A Carola L.'s St. Martin's Day

Carola Lohdorfer's legs aren't working so well anymore, however, she can't resist giving the singing children of St. Martin's Day some candy and has arranged a contraption for them while looking at them from her place at the window. (Note: This is not the real Carola Lohdorfer but our duplicate. They look confusingly similar though...)

Our take on the German tradition of Sankt Martin. We had two hidden cameras and one tape recorder running. This is a cut combining video and audio of all three sources and leaving out some longer parts where there was noone within the range of the cameras.

This is EXTREMELY COOL, I like it very much, it inspired me to make something myself.

How do you upload videos in high quality?

Hey, haven't heard from you in a while! Thank you - I've been cutting all day today and yesterday and working on the footage of this year's St.Martin... I guess we're going to be looking at three or four parts this time, I just can't lose too much of it.

High quality happens automatically when your sourcefile is in good quality -that new widescreen-feature seems promising too,I tested it and it now handles real 16:9 mpg-files, so they fixed the issue you had when uploading "Happy New Year" :)

What HAVE you made yourself btw?

[greeneggg]

Basically the shorts that are available here, some of them are only represented in a trailer, however I've never tried anything as experimental as you, this video is really cool - what a great idea! - I've always wanted to make an installation, but you actually combined this installation with a short film and live performance, which is just incredibly cool, totally amazing. Are you the character speaking with the creepy voice?

[Hirnduebel]

No that's not me, I was just controlling the cameras and re-filling tangerines during the action :) This year I had a bit more to do... I am hoping to get the new video ready and up soon. Hopefully you'll apreciate it as much, there was a third camera this time and it was all a bit more...offensive...

The video called just "Caro" is sort of a preview to the new part and was involved itself.

Ich hoffe doch, die Schleckereien waren vergiftet!

[Hirnduebel]

Nein aber die Mandarinen waren verschimmelt

It's from Donnie Darko as well right?

[xmaIdoror]

Das ist ja wohl das mindeste.

I've heard say that on Walpurgis Night, Carola flies over Germany in her satanic wheelchair; but I just dont believe that.
