TAKE THE TOUR: If you can’t jet off to Florence, or you just want to avoid the crush of tourists, sit back with a glass of Chianti and watch the virtual tour.

Piazza della Republica - Florence - Italy

Piazza della Republica je virtuální prohlídka v lokalitě Florence.

Then, for more on the most famous doors in the world, take a closer look at:  

Baptistery of San Giovanni - Florence

The Baptistery of San Giovanni is one of the oldest astronomical places in the city of Florence. Already around the 1000 was placed a marble inlay at the north door which is one of the oldest astronomical Florentine documents.


SHAKE & BAKE: See Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2004). What can you learn about competition from the likes of Will Farrell and the hypercompetitive world of stock car racing? Primarily this: “If you ain’t first, you’re last!” 

Here Are Some Tips & Techniques for Cutting a Compelling Video Montage

Video montages set to music are ubiquitous. From people's vacation videos to personal/corporate reels and broadcast highlight packages, music montages dominate a sizable portion of online video content. One of the primary practices in this type of editing has always been to cut with the beat of the underlying music.




​CREATE A MONTAGE:
Any good competition needs a 1980s style montage, so take your phone out and start filming. Add music featuring synthesizer and electronic drums and voila, you are ready for fierce competition. 


​GET INSPIRED:
Need a muse? Start with the most famous training montage of all time from Rocky (1976). Rocky goes jogging, hits frozen meat, and climbs the art museum steps.

Then you can follow it with one from every sequel: 

Rocky II: Rocky gets faster by chasing a chicken. 
Rocky III: Rocky and Apollo Creed frolic on the beach. 

Rocky IV: Rocky grows a beard and splits wood in Russia. 
Rocky V: Rocky trains his protégé. 

Rocky Balboa:  A noticeably older Rocky goes jogging to the museum again. 

Creed: Apollo’s son revives the genre forty years after the original montage. 
Still Not Fired Up? How about a montage of montages? 

If that doesn’t do the trick, maybe this competition thing isn’t for you.
