Easy Schliersee

Abstract mountain firefighting in slo-mo. Some of the shots need a bit more contrast, but consider it a small editing excercise. The full article and video here.
Good-Bye
Good Bye from Irakli West on Vimeo.
It’s a bit heavy, pathetic and inspired by this:
Taken in Mook Holland. It’s probably the most poignant thing I’ve ever seen, and having to but not being able to say good-bye is probably the worst thing that could happen.
Octopus
Here’s a small but long overdue exercise. This time, less active work with the camera but rather focus play, movement from the subject and trains. Initially I thought to make it black and white, but left the colour as all things train related are a strong contrast to autumny washed out scenes (or something like that).
As for the story, it only developed as the editing went along, and I’m not sure about what it is anyway. I think the little girl wants her octopus to take the train, but what does it mean?

Gotta start somewhere – small editing exercise. it’s time do do this again, in my opinion

The small things
A perfect short story. Must grab video camera again.
