  • @mrbill I hope Santa will grant me that!

  • You should try to get a 12mm in your bag if Santa is visiting

  • Thank you! @matt_gh2 I think I can work with that, although some parts could be also taste.

    I wanted to go for an overall look instant of too big of differences between the different scenes+ part is also the lens. ut for this video in particular, the 'vintage' look pulls it of imo. Although I'm adding some new lenses to my collection this christmas. :-P

  • Hey @DrDave. Thank you for your feedback, but what exactly do you mean with "too symmetrical" scene changes? Please elaborate.

  • For me the rhythm in the scene changes is too symmetrical, but they are very well done.

  • @dlzn These are both very well done! I like the Feliciana Forever one better, because the "hazy" look you achieved matches the song well. In the D-Luzion video, which is nice, the "hazy" look doesn't quite work for me. I would rather have seen something a little crisper/sharper and without as much color desaturation (I would guess it was the lenses or color grading that yielded this). For example at 1:23, the female singer is supposed to be the real presence, but the "hazy" look has her just blending and fading into the background almost. Also, for the Felciana video I didn't like the wardrobe choice of her orange and yellow "Kid and Play" shirt...but I bet a ton of people thought it was cool, so that's really a style preference.

    But all that said, the videos are really, really well done. Keep rocking!

  • @wordsofpeace could you enlighten me please?

  • Thank you very much! @IronFilm

    Hmmm. Good question, I see what you mean. I would say an artistic choice, but also I had to work with what I had, because of the low budget. But the client was very happy and satisfied with the result, so that makes me happy as well. But good tip! Thank you.

  • Thanks for your reply. @mrbill True. Honest reason, why I haven't really done that is, because I'm not fond of the lenses I use for wides. But I agree and that's a good tip! Thank you. My next christmas gift will be a Voigtlander Nokton 25mm or 17.5mm for it's sharpness. Can't wait to test it! (:

  • These wouldn't look out of place on some of the urban promo channels currently out there, so well done. The thing I would mention is that one important part of editing is contrast, and by that I mean contrast in shot size. A lot of your footage is a medium close up, which can get wearing after a while. Shoot some wides! Best of luck.

  • interesting comment about the wall shots, for me, the floral pattern somehow managed to balance the framing.

  • Well.... I'm impressed! Very nice.

    One question, in the second video, at about 60s and 70s in (& 130s & 160s), why did you place them so low down in the frame against the wall??
