World Nomads Cell Phone Silk Road

In Guangzhou, we met some of the women who help all those little parts of our cell phones come together...

This was my entry for the World Nomads Travel Scholarship.

(Note: While this video didn't win the contest, it got shortlisted, which is kind of cool. My first time doing a documentary, trying to get better, so please comment if you have any ideas on how this video could have been better.

For example, after seeing the winners, I think I could have used some music, and maybe had more b-roll of the area around the market. Also need to work on my sound recording. Any other ideas?)

I truly enjoyed this video, brother. It tells a great story noone ever thinks about when it comes to the devices they use every moment of the day. Your brother has a unique job which I find exciting.

Thanks, Josimar. We're all just getting started, you know? Got to do all we can to get better.

This is quite different from your usual vids. Really interesting. Keep up the good mix!

Thanks, Shantiwallah. I'm going to try another super-short documentary-type thing soon, maybe about Japanese archery.
