Thanks a lot for your comment.
I agree with you, the original video is giving a better sense of Heidelberg as the new version. Anyway, was a good exercise from a technical and practical point of view. I realized that I did not have enough good shoots to make the nicest "one minute version" as possible. And this make the editing tough. So, I learnt more than one thing: always trying different editing and shoot as much as you can...you never know!
Heidelberg in one minute
This was a kind of challenge created by Steve Weiss from the Zacuto USA after he saw my video: "Some shoot for Heidelberg" ( vimeo.com/5328157 ).
Everything started more or less as follows:

I liked it but I would rather see a 1 minute version of this video with just the very best shots you have. That would be hard to edit and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. Great music.

mmmm......interesting challenge. OK, you can do [I was clearly confused ;) ]
Steve Weiss, Zacuto USA
You mean you will try it, not me.

Yes, I obviously made a grammar mistake. Sorry for that. Actually, I've already started to work on it and I am looking forward to reading your comments as soon as the new version will be ready.
So, after that conversation I've decided to create a new version of my video: "Heidelberg in one minute". It was a bit difficult, but I've worked patiently and I did my best.
This is the result. I hope you will enjoy it ; )

Attilio,
I think I was wrong. After watching both versions again, I like your original version better. Sorry to put you through the exercise of editing a 1 minute version but look at what we learned. This is what I love about production, I've been in it for 27 years and learn new things every single shoot & edit.
Part of it is the new music, the original music captures the flavor of Heidelberg better but more then that you have a great flow to your original video.
So in Attilio vs. Steve: Attilio wins
All my best, Steve
