Thanks!

In January we made a commercial video for an high precision machining company, after seeing the contest we decided to make a second video with a narrative structure and a more emotional impact. This is the result of our effort, we hope you enjoy it! Shot with Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Dji Ronin.

I was hired to document the "narrative arc" that students go through during this highly rigorous Yoga Teacher Training course. Students practice and study from 5:45am to 3:30pm six days a week for a month to get certified in this system of yoga (Knoff Yoga). It's no bullshit, a lot of hard work, plenty of tears, and was an absolute privilege to be able to spend a month filming in their studio and capture their stories. I felt a bit like Monet in the ballet studio, just getting to focus on bodies in motion and in poses. It was the best project I've had the pleasure of working on, and doing two-camera interviews was really helped by having the hacked GH2.

My gear:

Panasonic GH3
Panasonic GH2 with the No Adverse Affects patch (big thanks to mpgxsvcd)
2 Lumix pancake lenses (14 and 20), an Olympus 45mm, an SLR Magic 35mm Cine II, and a Rokinon fish-eye lens
A Zoom H4n and Giant Squid lavs for interviews
Rode Video Mic with a DIY (fake fur) Dead Cat!
Manfrotto tripod with video fluid-head, hand-held stabilizer, tripod skate with monopod as a handle, Gorillapod
Rotolights Interview lights

Edited in Premiere. Motion graphics in After Effects. Color correction using Color Finesse in After Effects.

Hey everyone this my short film 'More Wine?' Which I have just finished.

How difficult is it to meet someone for the first time over dinner? To make conversation? To be engaging? Who is this person your talking too? Though maybe more importantly, who are you?

My second entry for the contest. The real slumkids of this dumpyard have performed in this short. The mountains seen in the backdrop are actually mounds of garbage piled up. This is one of the biggest dumpyards of India and I have seen these kids pick up disposed syringes with their bare hands and collecting them in their sack. They drink packed up water in plastic sheets as seen in the film which are sold for a premium as fresh water inside this streach of dumpyard is impossible to get. It would take a 3-4 kilometer walk outside to do that. Most of the elder kids are drug addicts (brown sugar, Heroin) and it is indeed a sad state of affairs.This is a no access area by the government as rampant child labor is openly done here. With the help of a particular local influential man, me and my team could manage a day of shooting in this area. The results could have been much better with more rehearsals and added days of shoot available to us but i am still content that i could shoot in this real backdrop as i had envisioned. Panel please note: Animals as mentioned in evaluation are seen in the film multiple times.

Thanks!

This is a short documentary created especially for the winter video contest. Seriously. I kicked around several narrative fiction ideas for the contest that kept getting too big for their britches. I was at my wit's end when a friend told me about a recent experience he'd had. I interviewed him Monday and got a bit more b-roll on Friday. I'm a newcomer to photography and cinematography. This is my second project ever, and my first documentary.
