Lovely Background Music for “Tulum”

Tulum is one of the most beautiful archeological sites in the Yucatan Peninsula. Surrounded by rustling palm trees and perched on a cliff overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea, the section on Tulum in the Yucatan Travel Movie needed a poignant heartful musical accompaniement and I am happy to have found it in one of the Sony Creative Software Cinescore selections.

Ah, Tulum!

Tulum is such a gorgeous archeological zone. The aqua waters of the Caribbean glisten with sunlight at the foot of El Castillo. I felt mesmerized with the dynamic video footage as I started the editing process today on this wonderful Yucatan location in the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Isla Cozumel Finished at Last!

Well, this time I really have completed the section of the Yucatan Travel Video on Cozumel Island. I put the finishing touches on the car ferry ride back to the mainland, again, enjoying the wonderful guitar music and singing of Tom Petrachenko rendering his own composition, All These Ghosts. As for the video footage of this part of the video, I especially love the little chihuahua dressed in a pink gingham dress who took that ferry ride with us.

Marvelous Cinescore Music

I discovered lovely “New Age” music on my Sony Vegas Platinum Pro 9 Cinescore software package that I am using as an audio background for sections of the Isla Cozumel part of the Yucatan Travel Video.

Still Editing Cozumel Island

I wish this editing process on the Yucatan Travel Movie didn’t take so long and that I did not have so many other appointments and responsibilities to attend to. I am still working on Cozumel Island!

A Visit to Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E.

I love visiting the Health Center/Spa at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. They have wonderful, relaxing, rejuvenating therapies such as steam baths, massages, and colonics.

Isla Cozumel Bungalow with Hammock

On Isla Cozumel, we stayed in a lovely bungalow, complete with a hammock and an outdoor eating area. We loved it. Rigiht now, as I go through the footage for the Yucatan Travel Movie, I enjoy reminiscing about the lovely place where we stayed while on Cozumel.

Tightening Up Editing on Yucatan Travel Movie

Such a satisfying day tightening up the editing on the Yucatan Travel Movie to go with the accompanying music. So much fun. I worked on the Playa del Carmen beach and pelican scene and the car ferry voyage from the Yucatan mainland to Cozumel Island.

Lunch with Lemurian Book Author

Today I enjoyed a delightful lunch with author and speaker Una Marcotte in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Una is the author of From Creation to Lemuria, a wonderful book, which my company, SunTopaz LLC, will be publishing.

Back to Cozumel

After a number of days away from editing the Yucatan Travel Movie, I am returning to the joyful exercise of choosing video clips on Cozumel Island, trimming the clips to their most effect length, putting them together, followed by the great fun of adding music to the scenes.
