This is my last video about Torino, Italy, my Hometown, an homage for its incredible but less known beauty. Made all with photos, 3D CG renderings, VFX and famous impressionist and surrealist paintings, which I love. All edited in HD with Vegas, of course, no need to say. Hope you will like it.

Bye.

Very well edited Photo Montage. Very nice town too. I missed it in my Jan Italy tour.

And here I thought that it was a homage to Clint Eastwood [who was absolutely great in the movie, Dirty Harry, the retirement years].

Nice work. What did you use for the transitions between painting around 6:35, I liked that effect.

Very good quality work.

Where in Italy is Torino relative to Rome?

Torino is in the northern-west part of Italy, close to France and Switzerland. As I said, it's a wonderful-but-almost-unknown-abroad city. It has very nice to see buildings, an amazing historical centre, several museums, a rich cultural life, important university, as well as factories and offices. It was the first italian capital, long before Rome, when Italy was still a kingdom, not yet a democracy. Here sat the first italian Parliament, and here later was born the national radio and television company, the italian movie industry, the biggest car factories.

I just wanted to pay homage to this worthwhile city.

Bye.

I used NewBlue Twirl, an effect coming from

www.newbluefx.com

In particular from the "MotionBlends" collection, on page

which is pretty good. Another VERY GOOD plug-in I suggest you is Velvetmatter Radiance:

by which you can obtain a superb quality and look, maybe the best I know for Vegas.

Must be because it's shrouded in mystery.
