Well... I hired a producer, wrote 10 songs, hired a director, filmed 3 music videos and worked harder than I had at any software startup in my life (platform/devops) trying to make it work. Serious long shot, but it's been a ton of fun!

Edit: my last video won "Music Video of the Year" at the Oxford International Film Festival. So here's hoping!

You're being polite by not linking, and I appreciate that. However, it's truly good and I think other people will want to give it a watch.

How did you get the youtube video from his profile? I looked through and couldn't find a way to correlate the two as we don't know what year he won.

..."Music Video of the Year" at the Oxford International Film Festival...

So the oxford international film festival has only had one music video of the year ever? As I said we don't know what year he won.

Well he said "My last video" so we can infer that it was very probably either this year or in the last two years, which makes the search way easier

Yes I presume it was almost surely the last two years (this year or the past two years). The commenter replied and said he read the parent's comments to find the soundcloud account and linked that with the poster of the youtube video.

It was this years awards. http://www.oxiff.com/awards/

I just assumed it was this year, and then I noticed he linked to (presumably) his SoundCloud account in another HN comment[1], which I used as (good enough) confirmation that I had found the right video.

Good amount of research there. :D

Holy shit, this is actually really good. Was surprised.

Thanks!

Thank you for sleuthing it out :)

Fantastic work!

I'm into photography as a hobby since 10 years. I started movie making this year, it's harder than I thought to make everything right. The post production work is also more challenging than for still photography.

I would be interested if you had any good links to get started and progress? What camera did you use? I'm making a movie about some cities, but it's taking more time than I expected, for something far from the quality I had in mind :-)

Wow, your music is great!

David Brent?
