Devon, in the south of England has some lovely cottages. There is nothing better on a cold winters night than building a warm toasty fire to relax with. The snow was falling fast and unfortunately for me, all the wood was in a little out house round the back of the cottage. I put on my boots and coat and wandered out in the snow. The owner of the cottage was kind enough to put a little wheel barrow out by the logs, which surprisingly were all very dry. I managed to tilt the barrow through the back door and emptied a huge pile of logs by the fireplace.

I had been out that day filming a corporate video and was so tired that I couldn't wait to relax with a good book, warming my feet on a lovely little fire. I was a few pages in when I stopped to appreciate this soothing fireplace that was in front of me. The flames were so calming and I was almost in a trance when I thought to myself, "Wouldn't this make a fantastic screensaver?" I had really never thought of filming a fireplace video before, but I thought "why not?" and "wouldn't it be great if other people who didn't have a fireplace could enjoy this like I am?"

Even though I was so relaxed, I couldn't help but to grab my Red One camera and frame up this cozy little fire. I mounted up a 24mm prime and was a bit concerned that I would have to get too close to the fire. I really wanted to have a nice deep depth of field in this shot and wanted all of the fireplace to be in focus. I began to record and periodically check the camera for heat. Everything was fine and I managed to shoot a 20 minute video for Uscenes that really captured the moment.

Once I had finished it was back to the book but I was proud to capture a really relaxing moment. Whenever I watch this video I remember that cosy little cottage in Devon.
