Birthdays can change the world.
Visit charitywater.org/september to see how.

There are a billion people living without clean water. In September 2007, we had a crazy idea. We asked our friends to give up their birthdays and ask for donations instead of gifts. We used 100% of the money raised to build water projects. Every year, it got bigger. We've now helped over a million people in 17 countries get clean water. This September, join us again.

Watch the Trailer.
Visit charitywater.org/september.
Start a campaign and give up your birthday.
It can change the world.

    Hey Cameron. we shot the piece with 2 Canon 5D MK2's, a 17-35mm 2.8 and a 50mm 1.2. That + Final Cut pro is all you need!

    AMAZING work Paul.

    Incredible work c:w. Your commitment is even greater than the quality of your visual work- and that is simply off the charts as it is. Lovely, lovely stuff...

    Wow, I'm inspired and amazed... and somewhat jealous. I just returned from shooting two weeks worth of footage on a humanitarian aid project myself and I know my shots didn't turn out this good. You're doing amazing work.

    Oh, and for some reason I don't think it's a coincidence that my birthday is next month.

    Great job you guys. Did u mainly use the 1.2's for the very shallow DOF shots and then the 28-75 for the rest? Was it the Tamron?
