is a collection of random scenes from in and around Nelson BC in the country of Canada during this past year (2011):

• sunlight ripples over underwater rocks (tilt up to autumn forest and blue sky)
• toyota forklift pushes a cube of 3/8″ plywood into a storage bin
• chemically enhanced fire burns brightly in the darkness
• restored classic muscle car with blue paint and sparkling chrome
• swollen stream spring flood water rages under highway bridge
• steam rises from mineral deposits at Ainsworth Hot Springs
• airplane trails smoke in aerial acrobatic manoeuvres over Kootenay Lake
• forklift removes a wooden playhouse from a truck (timelapse)
• plasma bubble
• bin of empty liquor cans and bottles from a party in the Slocan Valley
• Cottonwood Falls colourized to look like splashing red blood
• Nelson hippie plays acoustic guitar in coffee shop
• evaporating mist blows across rippling lake water at dawn

Access to the Crystal Cave is a difficult hike over mountainous terrain but the destination is truly rewarding. Chunks of crushed white quartz crystal lay sparkling in pure mountain spring water. An amazing variety of plant life resides in the canyon leading up to the cave.

The crystal cave itself has a narrow opening you must scramble through on all fours, but once inside an adult can stand at full height in most places. The cave forms a large L shape as it cuts into the depths of the mountain.

At the first bend there is an extra chamber with a treasure chest full of pennies, empty beer cans, and a burned out deck of playing cards. After passing the bend the cave becomes pitch black and silent. This second corridor continues for several tens of metres and then dead ends. My infrared camera picked up some interesting cave paintings on the crystalline rocks inside the very back of the cave.

There was a large flat black rock on the cave floor which made a perfect meditation seat. The silence was so deep I could hear my ears ringing. After staring into the blackness for an eternity, I could just barely make out a reflection of daylight on the far wall of the cave back at the bend where the chambers were located.

Technical Notes:

I shot these photos using a Nikon D5000 and a zoom lens. Selected photos were shined up and exported as an origami photo slideshow using Aperture 3.

Next I created a simple harmony chord track with a few little twists using GarageBand 11 and an M-AUDIO KeyRig 49. I exported my audio creation at CD quality to generate an .aif file.

iMovie 11 was used to merge the Aperture 3 photo slideshow, GarageBand 11 .aif audio track, and a tri-thalmic binaural beat frequency, said to stimulate the third eye.

The red headphones are new.. I finally found a good stock image and purchased some reprint rights and I feel good about this — supporting artists and keeping copyright content legit. I’ll let you wonder how I made that video effect but will let you know it can be done using only iMovie 11 and Mac OSX Snow Leopard’s Preview program.

May you be blessed..
