Angkor Wat, Cambodia, Handheld · October 21st, 2009, 03:17 PM

A short edit of mostly handheld footage from recent trip to Angkor Wat and Phnom Pehn, Cambodia.

The wide shots are Sigma 14mm F2.8 for Nikon with adapter.

A bit shaky and stuttered in parts, but a nice edit with some thought-provoking images.

The location is much more impressive than the video. Did you down-grade it? Did you de-saturate everything on purpose? I think it needs "better/different" grading. I think you could pull some incredible sequences with a new piece of music and some focused effort presenting the shots. The place has so much more drama than I get from the cut. Maybe it's the music? Makes me want to go, though. Thanks for posting. Just my 2 cents...

I might have left out the dancing scenes and the traffic. It was the stillness of the place that was the most haunting.

Sorry, I didn't watch it all.
I stopped when we got to the skulls.
Up until then the pacing had been unchanging and the hippyish Pink Floyd soundtrack which had no relevance to the images was doing nothing for me.
To then see the evidence of one of the most shocking events in recent history with the same pacing and the same sound track ie as if these were more postcard images, didn't work for me in filmic terms. In fact it was quite unsettling and I gave up watching at that point.
I hope this doesn't sound too harsh but I'm supposing you are wanting some feedback.
