This is awesome. When you were at the second temple and it was so crowded, you did an awesome job with the hard cuts to make it feel frenzied and "crowded." Not sure if that was intentional or not, but it worked.

What's that drink you are having at the beginning? It didn't look familiar.

Also, I dig the music.

"Airplane Selfie" -awesome moment. Also, Romanian boy band -funny stuff. These are definitely getting better and better.

Great work!

Cool! it's by far my favorite video yet so far so i'm glad you guys liked it :D It was intentional with the hard cuts at the second place - I'm glad it came across as intended!

At the begining, it's Thai red bull - the original thing. Tastes sweeter and has no gas but it's pretty awesome.

I've been trying to include more humor and funny moments to make it more personable.

Thanks again for all the compliments!

You're very funny and endearing. I think this could be a path for you.

What do you use for editing the video/music? I would like to learn to do this.

Thank you! It's just a fun challenge for now, we'll see where that leads. Traveling is definitely something I enjoy a lot so figuring out a way to make this sustainable would be pretty cool.

I edit using Final Cut Pro. I made the switch at the same time I started to vlog: I figured if I was going to do it seriously, might as well bring out the serious tools. I bet I use about 5% of the functionality. Honestly, iMovie was good enough for 99% of what I wanted to do and it's super easy and intuitive to learn. Try it out if you have a Mac, you'll see there isn't much to learn and whenever there's a road block, a little YouTubing goes a long way.

Was Final Cut Pro expensive?

elizabeth  ·  3181 days ago  ·  link  ·  

it's 300$ on the app store, not that bad :)

Everything TNG said, times 3.772! I love your videos!

Loved the slap cut at the end, too.

3722? Is that some specific number? Honestly, I'm hoping this to be some NASA stuff.

It's secret. I could tell you, buuuuut...

Please don't. I have so much to live for. So many stories untold!
