Stolen equipment

<p style="text-align:center"><a href="https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/materiel-vole" target="_blank"><em>&lt;lien vers la version fran&ccedil;aise ici&gt;</em></a></p> <h3><em><strong>Good. Where do we start?<br /> What is this campaign?</strong></em></h3> <p><br /> Hello, so I&#39;m Julien, and recently<strong> I had most of my equipment stolen</strong>, about <strong>15.000 euros</strong> (yes, I know, that&#39;s a lot), used to do my job.</p> <p>The list:<br /> <strong>Sony a9 ii // 16-35mm f/2.8 // 70-200mm f/2.8 // MacbookPro 13&quot; // GoPro, accessories, batteries, SD cards and hard disks (+ backup disks that burned, at the same time, yes ...)</strong></p> <p><br /> So yes, I know, it&#39;s only material, and some memories of this year that are lost.<br /> But what&#39;s embarrassing is that it&#39;s equipment that I had mostly invested at the beginning of the year, for projects that have been cancelled. And in terms of insurance, to sum up, after having tried everything, I am getting nothing, <strong>nada</strong>.</p> <p><br /> So today, I know that the situation is complicated for a lot of people. And personally, <strong>I&#39;m not a fan</strong> of the &quot;crowdfunding&quot; system, particularly in the actual period.</p> <p>But after a lot of thought, after having exhausted other solutions, and after having been advised to do so by a lot of people close to me, I&#39;m going to start here.</p> <p><br /> Not wanting to just ask for money, I decided <strong>to set up counterparts</strong>, based on your donations (details below).</p> <p>So, for all those who will be willing to help me, to support me, to participate in the renewal of this material, today essential to continue my professional activity, <strong>I would like to say thank you</strong>.<br /> <strong>Thank you very much</strong>.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/700898/c895ef9f-434c-4743-a909-8d91ec6f626e.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <h3><em><strong>But who am I in fact?</strong></em></h3> <p><br /> Small<strong> bio / timeline / about-me.</strong></p> <p>Self-taught, I got my first camera in 2012. At the beginning it was mostly to take pictures of my friends during our trainings, then in 2015, I really started working.</p> <p>For two years, I was a drone teleoperator on TV shows, and then I went on to work on my first events as a photographer or videographer, before arriving today to work with clients such as <strong>Red Bull</strong>, <strong>Le Grand Rex</strong> or the <strong>International Olympic Committee</strong>, as well as several <strong>artists, athletes and top-level sportsmen and women.</strong></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/700920/a528d095-e75b-4720-a49b-2d0d850f1c12.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>Involved in the parkour community, I am also contributing to the <strong>development of the only magazine on parkour culture</strong> (<a href="https://muvmag.com/" target="_blank"><strong>M&Uuml;VMAG</strong></a>). <em>(And you can even get print or digital versions in return ;) )</em></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/700913/71e36204-fe77-4f67-8689-5e360a2bfeb9.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <h3><em><strong>And if I give, what happens next?</strong></em></h3> <p><br /> First, on&nbsp;this page, in the &quot;news&quot; section, I will update you on the preparation of the prints, the dates and places of the workshops, etc...<br /> Then, don&#39;t make a mistake in your email, I don&#39;t spam, but it will be used to 1) thank you personally, and 2) keep you informed more personally of your counterpart.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/700919/0fc1c09b-0562-4cd1-9c3a-a7bda205da51.jpg" width="100%" /></p>

Allocation of funds

<p style="text-align:center"><em><strong>&lt;info!&gt; </strong></em>The counterparts concerning<strong>&nbsp;workshops</strong> being <strong>only in France</strong>, they will not appear in the &quot;English&quot; version of the fundraising.</p> <p style="text-align:center">For the <strong>courses, meetings and shootings</strong>, travel is possible as long as <strong>expenses are covered</strong>.&nbsp;<em><strong>&lt;/info!&gt;</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><em><strong>What&#39;s the money for?</strong></em></h3> <p>The collection will be used to get back some photo equipment, depending on the levels reached.<br /> Aware of the amount that this represents, and of the current situation, my goal is not to repurchase the same equipment, but <strong>at least a camera body, a wide angle, a telephoto lens, with one or two gopros</strong>.&nbsp;Since I still have some equipment left, quite specific <strong>(drones, waterproof housings, camera &quot;cage&quot;, etc...)</strong>, it would be complicated to have to change everything.</p> <h3><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/701487/30d2d52f-0a0d-410e-b0e7-93f5ea04b771.jpg" width="100%" /></h3> <h3><em><strong>Can you tell us a bit more about the counterparts ?</strong></em></h3> <p>Sure!</p> <ul> <li>First, for optimal quality, <strong>the prints will be made by the Picto laboratory in Paris</strong>. (For 70 years, Picto has been a reference for image professionals, founded in 1950, it accompanies photographers, museums, institutions and galleries for the prints of their exhibitions.<br /> <br /> And concerning the photos to be printed, <strong>you can choose the one you want, among those on my site, my networks, or one we would have made together!</strong><br /> <em>(ps: Sending possible in France, Europe, and even worldwide.)</em></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>For the print and/or digital versions of <a href="https://shop.muvmag.com/category/publications/" target="_blank"><strong>M&Uuml;VMAG</strong></a>, you can choose <strong>the issue(s) of your choice.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>For the shootings, the dates and locations will be defined according to our availability and your desires. <strong>No prerequisites</strong>, whether you are a private individual, an comedian, an amateur sportsman or a pro, whether you want a book, portraits, or just the desire to have beautiful pictures, <strong>you are the boss.</strong>&nbsp;<br /> <em>(Travel not included)</em></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>For private courses/interviews, depending on the conditions (as well as your preferences), I will travel&nbsp;to meet you, otherwise we will schedule a videoconference appointment.&nbsp;<br /> <em>(Travel not included)</em></li> </ul> <h3><br /> <em><strong>Oh yeah, all that, so what are the objectives ?</strong></em></h3> <p style="text-align:center"><br /> in progress<br /> <strong>STEP 1 - 5k</strong></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>It&#39;s crazy, thank you!</em><br /> Wow, all this? I can&#39;t buy it all back and I&#39;d have to sort through what I have left, but I have enough to get some used equipment <strong>that will keep me working</strong>. Thank you.</p> <p style="text-align:right"><br /> <strong>STEP 2 - 10k</strong></p> <p style="text-align:right"><em>Better than a Christmas TV movie.</em><br /> 10.000 times thank you! Thanks to you<strong> I don&#39;t have to change the equipment I have left</strong>, and I can get most of my material back.</p> <p style="text-align:right"><br /> <strong>STEP 3 - 15K</strong></p> <p style="text-align:right"><em>It&#39;s LEGEN... (wait for it) ... DARY !!! (sorry if you don&#39;t have the ref&#39;)</em><br /> Ok it&#39;s incredible here, I can take it all back, <strong>recover my expenses from the losses caused by the theft</strong>, and santa add <strong>gifts </strong>in your counterparts.</p> <p style="text-align:right"><br /> <strong>STEP 4</strong></p> <p style="text-align:right"><em>Paaaaaaaardon?</em><br /> Well, I don&#39;t believe in it too much, but if the funding is reached/over, and you still feel want a print, a shooting or anything, send me an email instead and we&#39;ll see what we can do ;)<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><em><strong>And you, do you participate anyway, because you ask a lot?</strong></em></h3> <p>For my part, I have already bought back some equipment, such as hard disks, memory cards, made the steps to change my insurance, a computer screen (the one I had decided not to walk anymore), etc...</p> <p><br /> Finally, I&#39;m aware of the &quot;steps&quot; that may seem &quot;high&quot;, but you have to count 8% of the platform fees, as well as the price to pay for quality counterparts (prints, frames, shipping costs, etc...).</p>
