Hello! We were invited by Grey to for hike to Mt. Pinatubo on April 8 and it took a while to finally finish the video but here it is! Haha!
I wanted to evoke the feeling of wonder and adventure through the song choice and treatment. Just a few dialogues here and there and mostly visuals and music. The songs I chose for this are a few of my favorites from a decade ago.
1. Arcade Fire - Wake up
2. Architecture from Helsinki - Escapee
3. Rogue Wave - Lake Michigan
4. Rogue Valley - The Wolves and the Ravens
It was our first time meeting Tito Deng, Steph, and Adrian. They were easy to be around and we all clicked instantly. Grey is our schoolmate from art school and the times we actually hung out together was less than 5 times. Haha
It wasn't crowded when we hiked because it was a Monday. The 4x4 took about 2 hours including the stopover at Toblerone Hills and another 2 hour trek to reach the crater. They say Mt. Pinatubo is a beginner friendly hike, but it was still a bit tiring because of the heat and the bags we were carrying. So it's really better to pack light and bring an extra shirt aside from water and snacks. Overall, it was a fun trip and would definitely go on another hike again sometime. :D
