Brooks England saddle

I've been fascinated by Brooks saddles for a while now, I love their look, versatility and I appreciate the fact that this is a rare example of a current product using a century old design, and yet they are very popular. So many technologies are almost obsolete the minute they hit the market because the mark 3000 is coming in 2 months. I was offered the B67 which was originally designed in 1927, very small revisions were made since, how amazing is that ? 
Anyway, before my bottom puts its imprint on it, I wanted to honour my Elinchrom lights with this piece of art !

Rigo and Pascal

Is it just me, or guys are less self conscious in front of the camera ? 

Two very different men, two fun shoots with very different styles !

You can click on the collages to see them a lil' bit bigger.

Baguette, anyone ?

New homepage promo video with After Effects

Start of the year is usually the time where I sit down and have a look at improving or updating my website. That gave me a great excuse to redo my intro video compiling all I have to offer, as my first project on After Effects which I recently learnt to use. I normally use Final Cut Pro but I loved the way AE allowed me to tweak my comp at anytime, change any properties of each layer in a much much faster way than in FCP. It's also a huge resource of presets, effects and all. 

Check out Video Copilot, it's a fantastic place to get started on AE. Andrew, who presents the tutorials, is so passionate and creative, it's quite contagious, I might start special effects stuff myself soon !

Here's my comp anyway, you're most welcome to give me your suggestions. I think there's a big improvement compared to the one I had, I went quite easy on the effects and tried to give it an upbeat tempo.
