Wanderlust

This is the video that opened my eyes to the world of filmmaking. Before this experience, I thought of myself as a photography purist, and that I would never cross over to video. I had just purchased a Canon 5d Mk2 after being a long time Nikon shooter and was amazed at how much fun it was to shoot video. I spent 6 months backpacking Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia, welcoming new experiences and trying to say yes to absurd opportunities. I did help exchanges, couch surfing, worked for rent, and went broke multiple times requiring me to get a job in a sushi kitchen and spending next to nothing everyday. It was a beautiful journey and I am glad I documented the experiences, as well as the friendships that I made along the way.
When I got home, I edited this video in after effects (because I didn't know any better) and it took me over a month. This video started it all for me - ten years ago.
