This was an attempt to build off the success of The Nude Woodsman. It was another shockingly cold morning, and I decided to shoot another winter naked video. This time there would be nothing as elaborate as chopping wood. I just wanted to capture myself nude in the frigid temperatures.

The setup was simple. I would just walk across the field right up to the camera. The only wrinkle was that I brought along a digital thermometer just to prove how fucking cold it was outside. After I got the camera set up on the tripod I was about to walk to my starting point, but I realized that it would leave footprints in the otherwise virgin snow. It was an uncharacteristic show of forethought on my part. So I just walked around the side of the field out of frame.

That was pretty much it. To edit it all I had to do was to trim the one clip, put slates on the start and end, and paste in some music. I went with the little known Pink Floyd song "Terminal Frost" because the title matched the theme, but the music did give a fitting vibe.

The video turned out okay for what it was. I like the oblique angle and golden quality of the early morning sun. It's also cool that you can't tell I'm naked at first because I'm so far away, and it slowly becomes apparent as I get closer to the camera. I also like the in-your-face quality as I put my junk right in the frame and show the temperature on the thermometer to prove with no doubt that I was indeed naked in sub-zero temperatures. And I appreciate a video that has a micro short running time.

So this piece is no big whoop, but it has its charm, and I think it's a nice addition to my catalog.
