How do you like this new style of scenic travel documentary? Would you like to see more of it in the future? Here is my LUT package from India: dennisschmelz.de/lut-package-indien-dennis-schmelz-dop 🎨
if you dub this video (I think a video is not enough for this. I called a master paces documentary.) this documentary in hindi language he gained more views it's my Perspective but i should say it's amazing love from india
@@DennisSchmelz You have just begun, and its good that you started from "the end", you've seen the celebration of final truth, i.e. death. Now you need to witness celebration of life also. You need to visit Mathura/Vrindavan for Holi, Anandpur Saheb for Hola Mahalla, Maharashtra for Ganpati festival and Dahi Handi, Kerala for Thrissur Pooram, Gujarat for Garba, Bengal for Durga Pooja and Ayodhya for Diwali, Varanasi again for Dev Dipawali. These are just a few famous festivals, and there are still more at many places. Your hunger for photography will surely get saturated in India. I remember the title of a book by famous journalist Sir Mark Tully - " No Full Stops in India."
Ok, i remember now something I missed in above comment. If you're an artist (of any sort), and you haven't visited Khajuraho, your journey of art remains incomplete, and you can only understand the value of this statement once you visit there, because if you have missed something, you'll never know what you have missed. Imagine a place where you find a thousand Mona Lisas... carved in stone... and. their magical smiles taking a new look with change of every degree of angle of your camera. By the way, I'm just a layman, not an artist, still I'm confident of my view, if I can find this sea of art so impressive, i just can't imagine how much joy and satisfaction will it give to a person involved in arts, to a connoisseur.
Hey bro, this is the best travel documentary I've seen till date about India, I've been there in Varanasi and felt the same kind of a cultural shock and always I'm getting a feeling like Varanasi calling me back. thanks for this piece of art :)
Appreciate your work really, and the best thing about your video for me is that every indian understands what you were up to and we all appreciate it. ❤🫡
In India, it is not about East meets the West, rather “your past meets the present, and present features the future” 🎉 India is more than what is visually see, one needs to have their third eye 👁️ to see the unseen, learn what needs to be learned.
As Indian I appreciate your work to show the good and bad things . Garbage , overpopulation , and pollution is our responsibility and we must correct our mistakes and make our Country neat and clean. Thank you 👍
Yes you are right my brother but india has some beautiful cities like Indore , Hydrabad , Noida , gurugram, dholera, vesu (Surat) , gift city , chandigarh and now ayodhya and many more 😊
@@mrUtKarsh_55321 and uska hme proud v hona chahiye and jo v city pollute hai use clean Krna chahiye...... And I love my country and we have the most beautiful tourist places.......

I am from India and I must say that you have done a great job in explaining India as a whole. Great Storytelling, Excellent Camera work and super super amazing post-production., You are a great artist mate. Loveeed it :) Namaste :)
Will he do the same for france past n present? And about the crimes n dark side of paris? Saint denis nanterre areas? Never, He will just show u tour Eiffel.
@@Show_what_I_Love As I mentioned before, I always aim to highlight contrasts, showing both the good and the bad, which you can find in almost every country. In India, however, the extremes feel especially pronounced. The first few minutes of the video focus on India’s beautiful sides. I love India and would never portray just one side of it. Life is all about contrast.
@@DennisSchmelz yes please do that for france turkey USA UK ( with the riots etc). Show their both sides also and then we will see your honesty. It’s easy to do all this about India for views. UP or ganga or mumbai is not the whole india. No offence here. But if you talk about morals and principals then they should not be selective for one country. Thanks.
@@DennisSchmelzThank you for this. The point is that death is a part of the cycle - cycle of life- death- rebirth. Hope you get a chance to travel south of India too. And the north east. You will see India has many more cultures in it and many more shades🙂
As an Indian, I want to see more such content from you. Us Indians are not offended rather we would want to see entire spectrum of my country. India never claimed to be the perfect place . It has 1.4 billion problems and also hope for better future of entire mankind. Come find yourself in India
Beautiful documentary..And this is what our country is.We accept our flaws and we take pride in our culture as well. Thank you for showing every aspect in this.
This was amazing. Loved this video concept. I love when people produce a doc style film showcasing not only the good but also the dark stories of a location. It brings more realism to a journey inside a location and really tells the story of the people. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Without any expectations India will be very great country to travel, everything you see is unique and teach something new in life , if we travel with a mentality of dirty, Chaos, crowdy as the image of India, you will miss out something valuable, because Lotus always grows in dirty muddy water , it's not India is dirty, it's a politics that sucks and they are least concerned about development, but people here are so patriotic and they preserved our culture and hospitality is best given above all , please don't judge us only because of few bad pages of our country, read the entire book and surely you will get wisdom.
Varanasi is the oldest city known to mankind. Most of it's traditions are still intact. Varanasi gives you an enlightened that you will never have experienced. Here you will find clarity, inspiration, meaning of life and how you should live it !!! By the way... Loved your film. ❤
@@shakuntalashankar8124 bro iam banarasi, and Kashi is clean and good if you travel in main city centre and video shown here is of ghats of holy river Ganga so bodies are burned beside it
Man! 🤩 This is the best movie I have seen on my country, i don’t have words. Your cinematography and story telling was eccentric and beautiful. Your choice of doing voiceover yourself was absolutely 100% correct. ☮️✌️
Hallo lieber Dennis, Dieses Format ist der Hammer, natürlich mehr von Deinen Reisen genau in dieser Art..! Dein Film hat mich unheimlich berührt und sehr nachdenklich gemacht, was unser Leben eigentlich bedeutet. Mal davon abgesehen welch tolle Handschrift du besitzt..!
Wow, danke für deine offenen Worte lieber Peter. Genau das hat die Reise auch bei mir ausgelöst. Freut mich sehr, dass ich dieses Gefühl übertragen konnte! 🤍
Watching the video almost feels like watching a short film that has millions of views. The low amount of views is not doing the masterpiece of a video any justice.
Good lord bro Sony Burano? Thing is a beast. Beautiful work. You either hate or love India, there is no in between. I personally love it. Such a rich and beautiful country.
India is a unique country where a person can see and feel everything... good, bad, clean, dirty, wealth, poverty, culture etc.This is a country where even death can be felt while living, for this you can visit Varanasi. I have experienced all this in this country
Harmony in Chaos... exceeds unnatural vibe like something is very shivering, chilling but divine... trying to say "Life is Motion as well as Death"...you can metaphorically feel "The Life Circle"...such a great bitter cold Experience.
Beautifully made 🎥❤ and yea Varanasi / Banaras is more than just a place. Changed my whole perspective of life after staying there for 10 days. I got a step closer to death from that moment after Varanasi.
This is a very well-made film. The Sony Burano camera is excellent. Taking this camera to India was very risky, me thinks, but I’ve found ordinary people to be very honest and that India is deep, wide and full of variety… the spice of life… thanks!
it looks like you just scratched the surface.... Travel from north to south and west to east... you will find 60 countries in 1 and many many different experiences. Your this video is amazing and you beautifully captured the light and shadow of India. will wait for more...
@@DennisSchmelz Sorry for misunderstanding was asking from monaseum girl. Great video one thing about varanasi it's really unique city it's the most holy and sacred place in the world can also say global spiritual capital but not just long ago varanasi also was the place of greatest thugs in the world. It's like Varanasi has universal character like positive and negative exist side by side so is sacredness and thuggery or good and evil like it's two parallel side of Ganga river which runs along time immemorial
Thanks for capturing the different shades and contrast of my country so elegantly. Varanasi either truly transforms one's perspective on life and death or absolutely stretches them to a breaking point. Truly an enthralling watch and magnificent work, Dennis.
managing 1.4 billion people country with two nuke having rival neighbors one(China) is expansionist one(Pakistan) is world's cancer (islamisc jhehad) producing country not only that in this 1.4 billion country have more then 600 languages and 22 main languages and more then that numbers of different culture, having very less oil reserve so mostly dependable on other countries for energy to maintain this huge 1.4 billion country, this all the problems also need to maintain with democracy. And democracy means not like China where on party rule is their not like America where one step ahead it, two party rule, its 1200 political parties in India so political management would be another challenge..now imagine, if any country in the world would have face one out of these problem what would the condition of them?history is saying maximum 20 years,after it any country can collaps,or can be handled by China or USA indirectly but india is deffrent thing..with this all challenges, India is following independent foreign policy as well...its easy to critises india on pollution, on hygiene on numbers of things but do any country have 5% chance to survive in this conditions independently?, BIG NO...and you know what is the best part of India? Indians know that people are so racist with them, they are making joke on them, but still Indians will welcome those troller with love and respect..thats the values of India, thats the values of SANATAN,,,,,you can hate or you can love india and hindus..but you can never survive without india..that's the fact..
My goodness what a picture what a picture how the picture is coming with so much clarity and the colour oh my God it's 8k and I love the camera most important thing is the editing one of the best videos I have ever seen😊
Did you pay to those local artists such as the one dressed as Shiva whose photos you have been using and marketing for your documentary? You know that you can't use close up photos of those people without actually taking their consent and paying for it. Great work but do it the right way. You know that you can't do this in Germany without being sued for millions of Euros. Don't abuse the system there just bcs you had the camera to click anyone. Go back and pay to the artist after taking their permission or remove their close up shots from everywhere. India is not for free. Try doing that in backward Germany and you will face the heat
Vielen, vielen Dank, lieber Dennis! Du gibst so viel mehr als nur einen Film. Du schenkst Menschlichkeit, Gefühle, Umdenken und so viel Wahrheit. Du motivierst gute Menschen, sich weiterzuentwickeln und besser zu werden. Welch eine wunderschöne Würde in einem so jungen Leben!
If you want to know about the Vedic Dharm (Hinduism) and its God, then study the Upanishads and the Vedas, the main scriptures of the Vedic Dharm. You will find a different world in Vedas and Upanishads.🕉️🚩🇮🇳❤️
If you seen the optimistic thing..then you can find out lots of contrast..you have seen pollution, garbage on the road and water.. unhygienic, overpopulation, social gap between in society in respect of economy... it's true, no doubt and we have to change it...but you know our Bharatiya Sanatani Culture has borned and come from this land ,water and this nature from more than 7000 years ago...we never borrowed it from other land and we protect it and taken it with current every situation..we never persecuted any people or society with base of religious and their believes...you know even jews are living in Indian from 2000 years with out any persecution,,where Roman..Muslims even Nazi s era in Germany had been strongly persecuted jews..modern history of Europe is the best example for it..Today German people never talking about this darkest period in ww2,openly ,what they had actually did with human civilization...but those concentration camp...holo cost,documents.. photo's are the biggest evidence ,that what they had actually done ... India have never been done anything like that in its 7000 years history..we are not only tolerate people ,but also accepted everyone views...
Hach Dennis............ 🥺🤯 Soooo lange drauf gewartet und nicht enttäuscht worden..... DANKE! Es war die schönste viertel Stunde meines Tages. 😍 Die persönlichen Videos stehen dir auch sehr gut zu Gesicht! Gerne mehr davon.
Out of chaos stars are born, out of too much order hitlers are born (Not a criticism, just an observation). West & westerners tend to see India only from the outside. The colours, smell, dances, architectures, wild life, mess, trash, garbage chaos, poverty etc... but they fail to see and understand the deeper complexities and spontaneity of Bharat. Everything is temporary and nothing can be controlled nor be fixed in this plane of reality.
Amazing work, Dennis! The contrast between the colourful Bollywood scenes and the sombre realities of Varanasi was striking. Did you find any particular moment or interaction in India that changed your perspective on life?
6:51 when you see the materialistic happiness and colourfullness on the same side of burning dead bodies filled with desire of living another day....This realisation was meant to be happened... That's the story of manikarnika ghat 🙏🏻🤧
Dennis, this is so heartwrenchingly calming. I'm in a similar space right now, but as an Indian experiencing a culture shock in the west. The way you have communicated your experience is exactly the tug I needed in my leash of grounding awareness. Thank you for sharing! 🥺
European countries are stealing India's culture by giving it new names, like making plates and bowls from leaves or mixing turmeric in milk and giving it a completely different name. If you want to take it, go ahead, we don't mind sharing. Our scriptures and religion teach us that sharing leads to growth, so we have no problem with it. But please, don't steal it like this. Jai shree ram ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Great Photography !!!! I hope you learnt a lot in India about life and death and it able to reconnect you to the eternal truth . Lots of love from India ❤❤❤
From ancient practices to architecture, idols, scriptures Bharat only provide a platform for Humans to come up with interpretation of their own , thats the best way of reaching supreme consciousness . Its a mysterious land .
life is too short to explore everything but atleast one should try to understand life and Varanasi is the best place to experience the happiness and grief of life in understanding what truly a human is
What an amazing video Dennis! I have myself never visited Varanasi but man I get chills seeing those shots. I'm an Indian myself who has grown up with a very western mindset when it come to the things I'm chasing in life and trying to build a good life and only the last two years have been phenomenal in understanding my own culture. The part in the video where you ask the question 'did she live a good life?' 'was she happy?' is such an intriguing question rather, like I started asking myself due to life circumstances these questions that 'what does a happy life look like really?' What came to me was happiness is a very Western concept and I then turned back to understand what goes on our in most of the Indian minds and what our culture advises is that we live for our karma and dharma, dharma as its explained is doing our duty. So, I assume she must've done her duty (whatever that would've been) while her time on this planet Earth and if she did it with honesty and integrity that adds onto her either good or bad Karma which is carried on this life and the next so it's all a chain of the life cycle. And in India we also believe in the concept of re-birth which is also something very deep which basically means we'll be reincarnated again to live another life and we cannot really live it all or do it all in one life in co-relation to YOLO western concept of living life. I've realised that's also one of the reasons why Indians are so kind and try to do good to other humans because of the Karma and Dharma mindset (not considering the bad things that happen here cuz of modern day problems like poverty and that follows on) It's something I've also started to learn more about my own country's culture and philosophy of life, it's giving me more life and meaning than ever! Jai Hind!
Hello namaste brother love you from Varanasi india❤. You specially to plan trip to travel uttrakhand , Himachal Pradesh, jammu and kashmir, Sikkim, Kerala, Gujarat, meghalya and Arunachal Pradesh ❤
deep short movie with a great leanings for new visitors to India. I see in your video that you have curiosity of knowing the meaning in life so I recommend you to meet some Jain guru/monks in Gujrat or Rajasthan or may be some other part of the south India and talk with them. You will find true essence and meaning.
How do you like this new style of scenic travel documentary? Would you like to see more of it in the future?

Outstanding ❤❤❤ this is going viral i can bet
That's why someone said "India is not just a country it's a whole world in it". Absolutely loved it ❤
Totally love this quote, it's so true.
@@DennisSchmelz You have just begun, and its good that you started from "the end", you've seen the celebration of final truth, i.e. death. Now you need to witness celebration of life also. You need to visit Mathura/Vrindavan for Holi, Anandpur Saheb for Hola Mahalla, Maharashtra for Ganpati festival and Dahi Handi, Kerala for Thrissur Pooram, Gujarat for Garba, Bengal for Durga Pooja and Ayodhya for Diwali, Varanasi again for Dev Dipawali. These are just a few famous festivals, and there are still more at many places. Your hunger for photography will surely get saturated in India. I remember the title of a book by famous journalist Sir Mark Tully - " No Full Stops in India."

Ok, i remember now something I missed in above comment.
If you're an artist (of any sort), and you haven't visited Khajuraho, your journey of art remains incomplete, and you can only understand the value of this statement once you visit there, because if you have missed something, you'll never know what you have missed. Imagine a place where you find a thousand Mona Lisas... carved in stone... and. their magical smiles taking a new look with change of every degree of angle of your camera.
By the way, I'm just a layman, not an artist, still I'm confident of my view, if I can find this sea of art so impressive, i just can't imagine how much joy and satisfaction will it give to a person involved in arts, to a connoisseur.
India is itself a mini world

managing 1.4 billion people country with two nuke having rival neighbors one(China) is expansionist one(Pakistan) is world's cancer (islamisc jhehad) producing country not only that in this 1.4 billion country have more then 600 languages and 22 main languages and more then that numbers of different culture, having very less oil reserve so mostly dependable on other countries for energy to maintain this huge 1.4 billion country, this all the problems also need to maintain with democracy. And democracy means not like China where on party rule is their not like America where one step ahead it, two party rule, its 1200 political parties in India so political management would be another challenge..now imagine, if any country in the world would have face one out of these problem what would the condition of them?history is saying maximum 20 years,after it any country can collaps,or can be handled by China or USA indirectly but india is deffrent thing..with this all challenges, India is following independent foreign policy as well...its easy to critises india on pollution, on hygiene on numbers of things but do any country have 5% chance to survive in this conditions independently?, BIG NO...and you know what is the best part of India? Indians know that people are so racist with them, they are making joke on them, but still Indians will welcome those troller with love and respect..thats the values of India, thats the values of SANATAN,,,,,you can hate or you can love india and hindus..but you can never survive without india..that's the fact..
My goodness what a picture what a picture how the picture is coming with so much clarity and the colour oh my God it's 8k and I love the camera most important thing is the editing one of the best videos I have ever seen😊
Love to hear that, thank you so much!
Best Cinematic Shots ive ever seen in YT Your work is wonderful brother.🙂
Thank you so much man!
Did you pay to those local artists such as the one dressed as Shiva whose photos you have been using and marketing for your documentary? You know that you can't use close up photos of those people without actually taking their consent and paying for it. Great work but do it the right way. You know that you can't do this in Germany without being sued for millions of Euros. Don't abuse the system there just bcs you had the camera to click anyone. Go back and pay to the artist after taking their permission or remove their close up shots from everywhere. India is not for free. Try doing that in backward Germany and you will face the heat
Vielen, vielen Dank, lieber Dennis! Du gibst so viel mehr als nur einen Film. Du schenkst Menschlichkeit, Gefühle, Umdenken und so viel Wahrheit. Du motivierst gute Menschen, sich weiterzuentwickeln und besser zu werden. Welch eine wunderschöne Würde in einem so jungen Leben!
Wow, vielen Dank für deine Worte und dein Feedback. Das freut mich wahnsinnig zu hören! 🙏
If you want to know about the Vedic Dharm (Hinduism) and its God, then study the Upanishads and the Vedas, the main scriptures of the Vedic Dharm. You will find a different world in Vedas and Upanishads.🕉️🚩🇮🇳❤️
Dude’s photography skills are unmatched
If you seen the optimistic thing..then you can find out lots of contrast..you have seen pollution, garbage on the road and water.. unhygienic, overpopulation, social gap between in society in respect of economy... it's true, no doubt and we have to change it...but you know our Bharatiya Sanatani Culture has borned and come from this land ,water and this nature from more than 7000 years ago...we never borrowed it from other land and we protect it and taken it with current every situation..we never persecuted any people or society with base of religious and their believes...you know even jews are living in Indian from 2000 years with out any persecution,,where Roman..Muslims even Nazi s era in Germany had been strongly persecuted jews..modern history of Europe is the best example for it..Today German people never talking about this darkest period in ww2,openly ,what they had actually did with human civilization...but those concentration camp...holo cost,documents.. photo's are the biggest evidence ,that what they had actually done ...
India have never been done anything like that in its 7000 years history..we are not only tolerate people ,but also accepted everyone views...
Fantastische Aufnahmen, beeindruckende Bilder und insgesamt einfach perfekt gemacht.
Tausend Dank für dein Feedback. Da steckt so viel Arbeit, umso mehr freut es mich das zu hören! :)
Hach Dennis............ 🥺🤯 Soooo lange drauf gewartet und nicht enttäuscht worden..... DANKE! Es war die schönste viertel Stunde meines Tages. 😍 Die persönlichen Videos stehen dir auch sehr gut zu Gesicht! Gerne mehr davon.
Danke mein Lieber, das freut mich riesig zu hören. Und mega, dass ich dir "die schönste viertel Stunde deines Tages" bescheren konnte! :)
Out of chaos stars are born, out of too much order hitlers are born (Not a criticism, just an observation). West & westerners tend to see India only from the outside. The colours, smell, dances, architectures, wild life, mess, trash, garbage chaos, poverty etc... but they fail to see and understand the deeper complexities and spontaneity of Bharat. Everything is temporary and nothing can be controlled nor be fixed in this plane of reality.
Amazing work, Dennis! The contrast between the colourful Bollywood scenes and the sombre realities of Varanasi was striking. Did you find any particular moment or interaction in India that changed your perspective on life?
Thank you very much. My perspective on death has changed dramatically. Visiting Varanasi helped me lose some of my fear and find a sense of peace.
5:50 it's not ganges It's Ganga... correct your pronounciation
Exactly
6:51 when you see the materialistic happiness and colourfullness on the same side of burning dead bodies filled with desire of living another day....This realisation was meant to be happened... That's the story of manikarnika ghat 🙏🏻🤧
Come to prayagraj ❤ January 14 2025 almost 40cr people coming
India is full of surprises, the video was soo well made! loved it!>>>
Bro you make awesome content shooting music etc
Dennis, this is so heartwrenchingly calming. I'm in a similar space right now, but as an Indian experiencing a culture shock in the west. The way you have communicated your experience is exactly the tug I needed in my leash of grounding awareness. Thank you for sharing! 🥺
Thank you for your feedback. It's all about perspective.
European countries are stealing India's culture by giving it new names, like making plates and bowls from leaves or mixing turmeric in milk and giving it a completely different name. If you want to take it, go ahead, we don't mind sharing. Our scriptures and religion teach us that sharing leads to growth, so we have no problem with it. But please, don't steal it like this. Jai shree ram ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Great Photography !!!! I hope you learnt a lot in India about life and death and it able to reconnect you to the eternal truth .
Lots of love from India ❤❤❤
You are incredible 😲 just i wanna say amazing 👏
love from varanasi❣
Best wishes to Varanasi from Germany 🙂
You missed MODERN BHARAT 😂😂
Culture bro not technologies ❤
Daily Dose of Interneeeeeeeeeeeeeettttzzzzz
🥳
This is all Hypocrisy. if you want to know about what is real hindu dharma. you should read 'vedas'
From ancient practices to architecture, idols, scriptures Bharat only provide a platform for Humans to come up with interpretation of their own , thats the best way of reaching supreme consciousness .
Its a mysterious land .
Sagenhaft, Dennis. Hut ab, das ist ein Meisterwerk. Du wirst es noch weit bringen. Grüße aus Gotha.
@@johnbeck2020 Danke dir und beste Grüße nach Gotha aus Italien ✌️
life is too short to explore everything but atleast one should try to understand life and Varanasi is the best place to experience the happiness and grief of life in understanding what truly a human is
the cinematography and story telling is top notch..........kudos brother its wonderfully made ❤
Thank you so much 🤩
Why every foreign UA-camr shows india and other tropical countries in a pale filter
Amazingly done.. but only one thing...not a million stories to tell... there is more than 1.5 billion stories to tell ❤
Hehe, you're probably right! 👍
@@DennisSchmelz maybe
What an amazing video Dennis! I have myself never visited Varanasi but man I get chills seeing those shots. I'm an Indian myself who has grown up with a very western mindset when it come to the things I'm chasing in life and trying to build a good life and only the last two years have been phenomenal in understanding my own culture. The part in the video where you ask the question 'did she live a good life?' 'was she happy?' is such an intriguing question rather, like I started asking myself due to life circumstances these questions that 'what does a happy life look like really?' What came to me was happiness is a very Western concept and I then turned back to understand what goes on our in most of the Indian minds and what our culture advises is that we live for our karma and dharma, dharma as its explained is doing our duty. So, I assume she must've done her duty (whatever that would've been) while her time on this planet Earth and if she did it with honesty and integrity that adds onto her either good or bad Karma which is carried on this life and the next so it's all a chain of the life cycle. And in India we also believe in the concept of re-birth which is also something very deep which basically means we'll be reincarnated again to live another life and we cannot really live it all or do it all in one life in co-relation to YOLO western concept of living life. I've realised that's also one of the reasons why Indians are so kind and try to do good to other humans because of the Karma and Dharma mindset (not considering the bad things that happen here cuz of modern day problems like poverty and that follows on) It's something I've also started to learn more about my own country's culture and philosophy of life, it's giving me more life and meaning than ever! Jai Hind!
Thank you so much for your words!
Excellent work ❤🎉
Welcome to India 🇮🇳
What a video ! Are you still here ?
No, I was there in February. But I will come back next year, probably for Kumbh Mela.
@@DennisSchmelzi am from Varanasi

Masterpiece!
Thanks!
Hello namaste brother love you from Varanasi india❤. You specially to plan trip to travel uttrakhand , Himachal Pradesh, jammu and kashmir, Sikkim, Kerala, Gujarat, meghalya and Arunachal Pradesh ❤
we need more of these kind of videos! definitly dude! Love from India!
More to come! ✌️
deep short movie with a great leanings for new visitors to India. I see in your video that you have curiosity of knowing the meaning in life so I recommend you to meet some Jain guru/monks in Gujrat or Rajasthan or may be some other part of the south India and talk with them. You will find true essence and meaning.
Man the quality and the color grading is on top ...🥰
True that
Thank you so much, I created a LUT package for LOG footage - you can find it here: dennisschmelz.de/lut-package-indien-dennis-schmelz-dop
