Breathing Cambodia on Vimeo

Beautiful work, Amit. Thanks for sharing!

I am glad you enjoyed it Sareesh. thanks for your comments.

What lenses were used?

And was that in the wild or in some sort of sanctuary? There's no way you'd catch me getting that close to a wild tiger.

Canon 70-200, 24-70, and Tokina 11-16
Yes, the animal shots are from a wildlife conservation center. Getting that close to a tiger in the wild would definitely not be easy :)

Hi Amit,

That was very enjoyable, I know very little about Cambodia and was surprised to see its natural beauty.

The only criticism I have is the fact that I'm not a fan of fast transitions in a video of this nature. I think if you were to make softer, longer fades between scenes it would enhance your video several fold. I felt the music would suit fades well.

Have a look at this, I think your video would benifit from transitions like this;

I really liked your portrayal of the children and use of slow mo.

It's an inspiration and another location to add to my ever growing list of places to shoot!

Well done.

Al

I'm going to Cambodia next week. Don't think I'm gonna take the camera though, since we're just going to the beach and sand is what killed my last camera.

Hi Al,
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
I certainly agree with your comments about the transitions.
Few years ago i was an excessive user of transitions in my videos, and later on i tried to minimize crossdissolves. Although for this video i think it would be appropriate. I am in the process of adding a few finishing touches and might go with your suggestion.
Once again, appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,
Amit
