Following the Earthquake of 25 April 2015, a group of Nepali Friends organized a team to help people of affected rural areas. This is an informal effort to bring immediate help to those who need it at the grass roots.
I decided to set up a fund to support the team and to follow them with my camera, to document their relief effort.

This is one of my first video project shared publicly and using magic lantern.
It is a quite quick and dirty edit as I don't have too much time to spend on each videos (planning to release them weekly), while traveling 2-3 days a week with the relief team, and still having a job and a young daughter to look after.
Theoretically, for this kind of project, it would be much easier to use the canon stock h264 video, but I just can't help it, love the raw video footage so much. It's quite tricky for interviews though.

Forgot to mention I'm using a 5d3 with 35 and 50mm lenses, and a gopro 4.

Dear all,

My name is Amara and I am a swiss guy, currently living in Nepal.
As you surely know, the country has been hit by a serious earthquake a fortnight ago and a lot of people  have lost their homes and some have lost family members too.

The emergency of this situation here in Nepal, has pushed me to do something useful with my camera.
I have started a fundraiser as well as a video project documenting a relief effort from a team volunteers (for more information check my website link on my profile). The funds received help the team buying and bringing materials to people from heavily affected areas.

I have been experimenting with Magic lantern for a while (raw video, intervalometer and focus peaking are the main features I use), but had not really shared my videos with the world (the case of never been satisfied with the results and shooting, shooting, shooting but never taking/having time to edit).

I'll add a link to our first video in the "share your video section"

Thanks
