FOODIE || Indonesia - Episode Seven

FOODIE || Indonesia - Episode Seven

Capturing the amazing essence of Indonesia in under 32 minutes was a challenging feat!

This short film has been the most difficult piece I have edited to-date. It spans the course over 5 years, multiple islands and 8 different cameras.

Although I miss my Indonesian friends and also living on Mama Bali, I know in my heart one day I’ll return.

Editor’s Notes:
The Rough Cut was extremely painful…ouch! How did I tie together a dynamic, cohesive storyline when the footage and stills consist of hodge-podge from 5 years of exploring Indonesia?

Much of my original footage was lost during a hard drive destruction, therefore making do with what content I had was challenging, frustrating and inspiring all-at-once!

Often I had to pick through the bones of pre-edited videos exported at 720HD or lower quality; beggars cannot be choosers! In this film I used stills to fill in the gaps of storytelling where my available footage failed me.

Sourcing music that aligned with my scenes and voiceovers was also limiting. I opted to use original audio recorded in Bali on a Zoom H4n Pro Handy mic. Additional equipment utilized were tripods, minimal lighting gear, lav mics, a series of GoPro’s, iPhone 5,6, & 7, as well as a Canon EOS 70D and Mark 5D III.

At times I found the transitions between such varying quality of camera gear a bit cringeworthy.

It is easy to observe my camera operation skills improving over the years.

Alas, this project was an incredible opportunity for me to stretch my editing capabilities, practice patience and learn a tremendous amount more in filmmaking.
