travel video
This travel video is a
3 hour presentation of the culture and traditions of Rajasthan, India. Our
intention was to show an interesting and pretty intense itinerary, which we
were able to cover in about 2 weeks. We wanted to shoot a travelog, a long
form documentary about this particular trip making it different from the regular
documentaries you may see on TV . We covered a lot of ground in the narration
associated with the video: from history to legends, architecture and traditions,
customs and religions we tried as much as possible to approach most of the
issues you encounter in such a trip.
The travel video is the result
of a lot of research and documentation we did before we left there, but also
of a lot of information we got on site, talking to people or listening to
the stories coming from the guides. We shot a lot of footage and we ended
up editing it to make a very pleasant and attractive presentation. I think
we did a great job because a lot of people who saw it, some of them never
intending to visit India but some being people we met there, in Rajasthan,
enjoyed the video a lot.
If you have any intention to visit
this area or other part of India, or if you know for sure that you will never
get there, watching this film will bring you the experience of being half
there. To do the trip we
rented a car with driver (which is less expensive than a car without a driver...)
and we drove by day only, driving by nights on Indian lorry-infested roads
being a harrowing experience, we stayed in hotels recommended by the driver,
most of them middle range listed in Lonely Planet, we ate in vegetarian restaurants,
which is a minimum advice if you travel anywhere in India. You can do almost
the same tour by train but there are some areas, like Shekhawati and Bikaner,
where the train does not reach and this motivated us to take a car.
If you are interested
to find specifics about the trip or about the video please contact
us. We will be more than happy to share with you our experience.
