Thanks to everyone who sent in questions for this video about the making of the Journey to the End of the World series! You can become a member of the channel here: RU-vid.com/karlwatson18/join If you have any more questions about travel filmmaking, please comment below, as I'll be doing another video in the coming weeks that focuses more broadly on travel videos rather than questions specific to Antarctica. The music website I mentioned is Musicbed: share.mscbd.fm/karlwatsondocs Also I've just launched RU-vid Memberships, this is a way to support the channel and get access to exclusive content, early access to films, priority access to tours, members only live chats and more. It's the same set up as my Patreon, just mirroring it here to make it easier for people to access and support the channel. Cheers :) Karl
hi I'm from China and my name is Li. I watched the vlog video you posted on RU-vid and really like this way of traveling. I also have a dream of living and traveling around the world. If you haven't posted it on Chinese video platforms, I will translate and upload your video to Chinese video platforms to share with more people. Do you agree? Of course, I will mark your RU-vid account and video address. Looking forward to your reply.
Creó que no tienen permiso para pisar territorio Argentino ya que somos enemigos históricos es más deberíamos expulsar la embajada de Reino unido de Argentina ya que no aporta nada al país más que muerte y sufrimiento saben lo que creen los Argentinos y los demás países que son propagadores de saqueó muerte y destrucción son gente mala son malas personas.
Good morning Karl and Happy Late Birthday. I am writing to you today because I wanted to let you know that recently I had open heart surgery and all is good and I am recovering however, I wanted to thank you for your videos and what you do. I had my iPad with me all the time and while I was at The Cleveland Clinic my wife and I would watch only your videos. They provided us an escape and a way to journey from my hospital bed to parts of the world I never seen. This had made such a difference in our lives and my recovery. We would watch video after video and although it hurt to laugh it was well worth it. We hope to one day join you in your travels for that would be a dream come true. Thank you very much Karl and we are looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe, may God Bless you and cheers my friend.
So interesting to hear you talk about your process! It's really cool how much thought you put into each different element that add up to such a compelling experience for the viewer :)
Unreal insight to your editing workflow! The map edit is beautiful, I hadn’t even thought it was just from a photograph when watching the original video 🤯🤝
Nice explanation of the editing process. I see you well on doing more and more (live) tutorials and workshops. Also, what's crazy is that you actually know 20 more people who have 10k+ to spend on a trip (and some also have more to drunkenly splashing on a bidding to put hands on the boat steering wheel, as if being in Antartica itself is not enough). That bit was a mood killer.
Lekker Karl! Have been watching your videos since your "First time in Africa" 7 years ago and it's been a privilege to see your journey. It reminds me of SV Delos' epic journey they were sailing before they started a family. Thanks for making the effort in sharing your memories and taking the leap in doing it full time! From a cold Capetown, cheers mate!
Thank you for the interesting behind the scenes. Each of your films is a highlight, but Patagonia/Antarctica was simply phenomenal. The storytelling, the images, the music 😍 I felt like I was there myself. Thank you for this journey to the end of the world (and all the other trips over the last 10 years).
Great insights of how much work and afford goes into a video you create. Pulling my hat! You are really a master creator! Thanks for letting us be part of your incredible adventures through your work! Love it to the bits! 👍🙂 Cheers Jens
Excellent video, great to hear you explain your craft and all the little details that went into making the film! Congrats on this milestone trip, its a long way from HK2NY to Antarctica!
Love the behind the scenes look. Was one of those wondering about the drone shots as have heard of the process scientists have to go through to fly there, never mind tourists! Fab series, took me back to so many special memories of my November 2019 trip. Your snow conditions etc looked very similar but we had even better weather for the six days between Drake Crossings
Love these extra vids! Just went to Patreon and realized I don't think i'm a Patreon anymore 🤷♂ I think I got a new CC. Anyway, thought I'd give the YT Members thing a try and see how that works out. Thanks for sharing this extra content!
I worked in Antarctica in 2000 before I could afford a digital camera. A different world, you have to overexpose film slightly or the ice looks grey. Slide film is very very sensitive to light and were not happy unless exposure was spot on. A few slide films didn't come out and some films snapped inside the cassette despite being under my coat. I guess even expensive US mil spec coats have limited protection at minus 70 windchill 😂😂
LOOK AT THAT RING!!! 😍😍😍 Karl, you’re the shit and we love you and Mrs. Watson. Hoping to catch you in the real life soon! ❤ Your Seattle Besties, Mary and Erik
Sorry @karlwatsondocs I missed the part where you say Paddy was on the tour. I watched his videos and he never mentioned it once or showed much of you in there so I didn’t know. Love the docs. Cheers
@@attagirltravelsyes he said that but he didn’t clarify he was part of the tour group or booked the trip through Karl. You watch Karl’s videos and you can see a lot of paddy in the group so makes sense but paddy’s video defiantly seemed like was join Michael on Michael’s trip
Great video I always watch all the documentaries they feel like cinematic movies and I love them all. Just one question How do you organize and download all the footage for a good editing workflow in such a big project. I struggle with that as an editor.
As someone who's leading to make youtube travel docs myself this was super helpful, where do you get the original vector maps from & how do you balance recording everything with taking time to take it all in?
The videos were amazing, but I was left feeling really disappointed with James. He obviously couldn't be bothered to get a personal video from Bryan Adams for you, despite it being your 40th birthday .... Fair play to you for not using this video to draw focus on how disappointed you must have been with him.
Loved the video. Thanks, Karl! It was great to know what goes behind your amazing videos. Just a suggestion: You can take bits from all the other footage, turn it into RU-vid Shorts and publish them. As a marketer, I have seen firsthand how Shorts lead to more subscribers and views. Worth a shot, I guess.
Great video, first time seeing your channel (my Antarctica algorithm sent me your way!) subscribed to see more travel, and more of these excellent, insightful travel video tips video. I was on Quark’s Ultramarine in Antarctica, a couple of months after you, what an experience, and yes, there’s a video!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KyojbPKyDs.html
1. Buy a projector screen. 2. Project stock footage of penguins, glaciers etc. 3. Wear a big coat. 4. Go "brrr" every now and again. Great videos by the way!
