When you say real story, does it have to be true story (like a documentary)? Or can it be narrative fiction?

Here's my entry. Shot in India on a Hacked GH2 with old Nikkor primes, slight movement on one shot with Flycam Nano DSLR. Storyline is based around two underprivileged children trying to loot kites and partake in an indian kite festival called shakrain.

I just uploaded it to Vimeo and put a link here. Is that the correct procedure? Thanks.

Good thing I actually produced two movies in November then ;) First one is a fish festival in early november (they put fish in cans for 3 months and then eat it...). 25000 show up for a weekend festival. The second is ligting the candles of the Christmas tree in my local village. A very nice tradition and probably funny language for most of you here ;)

Here is My entry.... filmed on GH2

Here is my brand new short film premiering for the Personal View FOTGA Video Contest. Shot on Hacked GH2 (Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Lens, SLR Magic Cine 12mm t1.6) , Nokia N9, Sony HX100V camera.

Talent is my newly born Nephew. (He has been too patient with his uncle already). :)

Wanted to experiment with POV's,HDR effect (as explained on vimeo forums for GH2 of making multiple layers on the edit), color to monochrome transitions as a part of the narrative and some symbolic deep meanings which i wanted to communicate via the film. I think i have tried my best to communicate it in the most interesting and fresh approach as possible with the resources at hand.

Music is by my close associate Joy and some sequences have been done by London based Visual artist Jane Webb. VO is by professional Bollywood actor from India Kaliprasad Mukherjee.

(*PANEL please note there are 3 dogs shown at 0:41)

Thank you Personal view, Fotga and Vitaliy for this opportunity to us.

My entry! Filmed on Nikon D800

Hi guys, here is my entry. I've shot it in September but edited only in December, so, technically it should match the contest conditions. Sorry, it is in Russian, but Vitaliy should understand it :) It is a story about us floating on kayaks down the river.

My second entry, shot at the end of September and edited and published in December. Another way of understanding sports. Hope you like it!

Hi, we shoot this in august'14, but finished production on 1st of december.

This not a story, told regular way, with narration, but this is attempt to communicate on another level.

*(I used GH2 and extremely cheap lenses - 25$ cctv 35mm and body cap-pancake lens - 30$, 15mm, so image is not perfect or even sharp sometimes)

Well this escalated quickly! :)

Here is my entry. A short video clip where I had to re-Cycle some of my old footage, captured in July 2014 finished in December. This is a loop / routine / cycle of a person from our society. It's so easy to do nothing .... but our routine ! Be different , be creative, do something..... don't fall into a monotonous routine.
