Mini-films for mobile phones:
Mobile phones have digital screens to broadcast images and videos. These screens are not that much different than TV screens or theatre screens inasmuch so as they can now channel and display some animated contents. With media convergence and the digital revolution that is taking place, mobile phones and their screens, though small, are becoming new additional ways of consuming images and videos for a whole new generation of nomadic mobile users. As a result, the market for mobile-oriented videos will soon be booming. Also, with the advent of the next-gen multimedia mobile phones and higher broadband width, mobile users will rapidly expect much higher quality videos to watch on their mobiles. To answer their demand, mobile phone operators will have to produce their own dedicated contents or make it produced by third party companies. A gigantic market will emerge. Producing and making high quality videos for mobile phones will become the new eldorado, a real challenge that will require new creative ideas for exploiting the media and inventing new video contents that are really specific to mobiles.
As a visual artist and a movie director, this challenge stimulates me a lot, creatively speaking, and I'm currently working on several new concepts of 'mini-films', specially made to be viewed on the small screen of most multimedia mobiles. What I'm looking for is to invent a new type of film, hybrid, that can tell a real story with a real plot and narrative structure in a very short time (30 sec to 3 minutes max.). The same way that there are films for the big screen and films for TV, I totally believe that there may also be existing 'films for mobiles', 'mini-films' for 'mini-screens' that can also give real emotions and unique sensations. I'm currently exploring passionately in that direction. If the results are satisfying enough, I will show you my own mini-films for mobiles on the "videos" of this website (to download freely and watch on your computer or on your mobile).
If you want to be part of my experiments and act on my mini-films for mobiles, please don't hesitate to contact me. It could be great fun!

Experimental Videos:4)
By spending time working on experimental videos, I'm testing and exploring the limits of cinema and audiovisual media. Without restricting myself, I can experiment many new ideas, rather daring and radical, that can find their way to the big screen later on.
Among many other personal experiments, I have developed the concept of "Video-sampling©" which consists in a kind of split-screen (but not exactly), a mix of independent moving and still images of all sorts, each accompanied by their own soundtrack, that are played simultaneously in their own screens, themselves inserted on a larger video monitor or computer screen. Viewed together in this configuration, mixed images can provoke new emotions, often based on unexpected association of contradictory images. As an important aspect of "Video-sampling©", the viewer is not passive, it's him who regulates the flow of images and sounds on each separated screen, put side by side. At any time during the viewing, he can stop, rewind, fast forward images or cut off sound and music of any inserted screen of his choice. To make this possible, "Video-sampling©" requires that the control panel of each screen is kept visible during all the viewing process so that the viewer can freely interact with each screen anytime he wants to. With this interactive process at work, the viewer become the main creator of what he is perceiving on each respective screens put side by side and on the computer screen at large. Every viewing is therefore totally unique. That's the main reason why "Video-sampling©" can quickly become very interesting and captivating. Each experience is completely unique.
I will show you soon some examples of "Video-sampling©" for you to try and check it out by yourself. My experimental "sampled-videos" will be made available to download freely from the "videos" section of this website. I invite you to come again in a couple of weeks.
"In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion of one sound recording, the sample, and reusing it as an instrument or element of a new recording. This is typically done with a sampler, which can be a piece of hardware or a computer program on a digital computer. Sampling is also possible with tape loops or with vinyl records on a phonograph. Often "samples" consist of one part of a song, such as a break, used in another, for instance the use of the drum introduction from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" in songs by the Beastie Boys, Mike Oldfield and Erasure, and the guitar riffs from Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" in Tone-Loc's "Funky Cold Medina". "Samples" in this sense occur often in hip hop and R&B, but are becoming more common in other music, as well."
"Video-sampling©" follows the same principle, taking portions of films, videos or photos (any audiovisual material) and reusing them as component elements of a new rearranged film or video, composed of several screens put side by side in a certain configuration. As in music, "Video-sampling©" can use existing material, extracted from famous films, photos or paintings, mixed with chosen music and sounds, or use fresh material of our own. For copyright issues, it is obviously easier to use parts of videos and films of our own making; it also produces a more personal result.
If you try "Video-sampling©" on your side, please send me your videos or web links so that I can enjoy your works.
