Here is another short video which we shot very fast while driving by a place called Dudhia in Darjeeling district (Also West Bengal :) )
It is a small river that later joins the Mahananda River. The Mahananda River is the order between Nepal ind India in West Bengal, but the Mahananda also flows into Bangladesh.

I love that this river is a tributary to the Mahananda river, which borders Nepal and India, but also flows into Bangladesh. I'm struck by the fast moving roar of the river, its grayness, which reminds me (oddly?) of glacial waters, and the borrowing of foot movements from our filmshoot at the Saalach. I find the movement and how it is shot more dynamic as you start to leave the large rock and cross from one rock to another.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the patterns of the first rock, the exploration of the feet on it, the sand on the bottom of the feet, the sound of the water, the widening of the shot so I see how fast the water is rushing behind (makes it feel a bit dangerous/precarious). Somehow the tension or sense of precariousness and balance and exploration that was created for me on the first rock is lost when you leave it. I enjoy the playful toes at the end splashing in the water, though it has a very different feel for me then the beginning. The end feels more like the "beautiful" happy go-lucky.
