After the Orthos and up to the Vespers, he catches the camera, lifts the drone and records his area nearby and aerial shots. Priest Constantine Vassiliadisfrom Neapoli Kozani, Known as “Pope-Drone”, “Pope-Razzi” or “Pope Vioios”it has now become a “phenomenon” on YouTube.
He is also very dear to the Greek community especially in Australia, Germany and America, where his videos sweep. With equipment that includes 6 cameras, drone and audio, it presents from its personal channel the natural beauties, forgotten villages, traditional festivals and events and in addition do interviews with residents. That is to say, it is filmed by “from dry and air” what deserves to be shown from the Vojos area.
“I try to cover with image and sound as much as I can and now I am almost everywhere for the promotion of our country”he says, speaking to RES-EIA, and describes how he manages to catch up in two villages of Vojo, the top and the goldsmith, along with photography and videos.
“The routine of the church is doing good – as in the monasteries – so I do all the sequences here and I usually have the camera with me, with all the equipment. Depending on the time of year, I have less or more videos each day. Usually, I go to my children – Panagiotis and Helen – to school, drink a coffee in the cafe and start ». His … television shooting leaves them only for a while and specifically in Easter, since he does not catch up with many functions in the churches.
The goal of the priest, who skillfully handles the technical equipment and has learned to set up and join power supplies, cameras, make sound mixes and toss the drone flawlessly, is to highlight the natural beauty of the area and become known everywhere the Bio and its history. From the stone bridge, which is shown with downloads from below and from above, to interviews with residents captures the data that will arouse the interest of those who watch the videos and – because not – to learn about the area to visit it on their vacation.
“I have learned everything – from mountains and narrow streets, and in the summer at all the events, where I usually do live broadcast. At the big festivals, I have been able to set up five cameras, and of course drone, “he says, adding:” A few days ago, I was told, “Father, will you come? Why does not happen without our priest!”describes.
His first contact with technology came several years ago, when he started with a small camera and today came to be quite equipped technically. At first, some expatriates from America supported him, and many citizens are now helping through his page.
“When I became a priest, the Despot told me to go to high school as well. I gave Panhellenic and went to the University – to the Theological School. Then the technology in my life was cowardly. I got my first computer in 2004. The first camera got it in 2009, with my son’s birth, along with a small camera. I got the drone too. I had a print nephew, and I said, “We don’t make a page for our area?” So it started »explains the immovable priest.
From the first publication 16 years ago, there is no longer an event without the Pope – as the locals say – and the love and response of the world, even outside the borders, is growing. The messages he receives are hundreds and are now recognizable outside the borders.
“They come to our e-mails from everywhere-from municipalities, bodies, clubs, groups-sometimes we can’t manage it all and we don’t upload everything to our site. This year our villagers who live in Germany when they came to the village said “We know you from the Father videos” and asked to take a photo all together “describes.
With 25 years as a priest and 15 years behind the camera when he was asked “if he were not a clergyman to become a presenter,” he replies: “I don’t do it for my own view, but for the place I love. I even avoid appearing in the shots – most of the time only my voice sounds, “ It notes and indeed the double shots are scarce and avoids the “in front of the camera”.
Father Konstantinos Vassiliadis is not intended to stop recording and promotion on Tovoion’s website and on your YouTube channel. With the power of God and the love of his family he will continue as he says he combines Divine Liturgy and videos for as long as he can withstand … And after the sermon of the ammate he will continue to set up cameras and throw a drone, since those living in his parish and area say that “He manages to balance his spiritual mission with his love for his image and place.”
