VIDEO: Bamboo Installation - A Workshop In Kathmandu
Good morning from Nepal!
I recently planned and hosted a workshop for building with Bamboo in Kathmandu. The idea was to get people together, share skills and create something. You can read the story of the planning here.
This is what came out of it! (After my second more or less successful battle with Adobe Premiere Pro)
Enjoy!
The workshop was a full success and I hope that all of the participants enjoyed it (pretty sure). Sadly, I managed to get food poisoning just the day before, spend the whole night on the toilet and therefore felt really weak throughout the day. Luckily, my friend rocked the workshop alone and I went upstairs every hour or so, to check the progress, film some footage and get back to bed. So the only downside was, that I could not help in the building progress, which I would have loved to do.
Please be gentle, it is only my second ever-edited video - damn, I soon cannot take this as an excuse anymore :)
It was beautiful to see people getting together, having fun together, sharing their skills and working on a little project like this. I feel that in the time of digital media, skype meetings and virtual reality, it is even more important to just get together from time to time and share a little mission.
Would love to hear your feedback! I hope that at one point, I will be able to finance projects like this with money generated by Steemit! How awesome would that be?!
Get together, go create!
The editing is wonderful, you should defintely keep going! Can i ask which camera/ drone you used? Also, i've been really interesting in working with bamboo, since i saw a video about chinese construction workers building scaffolding out of it. It seems cheap and durable. Unfortunately, it's not really viable in Denmark i believe :)
Thank you :) I am shooting with a Fuji XT20, this thing is such a beast. I am mainly doing photography and just recently got into video. Got a Mavic Pro since two weeks, this was actually the second flight - there is a lot of space for improvement! Bamboo is a crazy material. One of these poles was 1.50€ it is insane..
I'm more than happy to upvote original content.
@originalworks
Nice editing, would be nice to get hold of a bamboo that big to create nice stuff out of it.
Thanks :) it is an awesome material!
build build constructor thats what I like : )
if I have just had a bamboo floor fitted, as the one above, but on concrete. It was floated as your video and glued with wood pva glue. I noticed the installers did not put spacers down the sides. The floor does not look very good, there are large gaps between the planks in some areas, altho others are tight together. Already these gaps are filling with dirt and dust and do not look nice at all. When i mentioned to the installer he just said, yes it has spread overnight but that is what happens with tongue and groove, you should have bought a clicklock wood. Is this true? I dont really know what to do, any advice please
Hi, I am sorry but I have no idea where you have seen a bamboo floor. Although I have already seen beautiful crafted bamboo floors without any major gaps. As always when constructing wooden floors, its crucial to leave the material inside of the room for a few days so it can expand/shrink according to the average room temperature. But I think this was not your problem. Ask google, I am sure you will find answers :)
Felicitaciones muy bueno su proyecto, espero siga adelante, yo se de bambú porque soy egresada del año 1988 del IUTy. y mi trabajo como tesis de grado sobre el bambú me obligo a investigar todo lo relacionado con la misma
