@suzres Thank you Hervé. And yes I like I+II+III+ I think that this kind of work could give me ideas for my current project. I particularly like the variety of textures and patterns. I'm very open for suggestions of videos like this one. Please do not hesitate to give me some advice! (I see that you're probably french, are you far from Paris?)

@DanPV Yes! I have a new project, a title keeps appearing in my mind : "Nothing Personal". I'd like to take images from various older videos of my own and put them together with shots of Paris I'm currently working on. And work deeper in the direction of lenght (the feeling of time). Can't say to much right now, have to work more on this before getting a final idea. And thank you for your support! Please do not hesitate to share your work too :)

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Yes it is... I also credited personal-view (Thanks section) in the closing credits of the video :) Have a nice one!

@sulph - wow, that's great news! I knew there was something special about OKNA when I saw it. Do you have any other projects in the works that we can look forward to?

Hello,

Just to say that OKNA

has been awarded with the Best Editing prize of the last edition of http://www.laguarimba.com/ film festival in Italy last august.

If personal-view wasn't existing I would have probably not buy a new camera (GH2) and this video wouldn't exist. It has been spotted here or on vimeo by the festival staff. It will also be screened in another festival in Porto, Portugal, next week.

So thanks for existing, keep on the good work, thank you again for your kind words and cheers to you all :)

Hello guys,

I know that my little contribution here is not off topic, but it is not what you'd like to listen right now (GH4 feedback - for me : boring). Anyway, to be straight I have been contacted by a member of the staff of a new and very popular short film festival, asking me to submit my film : http://www.laguarimba.com/ => on vimeo, I wasn't asking for anything.

I did so without any hope, but my film has been chosen.

My first will was to pleased my step father with some travel movie. He didn't liked it. It ended-up being in a film festival.

It would have never been possible without your (our) community (I don't know how) - but I know that it is.

Let's face it. You're the best DSLR community on the web.

Greetings to all.

This new short film festival : http://www.laguarimba.com/ will rise.

@ whynot just let me know if it is effective. For your friends I mean. If not, I will try to do better next time :-)

@ radikalfilm You're right, I poorly chose my words. I will reply to your question (my background) in PM.

very nice! I send link to friends to motivate them :-)

@radikalfilm Thank you again. I'm sure you can imagine what's the impact of such cheering comments about this short : it's beautiful. But on the other side, I can't let you say that I'm a fraud, a disguised professional trying to lure people for a mysterious (and obviously vain) reason.

I already toned down the fact this was my first movie on this thread by admitting that I had a first experience in 1998. With a group of friends we made a short I was directing, but a true team effort. Between this experience (a little disappointing - I said to myself : too easy to make a film - and you will see I was wrong cause the film has a lot of problems) and this "montage" I did nothing.

So no, I'm not a professional of movie making, I never did any editing between 2001 and 2013. To be clear, I have lost my job, and I'm currently unemployed. Witch gave me the time to make this short in order to satisfy my family. Nothing less, nothing more.

Once again, this response is not personal. I'm very proud that you liked my work. And if you're looking for someone to work with you, I'm completely available!

Have a good one ;-)

My 1998 short on Youtube :

@radikalfilm Why Eisenstein? Because it was shot in ex Soviet Union or for technical "similarities"? I particularly enjoyed the first part of Ivan the terrible. Anyway, thank you for the kind words :-)

thought it would be but even so it's nice. I can't be bothered watching most TV but I could watch your short again.

You must have a steady hand! Gorgeous images, fantastic use of sound, lovely feel. Really enjoyed it, thank you.

Wow. This is totally awesome. To tell you the truth I've seen so many traveling GH2 videos, bunch of tests, and a lot of short films, but for me this was much more meaningful than so many others. It has a lot of reality, raw moments that you caught with beautiful composition and light, and the edit/music goes really well together. Very real, sentimental, nostalgic, and pretty much like a portrait of life. Congratulations on the great job. I love the part at 3:15 with the laughing. Even though I don't understand a word, it still made me smile :)

don't stop making films!

Wow. Nice shots. Keep shooting. You have a sweet eye.

@DanPV I have watched the film of the two guys in Canada. Well, what can I say, it is like a commercial. Like they are selling something. But for their defense I had cold feets when they walked barefoot in the river. Good luck for them! :)

@jpbturbo @oscillian Thank you, so glad you liked it. Merci !

@Alienhead Thank you! And thanks again for the link, I didn't know this director at all, and I think I will try to find her work and watch it.

I think I will upgrade my vimeo account to upload a significantly better file.

Have a good one!
