Trip Highlights
The helicopter flying over mountain peaks. Aerial sounds or music layer over sweeping valley views below. Flying straight over Kali Gandaki Gorge now, those cliff walls really show how deep that thing goes. Approaching Mustang’s deserts comes next, villages scattered here and there to show scale.
Descending toward landing gets shaky cam treatment. You feel that ground connection when the skids touch dirt. Cut to temple shots fast-paced. People washing at all 108 spouts, water everywhere getting splashed around. Tight frames on Mukti Kunda’s details, Jwala Mai’s flames licking up close.
Architecture gets its moment – carved pillars, weathered stonework holding up roofs. Prayer wheels turning, hands moving beads, monks chanting low. Helicopter pulls away for wide scenic exit shot.
- Landscape shrinks smaller as we climb altitude until everything just blends into haze and clouds.
- Last frame stays empty sky for couple seconds before cutting out.
- Anyway that’s the plan laid out rough.
- Gives editors room to work but covers key beats.
- Need to storyboard exact sequence later maybe.
- Depends on light conditions during shoot days honestly.
- That’s where it stands right now.
- No promises on the prayer rituals part though – locals don’t always love cameras in their face during that stuff.
