stewsmith 14 Posted November 1, 2010 As this 5 minute show reel has been talked about on the " An amazing evening with " topic, I thought it might be good to post a link to Leandro's youtube version. I am sure he wouldnt mind. Stew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loftus 41 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Embedded: Would love to see this on the big screen, paying homage to that mad genius. I never appreciated how the scale adds to the appreciation of Dali until I went to the Dali museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Only problem, there's not enough sexual psychosis to make it authentic.

DeanB 19 Posted November 4, 2010 He is so unique and a creative genius! Nice ... Unique? Maybe for underwater however this style of editing has been around for quite sometime Dive safe DeanB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Douglas 16 Posted November 6, 2010 Hey Dean, It has? I haven't seen a single uw video from any entries to the SDUFEX show or any of the competitions I have judged. For me, it is not so much the effects that he creates, as they can easily be duplicated by an experienced editor. For me, it is always that 'Why didn't I think of that?" which comes to mind when I see any of his films. The reason for that is that Leandro simply has the greater vision in addition to his skills as an editor and musician. He also has the perfect narrational voice which can't be duplicated. It's like a Jimi Hendrix tune, yeah a good guitarist can copy what Jimi played, but it was Jimi who created it and not the person who copies. Would love to see some examples of others doing this kind of work, maybe, somehow, that creative 'something' will sink into my brain. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve As I said for underwater it probably is unique who knows I don't watch that many underwater films as I used to anymore? I've seen editing like this before loads of times isn't the start of the 'outer limits' series similar ??? I'm taking away any kudo's or dissing Leandro's work (just incase people think I am) as I do think the man's a genius and I do love the film, it's just the editing technique, for me, is not unique in filmmaking as a whole. Maybe I'm just a lover of the old school way of shooting wildlife films and not totally keen on the 'MTV' style 'fast and busy' editing.

Steve Douglas 16 Posted November 6, 2010 No eggshells here; that's what honest discussion is all about and how we learn, and, yes, now that you mention it, the openings for the Twilight Zone(not sure on the Outer Limits, used many of the same techniques.

DeanB 19 Posted November 6, 2010 now that you mention it, the openings for the Twilight Zone(not sure on the Outer Limits, used many of the same techniques.Steve There have been a few films, music videos etc out there that have used the same editing style... No eggshells here; that's what honest discussion is all about and how we learn,Steve Not you personally bud there are elements out there that cannot take even the smallest critique of their heroes, friends, benefactors ... At the end of the day we are all human and make mistakes... Cripes! You should see my Pike film Dive safe DeanB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
