Found this by accident yesterday.... And spent the following 2 hours watching your videos. Spoke to me very deeply. I started my channel very recently to document my onward travels. At 35 I'm giving up a career I've built over 15 years to live in the French Alps and travel Europe between seasons. The hints from this video were immensely helpful for me. So thank you for the effort you put into making these. I'll be keeping up to date.

“If it doesn’t add to the story don’t use slow motion.” Great tip! Great content thanks!

How to make travel videos!
1. Get out of the house
Edit: holy crap

[larryspisak]

Extremely well done. I've been a still photographer for over 40 years and found your video refreshed some of the basic tenets of good shooting.

[sanghamitramridha]

U make it sound so simple n smooth ... it’s actually a lot of work .. I tried using all those effects n went crazy following even 2 of those tips !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[valentinventures]

Christian showing em how it’s done!! You’re a really skilled videographer I can never downplay that, but I’m sure I’m not the first to say, it’s your charisma that won us over, the original fans. Whether you film on a GoPro or a top of the line DSLR I always watch your vids for the good vibes you bring to your audience. Positivity wins!!! The tools are ultimately just a means to capture that energy. Your energy, the energy of the place you’re travelling in. I’d much rather take travel advice from a person I can relate to and enjoy listening to than a sterile Expedia video. You’ve inspired me and my girlfriend to travel to quite a few places from your vlogs. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with all of us. #teamgetlost!!!!

THESE TIPS ARE INCREDIBLE!! the first one was the best, turning on the camera looks like a good idea.

[TheAdetutu]

I am watching this in 2021 and it feels like a course I paid for. Thank you so much. I love your work.

Gosh damn that camera strap tip... A+. I've never heard of that before and I'll definitely be using that in my travel films. Thanks so much!

[KarlRock]

Thanks Bro. Great tips. Here just trying to improve before a new trip.

[NaenMarkTravel]

This video was really helpful we just started about 2months ago and we started in Thailand. We are traveling to every single province in Thailand and this video is really helping us.

One thing I have noticed on travelling is you can't enjoy the travel while making a film.

As a new content creator, thank you for the tips! Throughout my years at school for photography, knowing your equipment was the most said tip.
