POV around the world First of all, what does POV mean? The term "Point of View" describes first person video, stories or games. For a few month now I tried to create interesting POV videos by 'simply' cutting short video sequences together to make it looks like one fluent movement. Since I train Parkour, it was reasonable to create POV Parkour videos. Here you can see some of my latest work: Short Example (For Instagram) Long Example (For Youtube) - Product will be longer But then I got an idea: What if I cut together different persons in different areas around the world? At first people would not notice because they can't see the performer. The movement will be seen as one long run, all over the world with various styles and techniques! And that is where you can take part. If you like this idea, you can send me your POV video clips and I will collect them and try to create a video. BUT your video needs to - In the best case use a mouth mount, but a head - or chest mount will do similar results - It has to be a Parkour/ Freerunning Video. I have never filmed Tricking or Breakdancing, but if it looks good in first person, you can send these too! -> If you have interesting non Parkour POV clips I can try to bring them in. That could mean driving a scooter, cooking food in an exotic surrounding - If you have fillers, for example a normal shot of the surroundings or a shot of a scene (someone cooking, sunrise, birds flying ) = clips you see in travel videos - send them with the POV footage! - Movements at the beginning and the end of the video clips! This is the most important! You need to start your run with an extra movement to make it possible to connect the clips. I mostly use rolls or precisions with my hands on the ground (check this in the videos) since I can do that on flat earth. Kongs, Drops and normal jumps are easy to edit too, but may not be possible everywhere. You could move your head too, maybe look straight into the sky and looks fast down. Try to keep the beginning basic so I can use as much clips as possible. If you think that the beginning or end NEEDS to be this or that movement just do it, I will try my best. What am I going to do with given clips? I will try to create an awesome video for sure! BUT I am just a human beeing, learning and loving. So it might not turn out how you imagined it to be - but if the number of people taking part stays small I can show you wip worl I will create one long version for youtube and similar shorter ones for instagram. I will give credits by adding your links, names and social media in the describtion and/or tag you in the video. If you took part in the video, I will send you the movies too so you can upload them aswell if you give credit. If you are sending a clip, please write a short sentence in your email that you loose the right on this footage and that it can be uploaded on the internet. Otherwise I can't accept it. Still interested? send the footage (youtube link or drop box) of your high quality footage to ikarus.pictures.offical@gmail.com If you have any feedback, I would love to hear it below this post ~IkarusPictures (well I'm named Gurkour since I can't change my name so yeah)
