Video Tour of China

By Sam Parsons

This is the first in a short series of videos documenting our October 2015 tour of China with the Road Scholars company. It's been over five months since we returned home but I've only found time to work on it the past two months, off and on. As I explain in the opening of the video, this one is about sightseeing – as in mostly ancient sites. I will cover food, people, transportation, etc., in later installments.
Tech stuff: I shot this in a mix of HD and 4k using a Panasonic GH4 camera (and occasionally my iPhone 6!), and several Panasonic lenses including the 12-35mm f2.8 zoom. Audio was recorded primarily with a Rode VideoMic Pro but I also used the built-in camera mics and a Zoom H1. PremierePro, AfterEffects, Audition, and Photoshop were all used in post production.
