I wanna make a cool travel video so when I'm 80 I can watch it and say "Yeah. You lived a little."

@ChrisMustList 3 года назад

I'm with you - same for me! Hopefully I can make it to 80!!!

@moorissameritsebatjokro952 5 лет назад

Awesome tips for sure! 1. Find your style (360 all the time, or slow motion for example) 2. Select your shots, think about how you want to shoot and utilize the footage first, and stay steady 3. Bridge the gap (what’s the story in your travel vlog?) 4. What will save you the most time: use a timer in editing your videos!

Our motivation is exactly what you mentioned. We have jobs that don't tap into our creative side and making travel videos is one way to get that part of our brain going. Thanks for all your super useful tips.

Oh Gawd...You just described everything I did on a 34 day trip in the north of Australia. I wish I'd seen your videos before I started that trip. EVERYTHING you said to do was what I didn't do. Cheers Thomas for awesome advice. 😊

@EricZyla 7 лет назад

I just quit my job as analyst at a bank. I spent the last 10 years there while making some extra money on the side as a local musician. Now I'm moving to Thailand in two months. I enjoy the beauty of any creative process; whether it's song writing, drawing, catching a good photo, or video editing. My goal is to make creativity my life. I hope that some day I can make a career out of putting together moments that can touch people's emotions.

@victorialinel6533 6 лет назад

This was super motivating. I love capturing the small every day moments while I'm traveling. I think there's something really beautiful about it, and it makes me happy that I can share those moments through my footage with people, and maybe even inspire them to travel to a place so they can experience what I saw

@Andrew_marr 7 лет назад

As a landscape and travel photographer, I create videos on location to inspire people to grab their camera and get out and shoot photos. I’m doing this to share the stories behind my images and build a community of like minded creatives. Awesome tips here Thomas, I do many of them but the bonus tip of time boxing the editing is one I’m going to try and do for my next video, cheers mate!

Dude, i really like how you talk all about these psychological stuff like being confident and relaxed rather than going pure technical. I think this is the first step to really get someone doing such a cool thing like video editing. Can't wait for my ski trip to France and capture some moments, tho i only have a gopro 6.

@MichaelBanfield 6 лет назад

I honestly just want to capture time as it is. I love taking small video clips daily of just random stuff. Whether it's friends chatting on the couch, or just my empty apartment, things change so much and I would like to look back. Same with my travels, I want to remember everything and see and hear my friends and loved ones!

@KaterynaZiuz 6 лет назад

It's always interesting to have not only pictures from a trip, but something more. When you have tons of random videos, it's boring to watch them. But when you have 2-3 mins of a selected content - it brings you back to the trip and it's a really good memories. That's why I try to make such travel videos :)

Great tips! Thanks for sharing 👍 just made my first travel video :) still have a lot to learn, so I'm really grateful for creators like you who share their valuable experience :)

@haylynntan5222 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tips, it really helps. I just finished filming my very first travel video and I was very shy and awkward on the videos that I took shots of the surroundings more than myself. What makes me want to start making travel video is that I have always been not confident enough with myself on making decision in my life without doubting myself so I've decided to start pushing my limits these days to do something that I always thought about wanting to do but was too afraid to do , I hope in a few more videos coming up from my channel I can see myself growing better to be more confident with myself and not afraid of accepting challenges to improve myself .

I went to Cuba back in February, and I recorded hours worth of footage while I was there. I still haven't gotten around to editing a lot though because I feel so overwhelmed with how much footage I have. I'm going to try the "Use a timer" technique, and see if that helps me get through it. Wish me luck! -Michael

@homersimpson4331 7 лет назад

Hey, so I'm just on a trip and I need your help! After making a few videos I have figured that my films need way more faces. But the problem is should I film myself or just random people around me? Both is not that great I think because if you have a lot of random people you can't really tell a story that's going to be Interessent the whole video but I also have no camera man to film me and the dudes I travel with are not that interested in film so any Tipps? I'm really struggling with this...
