My Journey To Chernobyl - documentary project (* unfinished project *)

Hello everyone,

I am making a long Blu-ray disc of photo and video footage from my trip to Chernobyl. The disc is going to include several documentaries about the Chernobyl Disaster edited for better pacing and removing redundancy.

Then it will show video footage from my tour there. After that is will show a photo slide show and then some additional video coverage on the disaster that I liked. To top it all off I will include one more documentary edited for better pacing.

The video will be 5-6 hours long and most of it will be HD quality content, that is why it will need to go on Blu-ray. I am almost done with the project already. I have been working on it since 2012. I plan to upload it as a torrent, but I haven’t done that before so it will be a learning experience. I used Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10 to make it so far.

Are you guys interested? Is this legal? I will find the list of documentaries I used. Some are from the Discovery Channel. Others are from the National Geographic channel and news broadcasts.

It will be totally free of course.

I dunno, he posted it in "Other Fan Projects", sounds alright to me.

A few samples from your original footage would look nice, just to give people a taste of what they're gonna get.

Ok, I won't continue to work on it until February as I have too much else going on until then.

Sounds interesting to me.  I saw a documentary ages ago and one of the strangest things I remember about it was from one of the photographers who was there.  All the images had streak like artifacts from the radiation interacting with the negatives inside the camera.  Really eerie.

Using your own footage? Probably.

Using footage you taped off TV? Probably not.

I'm no expert, though.
