Sorry no subtitles for the moment , here is the story :

"Mario, who has just been informed by mail that he has lost the custody of his child, irremediably decides to undertake the kidnapping of the latter. He calls on a contact from the Caucasus who he knows for his military history to successfuly carry out the plan. He equally enlists another contact to help him, not forgetting to bribe the young "au pair", Paola, who minds his little daughter. The child currently lives with her mother, his ex-wife, who remarried to an ambitious politician some years before. They do not know each other, come from different places, and do not speak the same language. Azad from the Caucasus, Paola from Mexico, and Hanz, are the three individuals enlisted by Mario to carry out the plan. Simultaneously, an investigation is being led by the superintendent Gerard Thierry, a policeman with a disillusioned yet inquisitive air, who assumes his duties with eloquence."

EXCELLENT!!!

Very nicely done; fantastic variety of locations, looks, and feel. I can imagine this will be one helluva good thing once completed!

"ça fait dix!" :)

If I'd have ONE suggestion/critique it would be this (but really, you're on to a great thing, so you can take this as nitpicking):
I realize this is NOT a final edit, and is just a demo-reel, but from what I am seeing you might be running into a fairly common editing problem; I am assuming here that it is you (or your brother) who is doing the editing? If yes, then PLEASE let someone else have a go at it too. You seem to include a couple of shots that, although they look STUNNING, they are superfluous to telling the story. Since you have so much good looking footage, you might run the danger of including too many angles/shots of the same thing, then running the danger of becoming redundent/boring. This will be a relatively easy task for an editor who is removed from the production, but VERY hard for you or the director, because you think the shot looks SOOOO great, it has to be in there. Now, like I mentioned, don't get me wrong, you have stunning footage, and most of it is very well suited, but there's a couple of things in there that I think should be left out, or more precisely: edited simpler.
Sometimes less is more!

Hope this makes sense, GREAT job!! Please let us know, once finished!!

Oh, and you might want to let everyone know upfront about the NUDITY in this clip.
It won't bother most, but some might be offended.

thanks a lot for watching ! don't worry i understand it very well :)

well this has been done for a producer just for demo, it is not a trailer of the movie

it does not introduce the story at all :)

i did not have time to do a trailer even if the movie is finished editing since june because i had to deal with (voice) mixing

i hope everyone understood that it is french they are talking :) (but there's also some spanish and some armenian ...)

sorry for my english skills ... :embarasse

thanks,

what does OMG means ?

in the white room, the guy explains the man he's working for that he's got all information necessary to proceed to kidnapping of the young girl (to hard to explain in english, i'll make my brother translating the story for you :) )

i understand, i'll do it right now !

sorry it is our french culture to show everything without any "tabou" (taboo in english ? i don't know if it make sense)
 
OMG = "Oh My God" (it means: WOW!!!!!!!!)


Understood about the reel being for the producer, and the story not being included; cool that you know what I meant. It does look great; good stuff!
 
Looks spectacular! I'm amazed at the quality that the DVX can produce in the right hands. Let us know when the film is finished, and where we can see it.

And, also, a little nudity never hurt anyone... ;)

nudity ? i'm there...

but seriously it looked really good, now we need some subtitles :D
 
Thanks everyone for watching ! I appreciate it so much :)

Well, I guess only PaPa understood what is the demo about as he speaks french :D

C'est pas ta faute si tu parles français :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

I have not worked on subtitles but i will do it ! I must call a friend that speaks better english than mine !

Someone asked me about what i use besides the DVX100 :

- No lens adaptater, just a DVX100AE
- One fs pro stabiliser (http://www.fsprostabilisateur.com/temoignages/temoignages.htm look at the first image it's me !!) as a steadicam
- One mini crane (proam dv 200 i think) for some shoots

Here is some pics of the making off, you'll see my setup which is very basic ...
