Thanks to sdes for hosting the file (and Mantaz for agreeing to help, too).

Having done countless photo threads, I thought it was time to do one in video format. It could be better, but I'm done with editing in Adobe Premiere for some time. It features scenes shot in or near Helsinki downtown, accompanied by a soundtrack. I think the song I chose fits the feeling rather well. I also added some visual filter that made the footage look like it was shot on old camera.

Length of the video clip itself is 3 minutes, 48 seconds.

Please, if the server works well, downloading the file shouldn't take long. If you have Windows, you shouldn't have trouble playing it.

Awaiting your feedback

eager to see it.. started download now the 100klb im getting now per sec is better then the 3 at msn! Ill give you feedback in approx 10 min!

 

[ch1le]

uh! As a huge fan of Helsinki and the Finnish People... i loved it! Urban, Alive, Emotional... great! Gotta love those Trams Lots of unseen Helsinki places... professional panning and the selection of music kay:kay: This video is a must for every urban addict!

great Job kay:

certainly one of the best 28mb downloads of my life!

Very cool video kay:
I was thinking about making something like that but I ain't have video cam and not gonna get one anytime in the near future (I'm much more excited about getting a new SLR ). Also I think it would be better to use a tripod to avoid shaking and so make the clip look more professional. Well done nonetheless kay:

Dowloading it at the moment, but speed sucks Just 6kb/s (normal 225kb/s). Il edit this message when dowloading is finished.

Great video! Only thing what was missing was high-rise buildings But that video was filmed in Helsinki's center where are no high-risers. And music was good too.

 

[Geex]

Hmm for me speed was quite good (about ~200 KB/s)

Anyway great video, i can say it's even much more interesting then those usual city promotion videos. Great job Oberleutnant and video don't look amateur to me, it's really good one.

 

[Jape]

Nice video. :yes: I was also thinking about making some kind of urban video, but results are quite poor. I like Coldplay (The scientist is better song ), but music would be more urban and in Finnish, cause this is Helsinki video (maybe Finnish hiphop, or something). And as John said, tripod would be recommended.

But nice job after all. kay: Clips from Aleksanterinkatu were my favourites!

 

[Mantas]

Actually I've already seen a half of it, but now downloading the entire video. Eager too see

 

[DenverDane]

Great job, ober! kay: It's refreshing to experience Helsinki in moving pictures instead of the usual still images.

 

[Qualtagh]

Like I said earlier, the video is brilliant!

but music would be more urban and in Finnish, cause this is Helsinki video (maybe Finnish hiphop, or something).

How about Teuvo Loman - Helsinki City Boy?

 

[Renx]

Setting new standards...

From now on, the usual photo tours would be quite bland in comparison

 

[Jarmo K]

without any exaggerations - this video was SUPERB!!!!!!

i absolutely loved it!
i'm sure i'll watch it again many times in the future and love it then, too!

the scene in the beginning with the flying doves was cool! =)
and the ending rocked as well!

toni, you rule!!!! :colgate:

 

[zippo21]

This video is awesome man!!! :eek2: u did a great job..

 

[Koniaczeq]

OMG it was awesome !!! Sooo Fresh and cretive !!!! :eek2: Helsinki is really cool place !!!

 

[Mantas]

Have just watched it and I can say that it was improved very well from the first version kay: Awesome, hope not the last one :yes:

 

[PC]

This was GREAT!! You've done a very good job, and the visual filters you used gave it a very good atmosphere kay:
Also imo, the music fit it very well.

:applause:

 

[Vaidas]

Hehe... after 6 hours of downloading I finnaly saw it Like many others said, the video is absolutely stunning ! kay: It looks very professional. Have you attended any video courses?
It was really worth waiting for the download to finish kay: Thanks for this great job!

 

[grendy]

What's wrong with that server?!

 

[sander]

Music choise is quite touchy and it fits well to Helsinki as tranquil Nordic city. I didn`t meant it as a bad thing. Yeah, I agree that it looks more interesting than usual tourist promotion videos, because it had more soulful feeling somehow.

 

[NorthStar77]

Yeah, it does have a soulful feeling! It turned out wonderful Toni. I liked it alot. And the music...brilliant choice sir. Coldplay..it's hard not to like them, and this song fits perfect!

I promised I would try to be critical, but I can't find anything to put my finger on. I don't mind the shaking, it is done almost in a nypd-blue'ish way.

I would love to have my own camera one day, and make a video inspired by this one.

btw, are there many Dressmann-stores in Finland?
