Forgotten Film From Cambodia

There's thousands of reels of film at this building behind the Bophana Center. Film on shelves on floors  just laying there exposed to the elements. 16mm, 35mm, 70mm tons of it.  It makes my imagination wander and I think of the footage in years past. It's a glimpse into Cambodia's film making industry back then. Oddly enough most of the films were Russian. Go figure.

My 7D

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.
