Uploaded on Sep 30, 2011 My second visit to Kilen Woods State Park in southwest Minnesota. Shot with a Sony HDR-CX110 mounted on a 8 ft homemade camera jib. I have a separate video which details the construction of the jib (Jiffy Jib)- search my page. I used Sony Vegas Pro to edit the video and the music track is from Danosongs.com. |
