Hi Andy,

Wow indeed it has been a long time since we last spoke... Thank You very much as always you are very kind to me. I filmed 37 games and edited everything by myself, I mean were talking over 300 hours for this video. Not all the credit goes to me though, once again the kids were simply amazing this year, they had some spectacular plays and as usual they make me look good..:))

Glad to hear that you are still involved with the Stallions, who knows maybe one day I will come and film one of their games for fun.... Keep in touch Andy and Thank You very much for your kind words...

Billy,
It's been awhile.... I attended the QMFL banquet yesterday representing the Junior Stallions team. I was overjoyed to hear them mention that AFV was responsible for the league video this year and I'm sure you know why. All I can say is I was SPEECHLESS. My food got cold becasue I wouldn't take my eyes off the screen. What a fantastic job you did. Everytime I thought it was over you came back with another set of clips. I can really appreciate the countless hours that went into that film. The timing with clips and music was flawless... I just wanted to share how proud I am to know you and how much I respect your "art". Looking forward to the clips of the future.. Take Care and thanks again for all you do for these players, fans, leagues etc...

I can't describe in words how thrilled I was when I saw Julian make that catch, when I got home that evening and downloaded the video on my computer, I must of watch that play at least 20 times. I tell you something, I love passing games, I just love to as much as I can and when possible to zoom in on the QB and follow the ball from the time the QB releases and that play was just picture perfect. Julian made a spectacular catch and I'm so glad that I was at that game, and from all the games I filmed Julian's interception was NUMBER 1.

Glad you and your son enjoyed it and thanks once again for your kind words and encouragement...

Billy,
Another great job on the recent videos. Especially the video on interceptions.
Great Story... I was watching it with my son Bryce.. Through out the whole video, Bryce kept mumbling, I hope he got Julians, I hope he got Julians. As we got to the Top 10, he was discouraged that he hadn't seen St. Lazare's #5 Julian Magnan's interception against St. Laurent. I told him if it was that good, AFV would have it. He almost shut down the video when the countdown hit 2... and low and behold Julian's interception was #1. We decided we had to send you this message for the chuckle and again to say thanks for all you do.

Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
Once again Thank You very much for your kind words. Without disrespecting anyone, filming and editing complement each other and it is important to have a good balance. You could be the best camera man but if the editing is not good the video will not have the impact it should, same can be said about editing if the filming is not good. Choice of music and flow is very important and what people don’t realize about my videos is, that a lot of time is invested in editing. Wait till I release the Mustangs banquet video, I know it may not be of interest but just see it for the quality of work and you will understand what I mean about the amount of time invested in editing.
I’m glad you enjoyed my 2010 QMFL awards banquet highlight video, keep in mind it was my first time there so I wasn’t too familiar with how they proceed and some angles of filming is not what I wanted but still I tried to do my best.
Congratulations for your son, he is one of my favourite running backs and I wish I was able to have filmed a few more games of the Stallions so that I could have made a highlight film for him, please wish him good luck for next year, from me....
Thanks

HI Billy,
Very nice work on the QMFL 2010 banquet coverage. It was fun to watch as usual. I wish they used AFV for the banquet video though. It was real disappointing for especially St. Lazare. "They" filmed one of our games with over 400 yards of offense and a 62-6 score and did not show one offensive highlight. It wasn't fun for our 2 offensive All-star players present to watch. There is no comparison for your work and what you are able to capture...Hopefully they will see that now.. Thanks for all you do!

Thank you very much Christian, it may not be physically hard on me but mentally stressful it is plenty. Trying to get these videos out as soon as possible during the 13 weeks of the football season is pretty demanding and not too many hours of sleep from Friday night to Sunday night. Many people ask me why I do this, there is no logical answer because I absorb all the costs and every year I do more than the previous, but for me all the young aspiring football athletes deserve every second that I devote in showcasing Québec's talented football HEROES. For many the season is over but for me it has just begun, with many more videos to be released my passion and heart continues to do as much as it can for all the young athletes unconditionally.
As for Footbec, well they are two amazing brothers who have dedicated so many years covering so many games with the most amazing pictures and coverage possible and it's an honour be mentioned along side with them.
Thank you very much for your kind words....

Hi Mr Mourelatos,

Just want to let you know that you're doing a fantastic job and that your passion for the sport transmits itself with every new presentation you feature.

On behalf of all Quebec football players, their parents and respective associations, I want to THANK YOU for all the time and effort which you devote, on a volunteer basis, to showcase the game and it's players.

Together with Footbec, you are both a HUGE part of Quebec football, and thanks to both of you, our young athletes get the recognition and exposure they deserve.

May I also take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry and Safe Hoilidays!

Once again Thank You Vey Much for all you've done for the advancement of Quebec football and it's young athletes!

All the best!

Thank You very much Tony, they all work so hard to play this great sport and I try my best to showcase as many teams and young athletes as possible. We need to encourage our young athletes to stay dedicated and to believe in themselves, allowing them not to stray from their dreams.
It’s lot of work but they are worth every second and if my videos help even one young athlete achieve his dream, then my passion and efforts filming football have served a purpose.
