Music Video Clip | Grungehog

Recently, I edited a video clip featuring a compilation of famous dancing movie scenes set to the music of my grunge cover band, using songs from Nirvana, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, and Pearl Jam. The result was a mesmerizing and energizing combination of iconic visuals and hard-hitting music. The combination of famous dancing movie scenes with the music of my grunge cover band was a fun and exciting experience.

Startrails photography video | How it was done

Personal project
Alejandro Pérez: Photography, video editing, subtitles

Startrail photography assembly of 400 photos using StarStax. The video is a screenrecording while Startax was blending the images in lighten mode (with and without comet-like mode). I have separated the image in two:

  1. The startrail
  2. The motorway and buildings.

I would have obtained an overexposed result of the motorway if I had used all pictures to blend the motorway and the buildings (as I used it to blend the startrails). That’s why I only used 15-20 significant pictures (I chose the ones with the best car light trails) to compose the lower part of the image. Then using a video editing software (like Premiere Pro) to assemble the two parts of the picture and to reverse the shots.

Gear: Canon ESO 5D Mark III + EF 16-35 f/2.8 + Tripod + automated remote control
Software: Starstax, Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro.

Travel Video | Easter Island

A long contemplative video with long sequences that will (I hope) bring you the spirit of this mysterious island. I wanted it to be like if you was just there, watching the landscapes and the famous Moai statues. I traveled there in June 2015.

Music video Clip | The making of swiss band OAXACA

This is a video clip I shooted and edited for the rock power trio OAXACA from Geneva Switzerland. It was a one year effort project, from march 2021 to march 2022. Released on March 25th 2022, it features a character passing away (played by band’s singer Damien Baroni) with key symbolisms: light in the tunnel, drowning.. Black and white to make it timeless and beautiful.

Documentary | “Mon seul problème… c’est la rapidité”

Film: “Mon seul problème… c’est la rapidité” (My only problem … is speed)

The project

I worked with three Bachelors students in social education at the “Haute école de travail social Genève” (HETS). They decided to look at the socio-professional integration of a person with a disability. They wanted to raise, study and observe the themes of integration, autonomy, self-determination and participation of people with disabilities.

A big thank you to our friend Alejandro Pérez for his availability, his help, his listening, his advice, his benevolence, his more than active participation and his patience during the video editing.

– Angela, Camille, Julie

For eight months, the three students and I immersed ourselves in creating an audiovisual record of the professional life a person with a disability, which made it possible to observe his reality in great detail. At the end of this research project, the students were convinced of the importance of accompaniment in the process of professional integration. They were also certain that the environment of the adapted job plays a key role since it allows the social participation of the person.

Short film | Manhattan in black & white

This is my humble tribute to one of my favorite film directors. This short movie was inspired by the famous opening of Woody Allen’s movie ‘Manhattan’ (1979). Filmed with a Canon 5D Mark II, still video frames rendered in black & white at 24 frames per second (except the opening south Manhattan shot which was accelerated 3000% faster), added the two black bars to give the cinemascope look and finally added the original soundtrack with woody’s voice.

Travel video for YouTube | Dubaï

This is a long due video. My trip to Dubaï finally got his own video. I wasn’t very inspired by it, the city is so artificial and nothing really interested me to be honest, no story. So why I went there you may ask? Well, there was several reasons to it but I’m not going to comment on that. Let’s say that I had a very cheap air fare to go. It wasn’t very long, just 2 nights and back to Switzerland. I made this video which is very contemplative and on a point of view mode.
