On Film and Television

I like that I can watch days of television series and that I can’t spend 90 minutes watching films. Television series are about people, places and situations and the characters are realistic. In contrast films are superficial, shallow and too full of special effects for a story to be told. The cinema loses out because it is too superficial, too pretentious without offering something contrast at the end of the donated time.

This is how edits are meant to be. hundreds of shots, lots of diversity and a good choice of music. You feel that the person shot a lot of material and spent quite a bit of time editing.

Birth of a regulator

Birth of a Regulator - Commercial Film for Apeks from Scarlet View Media on Vimeo.  I was curious to watch part of the process. i am more and more tempted to start diving again but I think without being too technical. I think I need to return to recreational, non challenging dives.

First World War Via Ferrata and the tunnels dug by soldiers.

For two years I have been doing research to find as much information as possible on the topic of via ferrata. Visiting the via ferratas which date back to the 1914-18 war would be interesting. In this short video recording we see some of the tunnels dug in to the mountain as well as where soldiers would have slept. Via ferrata is not just a sport to see nice landscapes. Historic exploration is also possible.

Not everyone is happy living in the real world.
