Hi

The reason why I had three minutes being quite short was, not just of being used to video, but after seeing the film Soy Cuba (I AM CUBA) where they did a magnificant shot going through a scene of bourgeios people and then dipping down to a pool. I imagine they used 35mm and aren't planning to ...
