Raleigh India Expedition Overview
I’ve been back from the Raleigh India Expedition for a few months and I’ve been a busy bee producing their marketing department a number of videos to use on their website. They can be really useful to show potential volunteers what a Raleigh expedition can be like and also act as a great reminder for those that have been.
I’m a big fan of Raleigh having joined them myself as a venturer to Belize at the age of 18. If you haven’t heard of them they are a leading youth and education charity providing expeditions for young people from all walks of life, nationalities and ages to be all they can be, helping them develop new skills, friendships and volunteer to make a genuine difference to communities and environments across the world.
I took part on the summer 2010 expedition to India as videographer and loved the whole experience. I’ve produced 4 films in total. A Music Video produced on the fly whilst out in India, an Adventure Phase summary and the two videos below. All footage was shot on our Panasonic GH1.

An experiment. Slightly odd. This little video only contain photographs which were all taken over my three month period in summer 2010 during a Raleigh expedition to India.
I dedicate this video to my fellow Project Managers.

I will very shortly be on my travels to India as a videographer with Raleigh International. I’ll be away over the summer for over 10 weeks and will no doubt face a number of physical, technological and emotional challenges. Eeeeek! It will be monsoon season for a start and I’m not entirely sure what to expect.
To help me embrace everything India has to offer I’ve invested in a few new bits of camera gear. First and foremost a new camera. I recently purchased the Panasonic Lumix GH1 a video DSLR which I hope will offer plenty of versatility whilst being super light weight. I struggled to decide whether to purchase a DSLR shoulder mount or a steadicam to compliment my camera and contrary to popular opinion I’ve plumped for the steadicam and more specifically the Black Bird Stabiliser after reading many positive reviews. Scarily it still hasn’t arrived in the post yet and I have very little experience using camera stabalisers so that will definitely be a steep learning curve.
I’m also a little concerned about how I will charge up my batteries and back-up my footage since I will primarily be living in tents either in a remote Indian village or in the middle of a national park. I’ve been told I’ll have access to car chargers and I suppose
