Advice

  • About this video
    This video was inspired by the viral cell phone and popcorn advertising campaign. So I adapted the concept to make it work with Petzl headlamps. Of course, the Petzl lamps don't create microwaves... I spent a several hours erasing the popcorn frame by frame!
  • Use additional lighting on your subject
    Video cameras are not sensitive enough in low light situations, particularly at night. Therefore, be sure to always provide additional lighting on your subject (with another light source). This way you will see more than a white spot on a black background...
  • Don't have editing software?
    Do a "shot/edited"! It is a very old process which involves editing the film directly while shooting. It is a bit more work during the shoot (you need to have the film more or less written before filming), but this process has the advantage of having the film ready to show at the end of the shoot.
  • Don't steal music!
    All music is protected by international copyright. Use Petzl's audio bank when sound editing.

Biography

Guillaume worked on paragliding videos (Redbull Vertigo, Ozone Paragliding, RedBlues, etc) before moving to mountain sports and climbing films. In 2002, while working with the production company 7DOC, he directed the film, "Flying Babouches" which received prizes at several film festivals. Since he started working for Petzl in 2001, Guillaume has directed nearly all the Petzl videos, including "Navalameca70's" (2006), "Outdoorgames" (2008), "Roctrip Millau" (2003-2009) and "Azazel" (2007). With his artistic background and his keen interest in paragliding and climbing, Guillaume brings a unique graphic and esthetic sensibility to his climbing films.
