Railroad Area Phnom Penh

Canon 7D, 18-200mm

Three of us went to the railroad area and tried to sneak in without getting caught. We started at the shanty town where people that have been booted out from elsewhere and made new homes. There was a lot of yelling and screaming coming out of some of the dwellings. Not a place where many people go out of there way to go see. Midway through the video you can see the guard emerging from around the corner. We lasted about 10 minutes before they found us. We then headed across Boeung Kak lake Which is no longer a lake cause of all the fill. Cheers.

Alleys of Phnom Penh Part 1

Myself and Alisa Head down some of the alley ways of the city looking for that decisive moment. I shot some video as well as stills. Everything was shot on the 7D and 18-200 lens. Edit was done in FCP with no color correction. Footage was shot in 60p and 24p. The 60p footage was conformed to 24p to get the slow motion you see in some of the clips. I think it looks good for what it is. We had fun and we'll be checking out some more "off the beaten path" areas.

Teaching Dancer The "Down" Command

Pyongyang North Korean Restaurant, Phnom Penh

In the middle of the video the camera went sideways cause i was asked to put it away. I just set it on my lap and kept it rolling. Bizarre place and so-so food. Worth a visit at least once if you want to experience something different. Oh... they also have dog on the menu. I have to keep Dancer far away from this place. Shot with Canon 7D and 18-200 lens.
