Dry Africa Video Uploaded

I managed to get my video of Chobe (Botswana) and Etosha (Namibia) edited while traveling between Swakopmund and Jo'burg. It's called "Dry Africa". At this time of year, the desert is taking over and the only available water is along river courses and at waterholes. Some of the waterholes are natural, and some are manmade. The natural waterholes also start to dry up late in the dry season, but some of the manmade waterholes have wells with solar powered pumps to keep them active during the driest months. These waterholes become the focus of all the activity. This film was mastered in 4K on RED and has been scaled down to a size that is presentable on the internet. Most of the footage was shot with a Sigma 50-500 lens (Bigma) and a Sigma 17-70 lens. This is a rough cut and will be updated at a later date. Editing 4k in the field on a MacBook Pro can be challenging and time consuming.

You can see the video either on my Vimeo channel at: https://vimeo.com/73585259 or on my website in the "Shot on RED" section.

Music for this video is Expeditionary by Kevin MacLeod
