Acting as a photographer of G2 studios we took on a week long trip to the site of the Sichuan earthquake in 2008. After the earthquake a NGO called Handicap International settled there to help rehabilitate earthquake victims.
They’re still there now, training nurses and teaching people the benefits of rehabilitation. Our main objective was to create:
1. Short 1 minute piece on the importance of rehabilitation (a commercial if you will) for CCTV and the hospital.
2. A longer 4 minute version including the above objective but also on the social problems of people with disabilities (PWD) in China.
3. A longer 8-10 minute piece with the same objectives as number 2.
Basically the 4 minute will just be an edit of our long documentary. We’re also creating an interactive website using all the video, sound, and photography that we capture there. With us we have Antoine from G2 as well as Martin doing video. Our sound guy Bruce from Chendu and me in charge of photography.
Day 1 we visited the camp which is a temporary hospital in Mianzhu. This hospital has been serving the towns and cities of Mianzhu county.

After visiting the hospital we met 2 of the women that we would be interviewing. These women were injured during the earthquake and can no longer walk.
