It was a great pleasure, challenge and experience for me to work with such inspiring director as you, Damian, and with this script. Thank you for allowing me to be part of it!
¡vaya duo con Patryk!!.¡no comprendo despues de ver este video que no le dieran la candidatura a las palmas!!
It did not depend only on the film. That was a competition for the city, the film could only support it. But we did our best!
It was a pleasure for me , to put my music on these amazing pictures .
Patryk´s photography was inspiring, and poetic.
The concept was elegant and innovative , thanks Damian.
It was a really pleasure for me work with you Patryk and David.You both are great profesional and the best was the chemistry between us. I will love to continue work with you guys in a new challenge.
After take a break a little ;)
Damian and Patryk and all who collaberated with you that is as true a masterpiece as any Picaso or Rembrandt. Thank You
And I beleive Las Palmas will be on my destination list for 2016! If I can wait that long.
Thanks very much John in the name of all the team. Everybody give all their best.
Don´t wait that long come to Las Palmas and enjoy the best climate of the word.
One person of the jury ask for a copie of the film in English
A true masterpiece! Congratulations to all who worked on this.
Awesome! Not an huge fan of HDR, but the first half was superb.
Thanks Sebastian, I would love to do it as the begining becasuse it is my favourite part too but I had to present more the city.
Great feel all around. Visually stunning and the music was captivating. Good pace as well. Well done to you Damián and your crew. Congrats!
Thanks Ikaika in the way i`m concerned....And thanks for your delicated , emotiving piece "Light the Way".
Thanks Ikaika ! I apreciate it.
pd- I agree David,beautifull ¨Light the way¨.
This is one of the most incredibly beautiful things I've ever seen. Great work. The narration + images are superb, this has a strong emotional impact on the viewer.
Added to every channel I could think of.. at least 7 channels, including my own http://vimeo.com/channels/hdnatureshorts
Thanks Daniel! I am very glad you like it. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep in touch man!
Love this! I was thinking it looked like some of Patryk's work. Imagine my surprise to see the dp was none other! Beautiful concept Damian, superb work as always Patryk. Hearts to both of you.
Thanks Kimberly! yes work with Patryk was very nice and we work very well toghether, good chemistry.
Thanks Marlon! I apreciate it.
I like very much your film ¨The Bridge¨
Yes, it is right now because we won´t the capital of culture. But we were on the first ones.
Amazing work Damián, it's totally captivating and visually outstanding, the narration is very nice, congrats :)
Wow, that was incredible! Loved it!
How did you do that dolly move in the end?
Did you pull focus on that shot or was it done at a small aperture?
Very nice guys. Very enjoyable to watch. Loved the HDR. @ Patrick, have you tried SNS Pro for your HDR processing yet? With it I no longer get that flicker or pulsating that you are experiencing in some of your shots.
Thanks Scott! Yes I also love this shot , at the end the dolly is a motion control Dito gear and the very last it is a postpo.
it done at small aperture. thanks
Thanks very much Dustin! I didn´t know about it I have to check it.
@ Dustin: No, I haven't. Need to try. Recently been playing a lot with LRTimelapse. A great aid for post workflow.
This video simply rocks!
It's been featured as "Video of the day" on Time Lapse Italia community:

Thank you Olaf! I am glad you like it. And Thanks for post it in Low-Light /- Nightshots and also in Public Art. ;)
Thanks you Patryk! for me was also a pleasure working with you. But the next will be more and more relax ;)
I love each pixel of it and same do i the idea and the spirit behind the pictures. Splendid and titanic work, Damian! Sort of one can be proud of. I wish it shall work out its mission!
Btw, is there any "behind the scenes" video or notes/blog about it all, if you'd be so kind to share?
I am glad you like it Keerah...yes it was too hard. I haven´t behind of scenes because we were short on time and I was concetrate to finish it on time. It is pity.
You can share the link if you wanted
But you surely remember all those troubles you had on the way, so you could write a post about it :) Or you could just take a microphone and record your notes as a dubbed audio version while the movie is playing :)) (just an idea :)
Lo había visto Damián, y pensaba que lo había comentado y como no, había pulsado el botón de "Like".
Bueno lo hago ahora, espectacular.
Un saludo.
Gracias Rafael! suerte con tu proyecto, la verdad es que me encanta la idea. Espero que consigas financiación y puedas hacerlo incluso para toda España.
Un saludo
6:13, I see the second DitoGear on stage... This has inspired me, thanks mate, very good.

If you want you can share it to you people.
Lo he vuelto a ver y me ha parecido aún más impresionante. Enhorabuena.
Muy bueno Damián, si señor. Soy Dani, el amigo de tu prima Pili...
Mándame tu dirección y ya te pediré algún consejo...

Un placer: Dani

I have just seen the efects you are doing with impresionist, it is very interesting.
Thanks very much for add the video in your the Film artist´s top 30. It is an honor.
That was just awesome! Goosebumps! This art was also rich in variety.

No problems at all regarding the making of.
Thanks in the name of all the team Christopher! you can share it if you want. I really like your shortfilm Pothound beautiful image and it had to be a lot of work with the dog. Did you animated the secuence of the fight?
Yes I did. I put it up on the Staff Picks Shout Box, it deserves to be up there.
Great, I love it. So check this www.animayo.com we will talk soon.
That was amazing!! Not to long ago I was wondering if anyone would every make an HDR film and if I could make a video in HDR. I realized that it would be too much work. But you have something so pleasing to the eye that didn't seem possible to achieve.
Thanks Phillip, yes it was a lot of work but everything is posible, you only have to be devote to you work.
I see you like also stop motion see that http://vimeo.com/18119079
WOW, I enjoyed every second of this painting, it's true ART piece!
Stunning images, and a compelling edit - an interesting evolution of storytelling, I'd love to see more actually - any plans for future work along these lines?
I wonder how far this could be pushed...
No limits man. Actually we're planning on working together in the near future with Damian.
just this moment had the time to experience this piece: outstanding! You and your team deserve great projects like this; I wish you the very best.
Wow, what great video, looks like a lot of hard work, but It has definitely payed off, I love the shot at the 2 minutes 17 seconds mark, such amazing processing
