VIDEO: Behind the Scenes at Kau Manor

For the past few years, I've thought a lot about taking my lovely readers with me to a photo shoot some day. This is the day! I have good news for you - those who read Stellarium from outside of Estonia, can watch it as well as the video has English subtitles. But I wanted the video to have something more than the photo shoot - I wanted to share the beauty of Kau Manor with you. In addition to that, the nice vibe that we always have with Meisi when we're shooting.

Our first vlog takes place over two days when we were shooting at Kau Manor, having an adventure, and enjoying life. We were staying at the Batak suite of the manor, shot in different rooms and dined at their restaurant Eight Legs. We also had my daughter Rene with us, who filmed the behind the scenes videos. To be completely honest, I was not planning on giving Rene the camera at first, but since she asked so nicely (made big eyes and the cutest face in the world), I gave it to her. 

This video is captured with one of the best cameras for vlogging, the Sony RX100 III and I only have good words for it. It works magic in the hands of an adult, as well as a child. When I got home and looked at the material, I thought I should have given Rene the camera for every photo shoot. She has a good eye and I believe it will only get better. Even if there are moments when the image is shaky, the emotion is well above it, as well as the knowing that my 10-year-old daughter plays such a big tole in the making of this first behind the scenes video. This video takes us back to two lovely April days of work and fun hand in hand. Of course I'm waiting for your comments on how you liked the video and whether you want stories like this in the future. Happy watching!

Viimased paar aastat olen mõelnud, mõelnud ja mõelnud, et kord võiksin oma armsad lugejad pildistamisele kaameraga kaasa võtta. Täna see lõpuks juhtub! Kuna Stellariumit loetakse ka teistest riikidest, monteerisime seekordsele videole inglise keelsed subtiitrid. Kuid ma soovisin, et selles videos oleks lisaks pildiseeriatele midagi enamat - ma tahtsin jagada sinuga Kõue mõisa ilu, elu ja olustikku. Lisaks seda mõnusat meeleolu, mis meil Meisiga koos fotoseeriaid luues alati tekib.

Seega on meie esimene vlog tehtud läbi kahe päeva, mil olime aprillis Kõue mõisas pildistamas, seiklemas ja elu nautimas. Me peatusime Kõue mõisa sviidis Batak, pildistasime erinevates ruumides ja einestasime nende restoranis "Kaheksa Jalga". Lisaks Meisile oli kaasas minu tütar Rene, kes filmis palju behind the scenes võtteid. Kui üdini aus olla, polnud mul alguses plaani Renele kaamerat anda, kuid kuna ta nii armsalt küsis (ajas silmad suureks ja naeratas kavalalt), lubasin tal kätt proovida. 

See video on filmitud ühe maailma parima vlogimiskaameraga Sony RX 100 III ja mul jätkub selle kohta vaid kiidusõnu. See teeb imesid nii täiskasvanu kui lapse käes. Kui ma koju jõudsin ja materjali läbi vaatasin, mõtlesin, et oleksin pidanud Renele andma igat pildiseeriat tehes kaamera. Tal on päris hea käsi ja aina paremaks läheb. Kui leidubki neid kohti, kus kaamera pisut vangerdab, siis minu jaoks kaalub selle üles emotsioon ja teadmine, et just minu 10aastane tütar mängib selle esimese behind the scenes video tegemisel nii palju kaasa. See video viib meid tagasi kahte mõnusasse päeva, kus mäng ja töö käisid käsikäes. Loomulikult ootan ma sinu muljeid, kuidas video meeldis ja kas ootate ka edaspidi sarnaseid lugusid. Head vaatamist!
