George Horne's videos
As part of my job I get to meet some amazing people, it's one of the best things about doing what I do.

On January the 21st 2011 I was lucky enough to talk with Jenny Crisp, a woman who tragically lost her fiancé in a car accident in 2006.

This documentary covers the incident, but also how over the following years Jenny dealt with her loss by going to Africa and working with children at a creche.

...

This is an extract from a larger documentary, commissioned by awakeltd.info.

The full documentary also features interviews from subjects such as Seb Schmollar, an activist and ambassador for sleep apnoea, and 'Road Safety Parliamentarian of the year 2009', MP Meg Munn.

    What a brave woman. So sorry to hear about her loss. Wonderful therapy to go to Africa and help there. She has my respect. Well filmed as well.

    Very interesting and warming to see such a brave woman... Too bad that the spinning groundglass is visible in most of the shoots with the pulsing and flickering, it takes away the focus from what she's talking about.

    Yup, it's a bit distracting. I'm still learning the pitfalls for the SG Blade...I'm almost there.

    Yea, but probably most of the people won't even notice =)!
    A tip is to just have it at max, but most times just turn the knob so the white marker points right at you behind the camera (about 75 % of the speed) that is enough most of the times. Set it at max when shooting above f4 or higher shutter speed.

    I didn't notice on my first view. Thanks for pointing it out, Admir.

    Well paced and a moving story. I think Jenny's appeal directly to the camera works better because she doesn't look into the camera in the first half
  • George Horne 8 months ago
    Thanks Christian!

    Agreed, for the first part she was talking to me, as I was sitting off camera with the camera locked off on a tripod.

    With the appeal she managed to speak directly to the lens (not easy) and it came across a long stronger.

    Excellent video. Thanks for posting this. FWIW, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about a year ago. The treatment is fairly simple and has made a big difference in my life.

    The intercuts are put just in right places (paced with the story and music) - was pleasant to watch. The only thing I did not like is the time-after-time appearing text with information, as I enjoyed visuals more and did not want it to be interrupted. Great.

    George, how do you do this flickering effect (at the end, after Jenny's last words - 02:43)?
  •  
  • George Horne 3 months ago
    I did that all in camera using my lens adaptor. When you remove a lens from the adaptor whilst the camera is running and the glass is still spinning you can this strange flickering effect.

    I recorded the effect and overlaid it on top of my footage.
