Kabootarbaazi - An age old tradition from Delhi 6 | Documentary Short Film

Though the title is pretty self explanatory ,there is a lot that people don't know about the tradition of "Kabootarbaazi", we talked to people who are living this lifestyle and tried to capture it in it's rawest form. The significance of 26th January in Old Delhi and how people in 21st century are still fond of an age old tradition and even spend years preparing for an annual event involving Pigeons, Music and participants from different areas of life who share their love for a tradition that has transformed into a sort of competitive sport over the years.

[@rajeshmakhijani4910]

Nice look. What camera lenses did you use. Sound is clean too. What is your audio setup. What recording formats and bit rates did you use. Did u do extensive color grading since one of you is a DI colorist

[@streetfeathercollective]

We used Nikon d850 with sigma 35mm 1.4 and Sony rx100 mark 5. Sound we recorded mic sound directly to camera and zoom h1 for ambience sound. Yes we color graded this film.
