Abhimanyu Aneja's video: Filmmaker s Perspective Behind Jodhpur Episode - 1 Musafir Onboard Travel Series

From paper to screen Musafir Onboard had its own Journey. It started with an Idea while I was shooting a vlog alone in Udaipur Rajasthan. I was travelling a lot and exploring different cities without a plan. Then I made a concept about a filmmaker who travels to different cities with a travel plan and showcases it. However Being that filmmaker wasn't easy as it comes with a certain way I shoot things, therefore I developed this concept commercially and I thought may be I will propose it to Nat Geo Travellers, But my strategy was to make couple of pilot episodes first to have a look and feel of the project. Eventually I started working on Jodhpur city and started developing a travel plan, I knew I wasn't going to do it alone like my other videos so I needed a team, and being in the business I have few friends in my network. I Called up Bhavaan Goswami who is a cinematographer and I told him about the idea. He came in with a lot of passion and energy and creativity. We met a lot of times to polish the concept and once we finalised the creatives, We worked on the technicals and decided to shoot it with a Samsung S7 egde phone, which saved a huge cost, however we strongly felt the need to get the interview bits on a camera so used his Sony PXWX70. After we finished the shoot, It was time to bring it on the edit table then I called my friend Hardik Madaan who is a Video editor, I showed him the footage and he showed me his excitement and energy for the project. He stitched it in a way that I couldn't complain considering the visuals, He stabilized and kept the shots longer which made video very smooth. Eventually when the edit was completed I proposed it to National Geographic Travellers through email however there was no response from them. A video made with so much passion and hard work deserves to be seen one way or another so I uploaded it for the world to see. For the great efforts and admirable work, Cheers to the Team.
