Amazing Student Video from Egypt Workshop

Home - Craft of the Video Shooter - Amazing Student Video from Egypt Workshop

My recent month-long workshop in Cairo yielded many surprises to say the least, but student filmmaker Karim Soliman’s video SKETCH shot in four hours in the Garbage City section of the city was particularly impressive. The skillful use of close-ups, rigorous control of the frame boundary, and strict adherence to the exclude, exclude, exclude principle produced a truly amazing piece of work. Congratulations to filmmaker Karim Soliman for creating a lasting work of art!

    Beautiful! I haven’t gotten my video camera yet (on back order), but I’m soaking up as much as I can, and this is a wonderful example.

    Thank you Karim Soliman for sharing such an inspiring work of visual story telling art that not only draws my eye in but also touches my heart with the humanity giving hope for us.

    Excellent film vignette. Simple and poignant 
    made captivating by its close shots and keeping the audience questioning what is going on.
