Rewind - Amir Zakeri Amir Zakeri 2018-06-13 | 22 years ago I was blessed with the gift of life. This journey has been about chasing a passion, building friendships, and trusting my instincts. Creation is a better means of self expression than possession. It is through the process of creating that life feels revealed. Do what you love with meaning and purpose and they will love what you do. Do what you want and say what you feel… because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind!

Assassins Creed, Ninja Turtles, and Ninja Gaiden were the inspirations for this. Who doesn't like ninja's? :)Technical stuff: This was all all shot on my Canon 6D. All of the shots were done with my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens. I use a B+W Polarizer for all my outdoor shots which brings out the colors greatly. This was shot at 1080p @30fps. Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. As far as the smooth camera motion, I use a Glidecam HD 2000.

You can contact/follow the team here!FaceBook: DoDatVuInstagram: DoDatVuEmail: Datvu22@gmail.comAs far as the setting of this video and why I chose violin music, here's why. I want to make videos that people haven't seen before, and with all the breakdancing videos out there, most of them are to hip-hop music (I love hip-hop don't get me wrong), but I wanted to make something unique. That's why I chose Lindsey Stirling, she is a figure that inspires me and makes very abstract violin music. The setting was shot in 3 locations all in Kansas City. Kauffman Performing Arts Center, Nelson Atkins Museum, and Union Station in a random corner with a good spotlight:)Technical stuff: This was all all shot on my Canon 6D. All of the shots were done with my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens on the Glidecam. I use a B+W Polarizer for all my outdoor shots which brings out the colors greatly. This was shot at 720p @ 60fps. I used Compressor 4 with my secret settings to top that off! The smooth, floating-like shots were done with a Glidecam HD 2000. You can learn more about Glidecam's in the link below. They take time to learn, but with practice comes smooth footage! http://glidecam.comFor FREELANCE FILM OPPORTUNITIES, you can contact me at this email. amirzakeri96@gmail.com
Maui - The Valley Isle - Glidecam HD 2000 Amir Zakeri 2014-02-17 | Film and edit by Amir ZakeriMusic was created by my brother Alexander. You can contact him through email here: alexanderzmusic@gmail.comCheck out his SoundCloud! soundcloud.com/alexander-zakeriThis video was truly inspired by Devin Graham's KAUAI video, if you haven't seen that yet, check it out here! youtu.be/uBLccEDmn40I flew down to Maui right after graduation to make a nature video for this amazing island. I had never been to Maui, only Oahu, so the entire island was a mystery. I spent the nights preparing for the next day of where to be at what time, to get the best shot with the best lighting. I was alone most of the time, adventuring by myself. I spent the nights editing my footage just to keep up with the new footage I would get from the next day of filming. If your visiting Maui for the first time hopefully this illustrates the amazing attractions! This is my first YouTube video and I'm very proud of my work. Subscribe to my channel for more Hawaii videos!Technical stuff: This was all all shot on my Canon 6D. Most of the shots were done with the Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens on the Glidecam. Some tripod stills were shot with a 70-200mm 4.0 L Series lens. I tried to always keep a low aperture to keep everything in focus and kept a constant ISO of 100 for almost all the shots. This was shot at 1080p @ 24fps. I used Compressor 4 before exporting out to YouTube.The smooth, floating-like shots were done with a Glidecam HD 2000. You can learn more about Glidecam's in the link below. I've been shooting with Glidecam's only for 6 months, and with practice came smooth footage!http://glidecam.comContact me: amirzakeri96@gmail.com
