In February 2005, for a video editing class I was taking at the time, I put together this short presentation about the tsunami that had struck Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and several other countries on December 26, 2004.

The video basically has two parts--the disaster as it unfolded, then the aftermath.

The song is "Casus Belli" by In the Nursery (from their 1993 soundtrack for the film, An Ambush of Ghosts.

The video was edited and compiled using Abode Premier version 6.

A side note: When I mention that the tsunami killed more people than the combined population of Farmington Hills, Southfield and Royal Oak--those are all suburbs of Detroit. I live in Royal Oak.

    Thanks! All of the source video came from various sites on the Internet, most notably the two I mention in the end credits (both of which are still up) at around the 4:04 mark of this video.

    Good job on the video and thanks for posting it here. It is so easy for us who were not directly impacted by the disaster to forget just how awful the event was and the suffering that still exists today.

    You raise a very good point, and I thank you for the feedback. One thing I forgot to mention: For this video editing class assignment, the length was restricted to 4 or 5 minutes, as opposed to an hour or even two that most TV documentaries about the disaster got. So I didn't have the chance to put together a more detailed presentation.
