Journey

I set myself a target of can I edit together something from all the random footage I had sitting on my drive from my trip to India.I set myself 60 minutes from capturing the footage to my scratch disk to edit and be ready for upload. I managed it but its not as good as I could have made it but I wanted to set myself that limit and nothing more. There was very little footage and I had always wanted to use Guy Farley's Orchestral version of Where is My Mind to the video. But then I heard the vocal The Sunday Girl had added and being a bit pissed off that it was not only better but they had now used it in a TV advert I figured its now or never to do this.

The footage near the end to almost the end changes a lot in terms of quality. It was to symbolise the long days arduous journey it took to get from the airport to home. The degradation in image quality and the colouring suggest a fragile and worn sense of body and mind.........if you believe that pretentious BS then there's something film school snob wannabe about you. Truth is I shot most of my footage there on my crappy camera on phone.

@TheRiturajgupta Thanks but I know I could have done better. If I had time I would have created a new widescreen matte and made it look cinemascope which I will do with the same footage without the music later

For some reason this is jittery and not as smooth as either the mov file or the divx I converted it to. The opening shot seems shorter as well so thinking the frame rate me have been screwed up somewhere. But meh I only did this as a test and now when I see it on here . It's kinda crappy.
