Poubha in ProgressWe began with some overnight research and planning for our multimedia production. I met my subject, Lok Chitrakar to get an idea of the basic flow of the presentation - issues, concerns, future etc. Lok is a traditional Poubha artist, a religious Nepali art form that is losing out to the commercial variety of Thanga. Tourists love the later, without knowing its roots in Poubha.
I shot Lok in his studio and worked with group member Rajesh to record an interview in the local Nepali language. Rajesh edited the interview. The piece needed to be no more than 3 minutes so I editied my video footage to create a coherent piece from the original 20 minute interview and additional studio footage.Step 3 was to design a web presentation which we worked on overnight. I also thought of adding images of Poubha paintings in a slideshow, set to traditional devotional music for a multimedia production.
Here is the final product uploaded to the Panos website:
