One of the most iconic first videos
As years went by, the quality of camera equipment improved drastically. Things you can do today weren’t simply possible 20 years ago, at least not with limited budget.
The first long video I’ve created with Kathrin in 2007 was filmed with a fairly pricey Panasonic DV camera and I’ve published it as a DVD for shipping and a (really bad quality) wmv-file for download. Most of the users hadn’t fast internet connections back in the days to download large video files.
That’s said, when I started fussphantasie 2.0 I’ve dropped many of the old clips simply because of the quality. In the last years many have asked for Smells Like Feet Spirit but yeah, I didn’t want to provide the old wmv-file anymore, it was just too bad.
But here’s the catch: I found all the original material on DV tape! I wasn’t aware of that, because at that time the cassettes were pricey and I have used them more than once. So I thought the clips were already overwritten. Not this one
I’ve completely remastered this video and tried to get the best quality out of the source material. DV tapes weren’t ready for real HD, so the clips are in old 4:3 format with a maximum resolution of 768×576 pixel, the PAL standard at that time. At least a few more lines than NTSC.
The story line of Smells Like Feet Spirit is quite simple:
Kathrin and I met at my home in order to plan a new photo shooting. We were drinking coffee (with milk, an inside joke) and talked about our stressful day. Soon the topic changed and Kathrin mentioned her sweaty and dirty socks which she was wearing for a few days already.
One thing came to another and suddenly I found me lying under a green chair with Kathrin’s socks and feet all over my face and in my mouth.
This clip is 43 minutes long, full of dirty and sweaty joy. German language only, so be prepared.
As fussphantasie has its 20th anniversary, you can download this clip for free until the end of this winter! Enjoy mates and thank you all for your support
