The Faithful Video.
Some friends of mine were producing an Opera/show, I was asked by them to produce a video for the Opera part of the show, they wanted something rough and preferably from the sea, luckily I have a bunch of footage like that. The video was to be projected behind the opera singer, it was quite hard and fun at the same time for me, because they were doing this show in another country then I was in and they didn't have an overall idea of what they wanted, "rough and wild, but slow but it follows the tempo". So I was very free. I got the opera song they were going to sing via a youtube link, the youtube song was from a big concert from a famous German female opera singer (forgot her name) so I had to match the tempo to another Opera.. So I just followed my gut and cut it to the youtube version.. The tempo matched perfectly they said. I never got to the see the show.

This is the rough cut I already have uploaded, the final version is very much similar.. So I don't wanna upload another 5gigs. This was the final Color grading also. The youtube version song is in the video for reference only
Ignore the unfinished black border and quirky fast forwarding in the one scene.
I shot this with a Cinemascope in mind, this was before ML or atleast before I knew of ML, so I had no Cropmarks to follow, I framed by centering everything a bit more.
