When you start to observe and explore these filmed sequences, you will find yourself in the same situation that I was filming these images. That is to say without having prepared any scenario, without preconceived intention. No, just film and film if possible, because the technical conditions are terribly restrictive. First of all purely material, the endoscope whose lens can break, the focusing wheel which can jam, the camera which does not activate, the cold light not intense enough, the image on the screen. which remains too small, the recorder that must be reset for no apparent reason, the trainee nurse who presses the wrong button and does not record. Added to this is the quality of the image altered by water vapor droplets, grease stains, etc. The shooting technique has evolved over the years with technological developments.

2 phases can be distinguished.

The first is located between 2001 and 2009. A conventional HOPKINS STORZ endoscope for exploration of the knee, with a 35 degree angulation and a medium quality TRICAMSTORZ camera 72 dpi was used during this period. The sequences are of good quality, and were used to make my first film «Strolling under the skin».

During the 2 nd period between 2010 and 2015, another endoscope is used for hysteroscopy of the uterine cervix called HOPKINS STORZ 30 ° contact HAMOU Diameter 2.9 mm X60 with a magnification of 25 to 80 times combined with a Karl Storz Image One camera and a cold light power supply Xenon Nova source. The recorder is in ProRes KIPRO AJA HDV 10 quality. The first period allowed us to begin to understand, the second will give us confirmation of our concepts but also beautiful images.

One of the reasons for making these videos available on this website is the desire to share these images of living matter so that they can be enjoyed and appreciated by a large interdisciplinary audience as well as members of the general public.
