    Mind blowing,

    So good to see what a separate editor does with your stuff. Who did the edit? The pacing, the cuts, the tension it's truly brilliant.
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    I don't the guy's name but he did a brill job
  •  
  • Aki Pagratis 2 years ago

    Looks beautiful, Phil. Beautifully shot.
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    Cheers Tom. You have inspired me to spend all night out with my intervalometer. If I freeze to death it's your fault!

  •  
  • Gaurav Sharma 2 years ago
    Having been there for most of the shoot, I am really proud of this one! The vivacity, the ferocity & the chaos that is Delhi seeps through every frame of this! Kudos the the editing team & most specially to you Phil, this really is a fantastic video.

    Q. Are you gonna be tossing out your own edit of this as well? I'm sure there's a ton of footage you have that isn't used here...
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    Yes i will Gaurav

    Thanks for all your help!
  •  
  • Mark Nicholson plus 2 years ago
    I love the look you created with the 5D. The contrast and deep black level in midday footage really help convey the message of the piece.
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    they graded quite heavily
  •  
  • This is special! Fantastic!
  •  
  • Fernando Barrientos plus 2 years ago

  • Danial Haris 2 years ago
    Would you have use the 7D or the 5DMarkII if you had a choice?
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    I would have used the 7d for the slow motion
  •  
  • Cinestesia plus 2 years ago

  • Aaron Morrell plus 2 years ago
    To add my two cents-
    Description- 'Powerful' comes to mind. Some really poignant shots perfectly framing the narrative. Great work.
    Looking forward to a "shoot story" film.
  •  
  • Cathal Hegarty plus 2 years ago
    Very powerful.. at only minute and half long this film packs a mighty punch.. well impressed.. editing is top drawer..
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    cheers Cathal

  • Wiland Pinsdorf plus 2 years ago
    Excellent! Nice locations and organic shots.

    How many people on crew?
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    Me, director, producer (at times) and occasionally an assistant.

  • paul sherar 2 years ago
    love this look, and the title graphic in the beginning
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    yeah awesome graphics

  • WakeGirls.com pro 2 years ago
    Very powerful message. I loved the shots and editing.
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    thanks mate
  •  
  • Sumit Agarwal 2 years ago
    Spectacular work. I don't want to distract too much from the message and art of this (both indisputably top-notch!), but if you were to shoot this today would you choose the 5D again or the 7D?

    Delhi is such an amazing place to shoot! Some of this reminds me of the excellent transitional montage sequences in Monsoon Wedding... which is also a 16mm film that shows how you shoot is more important than what you shoot on!
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    maybe the 7d to get some slow motion
  •  
  • Lorne Guy 2 years ago
    You and that 5D work wonderfully. Seeing more and more reasons to shoot with it or the 7D
  •  
  • Whisper Productions plus 2 years ago
    This looks incredible. Too bad there is nothing you can do about climate change because it's not a man made problem. The gov. wants you to think that so you can submit to their authority.

    Providing clean water is something you can do though. So if you took the bit about climate change out this would be an incredible video.

    For someone who pays for this site, you should know that youtube garbage comments are left for youtube. Leave your political agenda out of this. No one wants to hear your conspiracy theories.

    Who edited this?
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    A very talented guy who I don't know the name of!
  •  
  • Attilio Cerqua plus 2 years ago
    The video is very nice and the technique is unquestionable, but the message is really significant. This aspect, for me, is the heart and strength of the Video.
    This video popularize the message in a prefect manner

    Complimenti, bellissimo.

  • MAX POLINSKY plus 2 years ago

    powerful message, we have the same problem here in australia, lack of water is not good, rising temperatures and draught
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    thanks Penelope. This series is of spots is being shot all over
  •  
  • rickflick 2 years ago
    Nice one Phil. And a big issue.
  •  
  • Jeff Lively 2 years ago
    Your DP work continues to inspire, but this is a different editing style from what I've seen you do before, impressive! Your last clip of Ishan on camera - and you hold the shot after he finishes talking - his body language is speaking volumes about his concern. You really nailed it. Greenpeace must be thrilled.
  • Jackson Miller 2 years ago
    Someone else edited it.
  •  
  • Emrys Roberts plus 2 years ago
    Amazing shots as usual Phil. I love the edit too. Who did that? :)
  •  
  • William Rich plus 2 years ago
    It is so encouraging to see this video Phil.
    We all know the fantastic images this camera is capable of..and there are so many test, music video's, and shoots in controlled environments shot with this camera on vimeo.. To see the camera used in a real-world full scale production is just awesome!
    Great job!!
  •  
  • Steve Weiss plus 2 years ago
    I've watched this video several times. It really has set the bar kind of high for both cinematography as well as post production. And it has a beginning, middle and end.

    This is why you have such a loyal fanbase, because you are the s##t my friend.
  • Philip Bloom pro 2 years ago
    Thanks sir. I forgive you the kicking me in the head in the pool last week!
  • Ian-T 2 years ago
    Ha ha...I got kicked in the head once. But I still can't make videos a fraction as good as this..(sigh).

    Well done.

    This was really great as always but to me, so frightening. Monsoon season a month and a half late??? What's next? Snow in Delhi?

  • Euan Preston 2 years ago
    Love it. Amazing work. Been looking forward to seeing this since you shot it.
  •  
  • MUZIEKTELEVISIE.NL 2 years ago
    I must say I find this one too your best piece. The places and the indian people are beautifully captured. Allthough the editing makes this a real intense experience, I would love it if you would make a long edit by yourself, because I have this slight idea there must be many more fantastic shots. I think your cinematography and this fantastic (but sad) country would make it the best video ever.

    Added to my Brilliance Breakfeast channel!

    (edit: just saw you already answered the question, can't wait for it!)

  • Docmorzy 2 years ago
    Perfect...
  •  
  • Mr.Bloom, you are annoyingly talented. I therefore request you post something awful (I can shoot it if you want) so that we all feel better about ourselves. Thanks!
  •  
  • Great job, Philip!

    One question: How happy were you with your slider? I'm thinking of getting a Glidetrack or investing in a little more pricey option.
  •  
  • Peter McKinnon 2 years ago
    Absolutely amazing. Inspired me to get off my ass and shoot more with my mk2. All your stuff does actually.

  • Aclara Promotions plus 2 years ago

    Reminiscent of Bourne! Very nice.
  •  
  • Brilliant, amazing, awesome! I love it!
    Great job Philip.
    BTW Which lens did you use?
    Thanks!
  •  
  • Wayne Avanson plus 2 years ago
    I remember your mentioning the trip to Delhi to do this Philip, then is all went quiet about the finished job. I thought, "Well, it'll turn up eventually and no doubt it'll look great as usual' However, now I've seen it, I wasn't actually prepared for just how bloody good it looks!
    What a classy piece if work, fantastic.

    Avey

    PS did I spot a city landscape shot from one of the towers in the Ras Masjid? Dehli's a great city. Completely bonkers of course but great never the less.
