Opus of the Seasons (Short Film and Original Spoken Word Poetry)

Editing Poetry Videos

I spent some time today learning how to use DaVinci Resolve basic video editing suit for this poetry video, and I've got to say it is one hell of a decent bit of kit for a free editor.

No watermarks, plenty of effects/transitions and an intuitive user interface. Anyway, I'm not working on commission from blackmagicdesign.com who made the software, so I'll leave the big ups to a minimum 😂

About the Poem

Opus of the Seasons is an original poem I wrote about the feelings inspired by the cyclic nature of reality and the changing of the seasons. It explores themes of renewal and the rhythmic patterns that nature engenders in the soul. The unending cycle of growth and decay that takes on a beautiful significance as we get older.

I find that the natural rhythms of the turning seasons can bring great comfort throughout life, in observing them we can come to terms with our own mortality on a much more profound level.

Anyway, enough of my poetic ramblings… the poem says it better than I can in prose.

Please do check out the video reading, and let me know what you think in the comments.
Do you find that the changing of the seasons elicit philosophical musings on the nature of existence?
