Rawalpindi | راولپِنڈى | Early morning street life | 2020

Rawalpindi in morning is best for walks and to capture the city in a unique way. It's one of it's kind experience to witness the city slowly getting into pace and the quietness transforming into noise.

This video will take you from Circular road to narrow streets towards Bhabra bazar and it's dense surroundings. You'll see the calmness of this noisy city. Usually I take pictures during my morning walks in Pindi but this time I wanted to capture something different. That's why I recorded moments by keeping the frame static and capturing the movement of different subjects getting ready for the day.

I recorded all footage in Slog3 which was such a pain to grade because it was so noisy. I still have to figure out how to grade log format, if you guys can share some tutorials or know some magic trick do let me know in comments down below, that would be great.

Apologies if you find the grade noisy, had to upload, nothing is meant to be perfect :)
Though I'll try to polish my skills.

I hope you liked a sort of experiment.

here are some more info/facts about Rawalpindi, enjoy!

Rawalpindi راولپِنڈى‎ commonly known as Pindi is a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Rawalpindi is adjacent to Pakistan's capital of Islamabad, and the two are jointly known as the "twin cities" on account of strong social and economic links between the cities. Rawalpindi is the fourth-largest city in Pakistan by population, while the larger Islamabad Rawalpindi metropolitan area is the country's third-largest metropolitan area.

Rawalpindi is located on the Pothohar Plateau, known for its ancient Buddhist heritage, especially in the neighbouring town of Taxila - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was destroyed during the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni before being taken over by Gakhars in 1493. In 1765, the ruling Gakhars were defeated as the city came under Sikh rule, and eventually became a major city within the Sikh Empire based in Lahore. The city was conquered by the British Raj in 1849, and in 1851 became the largest garrison town for the British Indian Army. Following the partition of British India in 1947, the city became home to the headquarters of Pakistan Army hence retaining its status as a major military city.
