The Trans-Siberian Railway, another dream come true! The world’s longest railway line starts from Moscow and runs 9,288 kilometers through seven time zones to Vladivostok. In May 2017 I was able to document this unique 16-day trip aboard the legendary Zarengold train together with my colleague Christopher Schmid. We traveled the route in the opposite direction and deviated a little from the original route (Trans-Mongolian Railway). Our journey took us along 7,923 km (nearly 5,000 miles) of rail from Beijing via Erlian, through the Gobi desert to Ulaanbaatar, on to Ulan-Ude, along Lake Baikal to Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan and finally to Moscow. From the rickshaw ride through Beijing, a night in a Mongolian yurt, a bath in the five degrees Celsius cold Lake Baikal and the legendary vodka tasting aboard the Zarengold train – I sum up the highlights in my new short “TRANSSIBERIAN DREAM”. All aboard!

LUT PACKAGE:
Because of the massive feedback and a lot of questions how I graded my short “Transsiberian Dream”, I decided to release some of the LUTs that I used for this project:
https://dennisschmelz.de/downloads.html
The LUTs work with all kind of cameras but your footage should be shot in a flat picture profile (not created for LOG) like Cine2 or Cine4 on Sony cameras or Technicolor Cinestyle on Canon.
After purchase you will get a Zip file with 6 LUTs (cube and look files). You can import and adjust the LUTs with every common editing software (Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Da Vinci Resolve, etc.).
