Koji Food & Wine Bar

a side project, since opening day

I've been lucky to work with Koji from the day it opened. I took it on as a side project, a chance to put what I've learned into practice and see what it could do for a new brand. I plan, shoot and edit the content: founder videos, cinematic food shots, recipes and day-to-day posts. Helping a new place get noticed from zero is the work I enjoy most.

About

Hi, I'm Rohit (Buddhiram) Bhattarai. I've been making videos for about four and a half years. I freelanced for production houses for two and a half of those, then joined Pulse Wave Media as Creative Head.

At Pulse Wave I plan shoots, film, edit and deal with clients. Most days I'm behind the camera, grading footage or building a set. The work is a mix of documentaries, brand videos and reels.

Journey

Present

Creative Head, Pulse Wave Media

Running shoots from planning to final edit.

~2.5 Years

Freelance Videographer

Took whatever shoots I could get and learned on the job.

Start

First Steps in Videography

Bought my first camera and started filming anything I could.

My kit

what comes to every shoot

This is the setup I use for my own films and for client work. Light enough to carry up a trek, solid enough for a full day on set.

Sony FX30My main camera. I shoot almost everything on it, and it gives me the flexibility to get the best result in any light.
Sigma 18–50mm f/2.8The lens that lives on my camera. It covers wide shots to close-ups, so I rarely need to swap.
Zhiyun Weebill SKeeps moving shots smooth, from walk-and-talks to following food out of the kitchen.
Hollyland Lark M1Wireless mics for clean sound in interviews and founder videos.
TripodFor steady interviews, top-down food shots and time-lapses.
RGB lightsLet me set the colour and mood of a scene, day or night.
I shoot what I'd want to watch.Rohit Bhattarai · Kathmandu
