Tourist’s Eye: Bangkok
18 Dec
It was my first time in Thailand and I arrived as part of a film crew. Yes, it finally happened. I was on location with an actual, honest-to-goodness Bollywood movie. My role on the project is to capture the behind-the-scenes action. I’m doing so with the Canon 7D, a digital SLR that also captures high-definition video.
The video that will go into the final ‘Making Of’ film will appear several months from now. But I also attempted to capture a little of the sights around Bangkok (at least the places I visited) and this video is an edited distillation of my experience of the place. People seem surprised that I didn’t take to the place but I’ll say this much, if the great city of Mumbai is every ‘futurised’ it will probably look like Bangkok.
I only used the standard kit lens and some color-correction was employed in post production. The image that comes out of this camera, is gorgeous.
