Aerial Short Films: ‘Mountains Song’

Video Leave a comment

Mountains Song – is my latest short drone film. In this film the main subject are mountains of all sizes tall and short, with clouds and fog as a complimentary. I also wanted to experiment a bit with a post production and grading. I was inspired by Ansel Adams black and white contrasty landscape photos and wanted to create similar imagery, but with in a video. To my big surprise I found almost no b&w drone films, so I wanted to fix tat.

The subdued atmospheric sound from Ryan Taubet in my opinion compliments the airy scenery.

Audio Leave a comment

Missile strikes on the port of Odessa have dimmed hopes for a UN-brokered deal to get Ukraine’s grain on the move.

We ask what chances it may still have. Tunisia’s constitutional referendum looks destined to formalise a march back to the autocratic rule it shook off during the Arab Spring. And how Formula 1 is looking to crack America.

Lakeside Village Walks: Morcote, Switzerland (4K)

Leave a comment

The former fishing village of Morcote is situated on the shore of Lake Lugano and is undoubtedly one of the most frequently photographed places in Ticino. It was not without just cause that picturesque Morcote was voted Switzerland’s most beautiful village in 2016.

The overall appearance of Morcote is characterised by its division into two parts: a secular part on the Lake and an ecclesiastical part on the slope. Both parts have their own characteristic buildings.

The bank of the lake is lined with numerous imposing buildings such as Palazzo Paleari, as well as a number of simple buildings. The row of houses by the lake, with their magnificent arcades, is one of the most distinctive features of Morcote and characterises the view of the village from the lake in particular. Just behind these, the winding, cobbled laneways of the village centre unfold. Even today, these still clearly reveal its mediaeval origins.
