2014 Chinese New Year Pictorial Report !


It was Chinese new year the last three days in Asia - 2014 is "the year of the Horse" - and, for once, today's D&M update is something different for this week-end, coming from a "real" Oriental land! These colorful pictures shot in Bangkok Chinatown last night will give you an idea of the atmosphere during this 2014 Chinese new year!

In addition, i also filmed a HD video at Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, Bangkok most important Chinese temple. I'm pretty happy with the result, here is why: the whole video - except the 15 sec opening shot - is filmed in just one long sequence shot, i.e a long travelling inside the temple with no cut. It last 8.30 min and doing a one shot travelling in this temple on Chinese New Year with all the people who were there and succeed to have a filming quite smooth with all the temple steps, people going in and out, etc...was not obvious, so i've been pretty lucky on this one. Specially considering that i had a friend waiting for me outside and i couldn't take the time to shoot a second try. 

Below are the pics and the video. Choose really to see it in HD 1080P and full screen mode to enjoy the atmosphere of that very special evening!
