Haiti Earthquake Montage

A week after the devastating earthquake hit Haiti, Khalid Mohtaseb of Next Level Pictures was hired to shoot footage for two international networks. This is a montage of personal footage he shot of the aftermath during his spare time, in and around Port au Prince. He was in Haiti for a total of 6 days in which 2 of those days were spent traveling to and from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Due to the situation on the ground, all the footage was shot in 2 days, under direct sunlight and a great deal of pressure. As demanding as it was, it taught him how to pick shots on the fly, and in "not so perfect" lighting or shooting conditions.  
For the techies in the audience, the video was entirely shot with a Canon digital SLR camera.
