Recovered video: “Greetings”
originally uploaded to Vimeo on October 25th, 2006
Some found postcards showing bits of someone’s family life, affections and acquaintances.
This feels like watching someone else living his/her own life.
Please note: the spoken words read the original texts found on the postcards, with a heavy Chinese accent. Written words are the English translations.
I wish dedicate this to a dear friend who last night suffered a deep loss.
A short video I made from an idea I had with my friend/then colleague Marco Biondi using some found postcards thrown away but somehow escaped from destruction.
This is by far yet my favourite short video.
Thanks to my friend Shu-Chun for her endless patience - the Italian voiceover was not easy for her but eventually I succeeded in editing the way I wanted it.

Recovered shots are a selection of materials I previously posted on the web that I consider worth of further exposure.
While the first part of my new short film is being edited, and I can’t wait to see what our editor comes up with; while yet loads of shooting have to take place for the next epsiode, and I can’t wait to put my next actor in front of the camera…
This tiny pill depicts one very bright moment of my personal life.
Taken and edited with my iPhone4.

The last fine day of the season
First experiment of video totally done on an iPhone 4.
Take it as a little tiny bit of a memory and nothing else; it was a rather lovely day for us.
