"Straight to NO.1"!

"Straight to NO.1"! · August 26th, 2009, 03:01 AM

Been extremely busy with work, have not posted here or elsewhere recently. Going to catch up with with that, share some latest.
Also getting ready for a ReFrame, which is a big responsibility, hope to show variety of work that is a bit different, not duplicating myself (to a degree :) or my colleagues around the world!

Cheers, Let me kno what you think of wedding film promo, "Straight to NO.1", (a bit crazy but lots of fun :)

I find watching your videos inspiring & frustrating at the same time. Inspired by your great work and frustrated that I am not at your level. You're on my list of the top 25.

i would consider Oleg in the same league as StillMotion, Jason Magbanua... so for me definitely in the Top 10..

Thank you a lot everyone. Your words of encouragement mean a lot.

Still have to learn, study too many things, and it's everyday learning, isn't it?
That's fun part of our craft, but once it's clear what to do, have to change around,
so it doesn't become predictable. Glad to share what I know!

I did give you some blog lovin' already Oleg but feel like I should comment here too :)

Great work - extremely innovative and original which is really refreshing to see. Great energy and a tight, tight edit too. Can only imagine the hours that have gone into it but well worth it.

I actually shot my first Russian wedding a couple of weeks ago which was quite an experience. Loud chants of "gor'ko" throughout the night as well as many, many spontaneous, unannounced speeches/toasts. Very challenging to keep up with it so my hat goes off to you.

Again - very impressive work! Well done.

Cheers,

Matt.
