30th Anniversary of the Twinning between Marchena and the French city of Châteaudun

A little help wouldn’t hurt either. I have to do it all by myself and I can’t.

Now that the second video of the Marchena 2023 fair is almost ready to publish, I would like to clarify some things.

The first thing is that I am not going to publish the photos here on the website until I have published the third video on YouTube, so as not to “spoil” any surprises ahead of time.

The second thing is that I do all of this by myself. I don’t have any team of people by my side, no assistants or anything. And I do everything with a very small budget. My camera is a Canon DSLR, yes, but a very cheap, beginner’s model. If it looks so good and so professional it is because I know how to get the most out of it due to my many years of experience taking photos. However, I only started making videos a year ago, during Easter 2022. Many problems with my videos are due to my lack of experience and others are due to using a cheap camera. Problems with focus, with sometimes everything looking TOO close, and above all, problems with STABILIZATION, or rather, the lack of it. Because my camera does not have a stabilizer, and I have to use an option in the video editor on the computer to stabilize by software, but it is super slow and makes a lot of mistakes, it makes strange movements, as you can see in the videos. To avoid having this problem I need a 4,000 euro camera (Canon R5), which would also solve the problems of blurring and everything being seen too close.

Another thing is that the videos take me forever to make. Apart from the fact that it is a laborious job in itself, the computer takes a long time processing. And between the analysis of the stabilization, the export, the reconversion to 4K, and the upload to YouTube, hours and hours are spent. I have a 2011 Mac Mini that is already asking for retirement.

Since I have to add a photo to the publication, I’m posting a preview of one of the photos from the fair. The one on the right is my cousin Teresa.

A few years ago, and with hardly anyone noticing due to the required confidentiality, an entire filming set was installed right on the esplanade of the Church of Santa María de la Mota in Marchena. It was November 18, 2019, when Giorgio Armani had chosen Marchena as the ideal location to film part of the campaign for his new perfume “My Way.” The actress Adria Arjona, known for series such as Andor (from the Star Wars universe), True Detective, Person of Interest and Blood Omen, among others, stars in this advertisement in which she travels the world through countries that represent the essence of the perfume. And one of the ingredients is, in fact, orange blossom.
