Cam Khao Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 You did a great job with that. Although your village looks to be quite a bit bigger than mine, I certainly see everything in that video regularly, if not daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gwynt Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks for reinforcing my personal statement that "Real Thailand" is not the tourist areas but village life. Unfortunately I still have to earn a crust, in the industrial areas of Thailand, but all with the premise of being to retire to exactly to what you show in the film, thanks again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackJD Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 What is the name of the village? How far from Udon Thani? I lived in Nonsung for 4 years - very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneday Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 thank you for appreciating my short film it is all filmed in my village that I have lived in for 7 years I have never made a video before but its what surrounds me every day very boring for some but amazingly beautiful and fulfilling for me The minute my girl heard the music in this video she came bounding downstairs to see what I was watching. She loved the video. She wanted to know what software you used to edit the video and what large town and province this was in. Thanks for sharing.

LeeThayer Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Excellent video, leave out the sticky rice part and the weaving, it would look like here in the south as well, although the village it was filmed at is a bit larger than the area I am in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamhar Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was pretty skeptical when i clicked on the link, you know how TV can be but thats a good a promotional vid for TL as I've seen. Thanks for sharing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Congratulations. I have sent it to friends and family in Australia to give them an idea of real Thai life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimlord Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thank you very much. Excellent, and like many others replying to this post, it's very similar to where I am in Northern Thailand, although a lot bigger than my village too. Thanks again, great job.

videomaster Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 thank you for appreciating my short film it is all filmed in my village that I have lived in for 7 years I have never made a video before but its what surrounds me every day very boring for some but amazingly beautiful and fulfilling for me After working 35 years in the moviebusiness, hard to believe that you make this movie by your self from your first time. What about the link to Youtube refering to the same movie made by a video compagnie in Khon Kaen? When I'm wrong, contact me to make movies together in Thailand.

rct99q Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Nicely done, looks to be just West of Khoen Khaen region (Chulabhorn Dam area). Certainly depicts the way of life in this region (albeit a slightly larger city then the one I live in). Have never thought to video "A day in the life" like this, selfishly, as the more people see what it is truly like the more people may want to live here, and I kind of like my solitude up here in the North East. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JSatGS Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wonderful video. I shared it just now with my American friends. I hope they can understand why I too share fondness for the Issan Region. So much so, I have a wife from there and plan to retire there. I only wish more of us could appreciate life and the peace within it that you portray in the video. Of course some place else so they don't change the wonderfulness of Issan. 555 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertson468 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really enjoyed your video and thank you very much for sharing it with us on TV. You clearly have a natural talent for filming and editing and might want to offer your services to TAT? I believe your video is a more realistic portrayal of life in Thailand and would be far more attractive than the current over commercialised holiday adverts they currently show. Well done and again, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthaihomestay Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 thankyou for all your positive comments and I will try to answer all of your questions here.I made the video 90 % in my village which is called ban don chang 20 killometers outside of khon kaen.and to answer mr moviemaster yes I did film everything myself however my computer skills are basic to say the least my friends at ensure edited the film with my direction,but if the job offer is still on I ll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devolad Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi Realthaihomestay, final version looks awesome! (met you about 5 weeks ago in a pub in Nong Khai - kiwi bloke). Jogdi (sp???)with the homestay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videomaster Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) and to answer mr moviemaster yes I did film everything myself however my computer skills are basic to say the least my friends at ensure edited the film with my direction,but if the job offer is still on I ll take it Just as I thought it would be..... I offer no job, as a hobbyist I make movies about each province in Thailand ... sorry, so far all with Dutch voice-over. Yet there might be a collaboration between the two of us in the future.

Hardie Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Even if you didn't do the editing, still it's good compostition and camera control, rare for a rookie who wants to push all the buttons. My only problem is with the editing, actually, where it fades quickly to white before starting a new scene, instead of doing a true dissolve, a bit of a strange transitional flash effect. Cut it in half and make sure you've got rights to the music, and I'd say it'd be worth submitting at some small film fests. Voice-over might be nice, maybe something poetic....
