Swoon Over The Masterful Photography And Video Editing In The Short Film “Watchtower Of Turkey”

Equipped with a Panasonic GH3 and a GoPro 3, director and photographer, Leonardo Dalessandri spent 20 days exploring Turkey, travelling over 3500 km and documenting his experience along the way. The result is this incredible 3 1/2 minute long perspective of Turkey that handily trumps the stock footage travel videos that are oh-so-common these days.

Aspiring filmmakers should be taking a few notes as Dalessandri demonstrates his editing skills and post production prowess. Not to mention the wickedly brilliant sound design that went in to the short film with a little help via contributions from musician Ludovico Einaudi, and voice over actress, Meryem Aboulouafa. Watchtower Of Turkey is definately one you don’t want to miss!

“I’ve tried to make my own gift from this place, and create my own postcard in movement by filming the best moments, the magnificent people I met, and the most intense feelings I lived while there.”

Speechless. If you’d like to see more from Dalessandri, you can see Watchtower Of Morocco, here.
