Editing your work is an essential part of being a filmmaker and will be assisted by an editor after completion of the Tour. Post production will be carried out through several Zoom sessions. You will be given the option of editing your Travel videos in Desktop/ Laptop or mobile phones. In the process you will be able to master the Apps like Premiere Pro, In shorts, Kinemaster and Canva.  During review sessions you will learn what editors are looking for and how you can package your work to tell your story properly.

The workshop is placed against the backdrop of an incredible journey through the High Himalaya and encountering the fascinating people of Kinnaur and Spiti. Since the theme of the workshop is ‘People and the Places’ the thrust will be not only on the scenic beauty but the beautiful people of the region and experience the slice of their lifestyle. Documentary film history is replete with various forms of travel films, so the intentions are not to invoke that ‘other’ journey. 

So in the Workshops thrust will be towards the rich cultural heritage, it is important to identify the existing cultural practices, document their current stage and track the pattern of change in the culture forms as we have seen during the course of the film and revive the threatened traditional cultural forms with the support of the community members. Creating awareness about the various cultural forms, especially among the youth, will help in better understanding and knowledge and induce responsible behavior, thus aiding towards its preservation. Thus the travelogue produced during the workshop can act as a platform for generating awareness and increasing popularity of the Himalayan cultural forms at both national and international levels.

Experienced crew and guides facilitate the smooth operations of the workshop. The crew is made up of professional filmmakers, cinematographer, editors and experienced local guides. Our close association with local NGO Mahila Kalyan Parishad (MKP) gives us the opportunity to observe the society from a very close range, besides creating opportunities for local people to get involved in a culture based responsible tourism.

A small piece of the world’s culture disappears with each day that passes. A language, a tradition, a festival, an item of clothing, we plan to record these memories onto Digital audio-visual medium in an effort to preserve them before they are erased forever through our curated Film Photo Tours

The Tru Tone Responsible Tourism Initiative has been rallying to protect and preserve India’s Intangible Cultural heritage, be it a community festival or a life cycle rituals or customs. We do it by celebrating and supporting people and planet-friendly travel companies, hotels and homestays. We do it by telling travellers about the wonderful journeys they can take. Hop on to find your own happy places.

Tru Tone Responsible Tourism (TRT) is curating Tours to promote tourism, in a manner that enhances opportunities for rural communities through community owned operations. In a conventional model of development for the sector, direct formal employment provides the major cash flow for local communities. In the `livelihoods’ approach being suggested, indirect participation in the value chain is being accorded equivalent importance, apart from an effort to demonstrate how privately held surplus real estate and private and publicly owned resources of communities can be leveraged for providing sustainable returns, also ensuring consistent value addition to the core resource of local communities, i.e. land. This strategic approach to optimizing benefits for local communities, works on an accurate assessment of the tourism value chain and creating linkages with local.
