UPDATE: There's now a Remastered 12-hr SLEEP version of this up on the channel :)

It’s a warm, summer evening, and a storm is approaching in the distance beyond the forest. The wind has already arrived, whipping up gusts of warm movement through the leaves. The atmosphere is balmy, there’s a lull and a heaviness in the air and the deep, distant rumbling is both soothing and powerful.

〰️
Due to popular request, I have created an alternate version of my original ‘Calm Before The Storm’ video, in a way that is entirely new and original, but addresses some requested changes. This version doesn't have the recurring "clicking" sound which bothered some people (which were tree branches creaking), and it is also a longer duration, for those wanting to use it to go to sleep.

This version features a brand new viewpoint of the scene, which shows much more of those glorious stormy skies and a little more movement in the trees and grass.

This project involved reworking everything in e-on VUE, then Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe After Effects, editing the new sound, editing the new video, encoding the new video and uploading here to YouTube.

🏝️ * How I make these videos *

You can watch the process behind one of my videos here:    • How I make my ambience videos | Behin...  

All of my videos are completely original and made from scratch. They take weeks to produce and are completed in different stages.

I create my 3D scenes in VUE — sculpting terrains, sourcing materials, modelling items, and placing them into the scene, adjusting lighting, angles, and other effects.

Once I’ve rendered the scene, I might use compositing techniques and other adjustments in Adobe Photoshop to add in new features. Then, I import it into Adobe After Effects, where I bring the scene to life with various animations and effects.

Next, I create a soundscape specifically for the atmosphere by combining several sounds together using a sound mixer, which involves applying various settings and adjustments.

Finally, everything is put together with video editing software and uploaded here for you to enjoy!
