It's been quite sometime that I lay my hands on my Canon 600D especially to shoot videos. I do often click some photos, but to take it out to make a video has been a rare event in last few months.
I've shifted to a new city, Mysore. I am living at outskirts of the city near a bird sanctuary. This allows me to have a closer look at nature around and to rediscover my relationship with nature. I've learnt a lot about and from nature. I've also renewed my connection with so many birds, trees, butterflies and insects I meet everyday.
However, as its happening almost everywhere, in name of human development we are killing nature. Here it was no different. I could see so many instances of nature being destroyed due to our activities. I wanted to do something and the least I could do was to capture the emotions and present it as a short.
This short film came as a result of that. I cared not for technicals, lens changing, aperture or shutter speed. I was too focused with the idea in my head.
Certainly, I could not give it the best possible look and editing. But I do hope it conveys the emotions I wish to bring out. Enjoy the movie and do your bit. Stop activities that you personally do to harm nature and try to raise awareness about the issue. Most importantly, get closer to nature and try to find that lost connection we had with it. It does change life amazingly. It did to mine. I am learning new ways everyday to reduce my impact on nature and finding newer ways to deepen my relationship with it. Enjoy the short ! :-)
