http://vimeo.com/9608637 A week after the devastating earthquake hit Haiti, I was hired to shoot ENG footage for two international networks. This is a montage of personal footage I shot of the aftermath during my spare time, in and around Port au Prince. We were in Haiti for a total of 6 days in which 2 of those days were spent traveling to and from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Due to the situation on the ground, all the footage was shot in 2 days, under direct sunlight and a great deal of pressure. As demanding as it was, it taught me how to pick shots on the fly, and in "not so perfect" lighting or shooting conditions. In regards to equipment, we traveled very lightly as security and logistics were our main concerns at that time. Once again the Kessler Pocket Dolly proved to be an essential tool in capturing my images. Lenses used: Canon 16-35 f2.8 L-series Canon 70-200 f2.8 L-series Canon 24-70 f2.8 L-series Locations: Port au Prince, Leogane, Carrefour Producer: Susan Modaress Music: Eric Wollo Editing/ Color grading: Khalid Mohtaseb If you have any questions/ comments feel free to post them or email me at khalid@nextlevelpictures.com Let me know what you guys think http://www.vimeo.com/9608637

Thanks for the kind words. The song is by Nikos and the title is Secret Love. I will for sure post updates as soon as the doc is cut.

The documentary was about the current political and economical situation in both countries we interviewed Authors and Scholars such as Alaa Al Aswany (Author of Yakobian Building) as well as Lebanese Historian Fawwaz Traboulsi (author of A History of Modern Lebanon) I knew we had to get great visuals to better contrast the dry subjects.

Thanks guys!

This past August a few friends and I set off to Cairo, Egypt and Beirut, Lebanon for 6 weeks to shoot a documentary. This is a montage of some of the footage we shot. Check it out http://vimeo.com/7058755 If you have any questions/comments feel free to post them.
