exceptional photography. i found it emotional and appropriately intimate to match the song.

my *only* complaint it that it seemed to take forever for the video to start. for the internet world i personally would shorten the intro/text and just get to the video sooner. had i not been specifically looking because of this thread i probably would have gotten impatient and left. would have been a shame too because it is a very fine piece of work.

did you use a DOF adaptor for some of this? what process did you go to get the B&W?

this is a strong piece of video, congratulations!

Thank you David!

No DOF was used - only stock EX1. I own the Brevis with different diffusers, but it can be a hassle, and I really like the sharpness of the stock lens.

I played around with different profiles, but ended up shooting in color actually.

Cheers,

Christian.

I really like the shot near the start with a bird's eye view of the girl. Nice video.
