Fashion & Portraits

The Espoo shootfest on 28th of Feb left me overwhelmed. Reachign for last the thread of reality, could this be true?  The rude awakening came on monday morning. Good part was that the whole event was not just in my head, it actualy happend!

Our models fought the long day through pain and suffering (almost literaly ) and Noora worked at a feverish pitch to get a makeup after makeup done. My hat is is off for you! The eforts left me feeling quilty as my job seemed to be too easy.

I brought  compact camera to shoot behind the scenes clips and snaps for the blog. Im not into video too much but the ‘home videos’ give you pretty good idea of what we did. A pic of maijus car trunk. Nooo, we did not have anything extra with us. Even forgot couple of bags at home.

More pictures dropping in to the blog during the week. I have couple of more to photoshop before I ship it all out.

1 video: shows all the cool shoes we shot. They might classified as a medevil torture equipment but they do look cool!
2 video: Sandra shooting Sini
3 video: Janne shooting
4 video: The gear – all I had with me to shoot fits in a very professional Ikea-bag. Notice the second blue bag = two ezyboxes.

Okay..

Point and shoot camera makes  .mov files. From any point of view the vga video it makes is just useless but I’ve had some fun playing around with it. As much as I have dissed video and specialy video in DSLRs I’ve found my self thinkin of buying a video camera.  Mov-files are pain in the ass and I’m not even sure can they be edited in any way? (Tried to convert it, kick it, punch it and so on..)

What I’d want from a video camera?

-Resolution (more than vga)

-Fileformat that is easy to edit.

-Quick  and easy cut&paste editing software. (text up front, music on the background, 20 seconds from there to there, one minute from there to there and thats it..)

-CHEAP! Like less than 200e.

Why? I don’t even know. I kind a like the idea of doing some videos like these but with better tools, but not even thinking of doing something for real like Eero and Antti are doing on their sites.

The videos

First one is a quick tour around our location at the basement of Mikas studio. Judge for your self but I think its a awsome place to shoot and I’m looking forward to visiting there in the future.  Second clip is from a mountain bike shoot I did with Eero and Antti. Nothing fancy, nothing drastic.  We had to go out and shoot something and figured that bike will do fine..

And yes, I know these are almost too embarrassing..
