BULGARIA - THE OLD COUNTRY

[@annikaholmvik9792]

I´m totally in love with Bulgaria. I´m on visit every summer, exploring different places.

[@itsgamerking3436]

Hm your lying :/

[@JRAlli]

wonderful work Kiril, seriously just stunning :)

[@KirilDobrev]

Mr +JR Alli thanks a lot man!

[@nonstickbrute7941]

really good video Kiril..hoping to come to Bulgaria in February! 👍

[@carlosaraujo1327]

wow..amazing..here in Latin America we dod not hear much about Bulgaria in.the past...nice country..i will save some money to visit Bulgaria..even though i do not speak bulgarian...

[@FLanklinBadge]

Надявам се да направиш много повече за България! Там живеех 2 години, и ми липсва много!

[@dimitarkirov6618]

Thanks for showing our common country this way :)

[@Roamancing]

This is beautifully filmed, especially with the footsteps. Really transports one there.

[@ShaschaZolochevskaya]

Dude it's cool, found you through the Delos. Don't even know, all obviously, this is the coolest quality, I will be inspired!

[@alexstoyanov123]

Много добро видео!👌

[@mark1790]

Kiril, this is epic! Seriously well put together!

[@MegaJade75]

Невероятно...Не бях виждала родния си град по този начин!Благодаря!

[@OgnyanTsvetanov]

Страхотно представяне ! Поздравления !

[@greghogan4853]

Found you through SV Delos. Noticed your brilliant editing there for the first time. You have a gift for this. Beautiful film here. In this clip the underlying percussion track marking time with the visuals (marching boots, shuffled shoes, swords drawn from sheaths, change dropping in a customer's hand at the market, etc.) timed precisely with the scene transitions and was a work of beauty. Keep it up.

[@KirilDobrev]

Hi Greg, thanks for leaving a comment and i'm glad that you could appreciate the little subtleties. Its always encouraging and ill definitely be making more films!

[@mariadobreva1945]

Well done!!! Captivating .I can feel the vibe of Sofia, the everyday life.You should pursue cinematography : )

[@KirilDobrev]

+Amira Al Madami Thanks for your kind words Amira!

[@mdorris71]

SV Delos got me here too. Reminds us to slow down and appreciate the everyday aspects of our environment. Like how you played with sound, time and especially focus for emphasis.

[@TheRainydayvideo]

I've only just found your channel. So glad I did. I'm always looking for new inspiration on here. Big ups!

[@KirilDobrev]

+TheRainydayvideo Thank you, I'm glad :)

Really really good video - congrats!

[@Activ8]

Hey, very nice video, love to see people making videos for Bulgaria :)

[@KirilDobrev]

Hey Pavel thanks man.. Yeah I think so too!

[@halfcowboy]

I seriously loved your color grading and the images you captured, you have a great eye for framing as well as really good editing, loved this so much. I am also a filmmaker and just filmed a video about the parkour community in my city as well as one about the memories we make. I would really love to hear you feedback on the films I make, I subscribed and am looking forward to future films you produce Kiril!

[@KirilDobrev]

+Giovanni Montalvo Kind words, cheers dude! Your work is great as well, keen to see more!

[@futv_travel5535]

Great Cinematography!!!! Your videos are always an inspiration for our videos. Proudly South African!

[@KirilDobrev]

Howzit! thank you that means a lot

[@gadoatl5133]

This is really amazing.

[@aussiemaarten]

This is absolutely perfect! The slowmos and the fast forward parts are so cool. The colours were really nice. All the shots were perfect, glad I found your channel. please make more

[@KirilDobrev]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it man. Ill be making more real soon :)

[@katerinkot]

[@VentureVisual]

I don't know how someone could not like this video. Incredibly well done.

[@KirilDobrev]

Much appreciated!

[@vaughnwright]

Real nice bro!

[@nasasjanitor]

Great shots and transitions!

[@dacataMC]

Beautiful stuff, I think no one has ever used the guys in front of the presidency in such a way. Maybe because it's an everyday thing that we see and we don't pay attention to it. Really powerful, walking in those footsteps, thank you!

[@KirilDobrev]

glad you appreciated it +Yordan Radichkov!

[@Grima21]

I LOVE this video! I love Bulgaria

[@KirilDobrev]

+Patricius Ritter von Kvančnik Greetings fellow Austrians :)

[@AgentSkyper]

Страхотно видео, монго ми хареса! Може ли да го ползвам като част от ДВД за България, което искам да подаря на учителите на дъщерите ни в Швейцария? Да им покажем, че България също е една много красива страна.

[@KirilDobrev]

Много благодаря! Да, можете да го използвате, моля, просто дайте ми кредит. Благодарим Ви, че гледахте и оставихте коментар

[@SALVIULO]

Very cool!! Great! ;)

[@PetraitisM]

I just love those pan, zoom and tilt transitions! I hope one day I can master them like this :)

[@curtis8655]

WOW, you just blow my mind at your video editing talent!. I just watched your SV Delos edit and that led me here. you really need to keep the video's coming. you are so professional its astonishing!

[@KirilDobrev]

such kind words thank you! I will be making more videos real soon I promise! thanks for your support :)

[@annayanova]

Beautiful!!!

[@itso23]

Многооо добър клип и монтаж. Браво!

[@RyanSapienzaFilms]

Okay can we just talk about how brilliant the shot at 0:05 is? hahahah. Excellent use of sound design

[@KirilDobrev]

Haha thanks dude

[@julioarteaga6881]

Bro, very nice editing skills. Super clean. I wish my skills were as good as yours. Keep the videos coming!

[@KirilDobrev]

thanks so much man, busy making more now! just hard to find the time haha!

[@unclemuir]

Kiril I think with what I have seen from your work you can do very well in this field, with the exposure from Delos now is the time to capitalize on this. I have never been to Bulgaria, but after seeing this I will have to visit. Very good work that I have seen so far from you. I wish you luck and let me know when you have something else coming our way.

[@KirilDobrev]

Hi Uncle Muir, thanks for leaving such positive words. I am working on more content right now, the first being from our sailing trip with SV Delos - can't wait to get that out. PS: you should definitely consider Bulgaria for a little visit :)

[@vain_abundalakaka]

i love your editing, seriously dude. You could film a movie- The camera movements, angles, the transitions, effects..

[@KirilDobrev]

Haha, I'v got a long way to go. Yhanks for the support 🤘

[@vain_abundalakaka]

@@KirilDobrev np :D

[@robertpait1916]

your vids are interesting visually, I like how the images you transition too share a common theme, but your approach is unique. I like them.

[@KirilDobrev]

Hey Robert thank you so much, yeah i'm trying to develop my own style as I go along so its cool to hear that you found a common theme throughout. Appreciate your comment!

[@LyxsGaming]

congratulations for good editing! Greetings from Bulgaria!!

[@KirilDobrev]

Greetings! I'll be back in Bulgaria for a short while in July

[@KirilDobrev]

+Dimitar Dobrev Thanks bro!

[@npaidas]

this is awe inspiring stuff man! your shots have given me lots to think about. PLEASE tell me how you did that shot at 1:06 of the church. the move in and tilt up thing....

[@KirilDobrev]

+NiC Paidas Kind words, thanks Nic! That was a hyperlapse, its done by taking a photo, then taking a step forward, and repeat :) There are plenty of tutorials on youtube to check out!

[@npaidas]

thanks for the reply man! i'm going to check out some tutorials for sure. By the way what camera did you shoot this with?

[@KirilDobrev]

+NiC Paidas On a Canon 60D!

[@emmaagh7566]

The editing style reminds me of that of BBC's Sherlock. Pretty cool!

[@crstothard]

You are a very talented videographer and editor! Your work on Delos' content made for a measurable uptick in quality and interest. How long did you live in Bulgaria before you moved to SA? Greetings from NYC!

[@KirilDobrev]

Hey, wow thanks for the kind words. I lived there for my first 5 years and then moved to South Africa. Send my regards to NYC :)

[@crstothard]

@@KirilDobrev Ah, very good! We're looking forward to seeing you back with the team during the 59° North series, when that's ready. Where are you these days, back in SA? Any chance we'll see you on Brady and Blue's Atlantuc crossing? Cheers!

[@emanueladdo4243]

Great video, Sofia looks great, if you done a video of sliven the pavements and road would never look like that! It is kinda the wrong image of the country on a whole😂 but the actual video is great! I recommend to all tourists looking to visit Bulgaria to look where they walk at all times especially when drinking if you value your ability to walk😀

[@KirilDobrev]

Emanuel Addo I think it depends on how you look at it 🙂 there's countless ways to see the same thing! Glad you enjoyed it 👊🏻

[@BenEllefson]

Love your films, I'm always looking for good music to use in my edits. Any tips on where you get yours or good places to find music? Cheers

[@KirilDobrev]

A lot of looking, sometimes up to a month even! Its torture

[@BenEllefson]

Any specific sites you use as your go to places?

[@KirilDobrev]

Soundcloud mainly, first find a genre you like, then go and listen to everything you can get your hands on in that genre - you'll find awesome little gems and you'll find the worst music you've ever heard, but just keep digging till you find something that works :)

[@g.ivanovgrozev7050]

Hey Kiril! Awesome video! Question... in your description you say you're from South Africa. But your name is very Bulgarian. Do you have Bulgarian roots?

[@BartoszRybotycki]

youre are very talented :)

[@KirilDobrev]

Appreciate it. still so much to learn!

[@44jbly]

Great work man! What kind of lenses have you used?

[@KirilDobrev]

technically, there are countries older than BG in Europe, but the film is great! And the attitude!

[@dimitardobrev2624]

+mamunder it's i think it's old because its where he used to live as a kid?

[@mamunder]

+Dimitar Dobrev yes, I didn't want to leave ambiguity there

[@iasengeshev]

+mamunder ...technically it's the oldest. There are some researchers (not only Bulgarian ones) that even prove that the official year of creation (681) is far from the real one and that the real one is hundreds, even thousands of years older...

[@mamunder]

681 ad, you Mean? what about bc?

[@alexandradzhermova4271]

STUNNING! I swear it is what I wanted to see for my hometown and country! But tell me Kiril - did you happen to be isnpired by Leonardo Delassendri and the videos Watchtower of Turkey, Watchtower of Morroco.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGjcoqeNaa6mm8U beause the feeling is soooo similar, the details, the ryth of the video.. not saying you copied it, it totaly has it;s own vibe and I love it! Congrats! Просто ме радва толкова много! :))) One more thing (I am writing in english cuz I dont know if you have learned bulgarian, I read you were living abroad since 5 years old ) .. You say Pleven and Ruse too.. but I only see sights of Sofia ? Also - CAN YOU PLEASE come again to Bulgaria and let's make a video of the whole country and you can sell it to the Ministry of Tourism for a commercial, or at least I will play to all those youth exchanges I go to and make Bulgaria visible! Srsly, you have mad skills and Bulgaria needs a stunning tourist video like dis, cuz we only have ones that they speak in, they lack emotion, they lack that vibe that can send an impulse to your brain so that your brain makes you say: Yeah fuck it, I am going to that place, pack up the bags!" :D I just wanna say.. I love you man for this work, i love this kind of videos and I want to learn to make them, and you are always welcome in my home if you ever travel to Bulgaria again ..especialy if you decide to take up the offer for a video of Bulgaria :)) Успех!

[@KirilDobrev]

Hi Alex! Your comment was sitting in spam so I only saw it today. Thanks so much for your kind words and im so happy the video made such a good impression on you. To answer your question, yes I take a lot of inspiration from Leonardo Delassendri, the man is a wizard. You should check out Brandon Li as well as Sebastian Linda - both have a similar kind of invisible cut style. But yes im figuring out my own style as I go along. I have seen some of the videos that the tourism board put out and I completely agree, yes they are shot well but all of them failed to capture the heart and soul of the country. I wouldn't say no to making a better, higher budget video of Bulgaria again :) Where are you from by the way? Thanks again, Merci x

[@evernouu]

I know a lot about Bulgaria. Im Greek

[@plamendobrev5416]

[@nadia-dia]

ЧЕСТИТ ПРАЗНИК, БЪЛГАРИ! И да знаем, че онези Велики сили, признали ни в 1909 г. винаги трябва да знаят, че България е най-старата държава в Европа! Около 1265-а година, понятия като Англия, Франция, Германия, Испания и много други са доста далеч от днешния им смисъл. През цялото 13-то столетие, в Европа изобщо не може да се говори за национални държави. И, ако по онова време някъде в Европа наистина се е развивала национална самоличност, то би имало смисъл само по отношение на някои малки страни, които действително успяват да се обособят от своите съседи.Тези страни биха могли да бъдат Португалия и Дания, а на Балканите - България. През 80-те години на 12-ти век България утвърждава своята независимост от Византия. И, което е по-важно, създава собствена православна църква със свой Патриарх, позволява си да изгради собствени национални елити, прави възможно създаването на национални институции. БИЛИ СМЕ, ЩЕ БЪДЕМ И ЩЕ ПРЕБЪДЕМ!!! Ще имаме и по-добри времена, убедена съм! "Където е текло - пак ще тече!"

[@kristiandimitrov766]

Единственото което не ми хареса е, че си нарекъл клипа България- Старата Държава, а филма показва само София, даже само центъра на София. Но ми хареса как си представил държавата ни пред чужденците.

[@KirilDobrev]

Прав сте, че повечето от тях са в София. Но няколко сцени са заснети в Русе, както и в Плевен. По-голямата част от моето време беше прекарано в София, така че това ми беше ограничено. Бих искал да покажа по-селските и селскостопански страни, но може би следващия път! Радвам се, че харесахте видеоклипа!

[@tonistoev]

Хубаво видео, но трябва да смениш заглавието. България не е само София.Истинската България е много повече от столицата. Nice video, but you should change the title. Bulgaria is not only Sofia. Bulgaria is much more then that.

[@KirilDobrev]

I know, I did actually shoot quite a few scenes in Pleven and Ruse but most were from Sofia. I would have liked to go into the villas but I was there for a short stay!

[@Plamen_Kostadinov.]

SOFIA - THE OLD CITY

[@obla4e9]

Видеото ми хареса... много даже, но някак не му пасва музиката /или поне според моите възприятия/. Навяваше ми на нещо азиатско, далечен изток... някак не ми стои добре за духа на България и българите.
