Key West: A Local’s Perspective

Docklight Productions is a creative video & media production studio situated on the tiny island of Key West, Florida. We love it here and think you will too. Over the years we’ve compiled a big list of various shots throughout Key West highlighting some of the best places, businesses, and people, who call this paradise home.
Key West is a beautiful artistic community, a fishing community, a party community, and we wanted to show the world that this place is more than just a tropical paradise. This video is our desire to share with the world what Key West is in the best possible way, a local’s perspective. Setting aside the time to film and edit this video reminds us why we here at Docklight Productions love living and working every day in Key West, Florida.

I kiss key west so much. Heaven on earth and the trio to dry torftugas was the best part. Stayed a month with my fiance before we split up and it was rhr best month of my life. Its been almost a year since our month spent vacationing there. We stayed right off Duval at the gardens inn which was the absolute best place we saw to stay and i luved there many years ago and its always been the cream of the crop to me. This video almosf had me in tears. Very good representation of the island.

This is thoughtfully & lovingly put together. Especially thinking of you now that Irma passed through. Written 9/14/17.

[@19ponyboy]

I have been to Key West every year for the last 30 years ....this vid is magnificent as it captures the very essence of the island. You have to watch closely as you can find different things each time you watch. Great job coming from a ex Kodak worker who knows a thing or two about photography

[@vg5157]

WOW !! , I know Key West ,and I have to say this is a condensed document of what Key West really is !,nice job !

[@keithallen550]

Wow !!!! Great Video. Don't know how I missed this one. Good Job !!!

[@thegreg79]

This is one of my favorite videos to share with friends that I am pitching a visit to the island to.... this is so well edited and the music scores and footage together truly capture the quiet and elegant moments Key West has to offer on the daily. I have probably watched this 20 times and find new things every time that I recognize or to put on my list of things to check out on this crazy little pile of sand. Thank you, sincerely, for this piece of work. It is truly beautiful. Cheers!

[@DockLightProductions]

You are the man Greg

I love to visit with friends there! Love it there, getting ready to head that way soon!

[@kw19193]

Cheers Matthew. Hmmm, you might just have a future for this sort of thing . . . Very, very well done -- thoughtful and sensitive while at the same time neither maudlin nor pandering, not an easy thing to do. Your eye for the shot is matched by your editing skills. Cheers!

[@chrisberg4952]

I've been there and back. Beautiful!

[@thegreg79]

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful cinematography. Wow. Just wow...!

[@DockLightProductions]

You're the man Greg

[@TAPPChannel]

you have put a lot of work in this!! Thumbs up!!

[@jansport1601]

What a joy to find longer view times so the heart and soul can absorb the image, while the faster cuts, supported by the music, provide contrast. Great editing job.

[@DockLightProductions]

That's really kind Jan and thank you for the comment. You really picked up on exactly what I was going for with this :) That's charming

[@josh2k4]

Can't wait to go next month

[@vg5157]

This is for Inan Raeder ,listen if you want to go from paradise to hell ,yes yo can go from Key West to Havana ( in reality you have to fly from. Miami) ,just now I realize how many naive people living in this world. Key West represent freedom, diversity,tolerance,love and must of all Hope ,those things disappear in Cuba long time ago.

[@victoriagameza4955]

Beautiful video !

[@davideustache4119]

Proud to be a native conch.

[@DHEMGHJS]

Can I get a flight to Havana from there? BTW love this music, what is it called please?

[@cherifbar]

excellent!

[@Matt_from_Florida]

To Rachel, and the magical week we spent together in Key West. Time Rocks By Matthew Welsh Time rocks, humming the strain of its song, And you walk in the golden embrace of the sun. Only in the darkness of dreams Do I lie again in your arms. Time rocks, forever humming its song. Time rocks to the ancient rhythm Of the love song we shared When my body was more Than a reflection In the crystal eye of your mind, And the touch of my flesh Kindled a flame in your heart In the heat of the day. Time rocks, singing its song, And the empty cradle of your loving arms, Which once softly held all my hopes and desires, Now holds securely the love of another For what seems like an eternity. How can I not care, For how can I not have loved you, After kissing your soft lips Again and again under an endless sky? So I walk again The mirrored mansion of your memory; Deserted hallways Where your picture still hangs highest, While your silent reflection looks away. Frost now clings to the mirror Once warmed by the closeness of your face. Not long ago, It’s handle felt the softest touch of all, The caress of your loving hand In the cool, gentle light of a new day. Through the milky glass of time I gaze out over sleepless nights Forever searching for you. In the sky above stars Make holes in the ceiling of heaven, But you don’t see them. Why then I wonder, Are they there? Their beauty is wasted Without yours in it. I turn away, For the night has shattered. Its broken darkness falls into my soul, Where it finds emptiness And is alone. Can something so broken, so empty, Ever be whole again? Touch is not touch Since knowing you. Though the Earth is filled with women, No warmth is complete and protecting Save for yours. So I spend my time, For I can spend nothing more, Until the heart Which you owned so completely, Comes back to me.

[@lenazoller6121]
