Bravo!! ...This is some great work, and great camera work, I must say Omar has used some very simple techniques and transformed them into something extremely profound.
We must have more of the same type of abstract natured videos with hidden messages.
Loved it.

Thanks! ...Thanks OC for putting it up! And thanks for the positive comments! It was filmed entirely on a Nokia N95 for a mobile filming project. It's also been submitted to the Disposable Film Festival.
I made the soundtrack on a Mac.

OmarioK ...OmarioK - how about giving us the "directors vision" or something like that!
I'm sure we all interpreted it in a different way...what were you trying to convey?
adey said
Now only joking, ...but I preferred 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' :)
No really - any attempt at visual art is most welcome in this country.
Well done.

ahhh.. i ain't gettin' it... ...ahhh..
i ain't gettin' it...
Ahmed Alhawas said
Ezdan Tower ? ...I remember once when i staid in Movenpick Tower i saw an advertising about a hotel from 4 buildings and has apartments to rent monthly and i remember it was a good offer, and then i forgot its name and wanted to rent there cause i will be soon in Doha for long term.
when i saw the video i think it was the same place i saw in the video.
and i hope its the same place am talking about.
thx a lot for ur kind answer.
best wishes.
