Happy birthday to me, or how to ruin 5d Mark II video…
Tuesday I had cause to celebrate.
Firstly (because it originally happened so long ago), it was my 28th birthday.
Secondly, we wrapped up shooting on our never-ending, but nonetheless fabulous, first project.
We shot our last interview in a hostel, home to 20 Indian girls who range in age from about 6 to 14.
They sang me happy birthday!
I’ll let my expression tell the story for me:
If for some reason the video doesn’t work, try following this link.
Tristan captured this on his 5d Mark II. We then compressed the hell out of it (read: ruined it) so the archaic Indian Internet could handle the upload.
While down in Dharamshala to finish filming, we bought more of the amazingly fantastic fireworks we purchased for the Fourth.
Here’s a picture our friend Eric from Seattle took of the explosive’s Independence Day iteration.
He has a blog. It chronicles his recent Tibetan adventures and continuing Indian saga. Check it out.

what’s up with the internet there? that video doesn;t work. i’m super excited to see some video of you guys over there with the canon 5d mark 2.
what are you using to edit/compress the videos? i’ll be getting my new canon kiss x3 (canon rebel T1i) this week. the video is basically the same as tristan’s 5d mark 2. i’m going to test that audio work around that i mentioned earlier in your blog and then let you know if it’s worth it.
