Tribute video to one of my favorite outdoor brands, Moonstone. No longer with us, they made fantastic equipment - clothing, sleeping bags, more, for many years that were at the high end of gear made and had a loyal following. I still own a handful of their items today.
Moonstone was founded by Chuck Kennedy and Fred Williams, the brand is now owned by Columbia Sportswear.

Little to no AI was used in this, aside from the background thumbnail, made using Midjourney, and edited in Photoshop. Apps used were Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Audition, and Media Encoder. Some of the video was shot myself, some is stock. I had to re-create and then animated the logo myself, which took the most time. I wrote the script myself. The music is stock. The gravely voiceover is actually my voice when I had a cold!
