Is it a man in the shadows or shadows in the man?

I combined 2 of my older videos. Did some editing too (vignetting, blue tint and other stuff), of course!
Just made a longer one because i really like this song.
Composed it some time ago, never finished it though.

I did some testing shoots for the project I try to put together these days. A documentary about Rascism. It will be my first long length video... and it's going to be hard!

Dad. Canon hf 100 test video. Film look from Vasilis Petridis on Vimeo.

That's my father you see on the video. Please excuse his appearance. He prefers to wear nothing but shorts while he stays at the country house.

I used the I.AF canon hf 100 provides. Well that was a few days ago. Now i have learned how to do something like DOF with the manual focus. It is a great little camcorder. I am pleased.
The song is mine. It's called Homogenus. Please visit MySpace Radius Bass, for more songs.

I tried to do some film look scenes afterwards with Sony Vegas. I am still learning since this is my first camera. Thats why its all so shaky. Well also because i was about 5 meters away from the subject and the camera was handheld.
