on a serious note this feels like one of those...
The WIFE!!!
...this feels like one of those
movies whe they jump around and time
uh 2% battery left, swapping batteries
they jump around in time but the story is linear and nothing makes sense until
it's finished
that's the video I'm talking about
good morning you're watching travelvids.tv
well it might not be morning where you are but
it sure is where I am
welcome to Cape Town welcome to Long Street if you haven't seen the Long
Street video check out the card on top here but right now today we're talking
review videos I'm back all right two and a half three hours later I think so we
started up the series and a while ago I got four together people seem to like
what we're doing with that so I definitely want to take it on and
continue the idea of the concept today we will be doing a review video in the
centre of town at cameraland which I'm coming up to right now they've got a
cool little workspace and a coffee shop upstairs where I'm meeting mr. Barker
Morning! Office for the Day, what you think?
yeah that's pretty good
and we'll be looking at a video by RealMarv on Egypt
this is the video that I'm talking about it's a little bit different some of the
other videos that I've seen it's it's got some very edgy like editing some
hardcore cuts a lot of transitions that are probably pre-generated but it's done
in something that I could call a music video style so definitely done by how
would somebody who's got some pretty good editing skills not just just your
run of the mill edit. the thing that definitely makes this you really like
different is that the sound design is flawless the music changes according to
the environment the beats follow sort of the changes in the rhythm in the Edit
but especially like this going underwater now the music's got an
underwater sound and some it's a really really powerful tool when you're making
travel videos so think about your sound design how can you add in sound effects
and if you have the skills to edit the music too to suit your video even better
videos get oh yeah I've decided that I'm not going to be doing those like
reaction videos we are sit and watch your whole video trying to promote other
people's channels here so if you want to see this video or the rest of it then go
click on the thing about here and check it out for yourself all I want to do is
point out the stuff that makes this really cool in its own way points out
why I think other people should be seeing this and why it deserves more
views okay so this is a two in one video you don't get to see the two part which
is the meeting
started like me but try something else
rather than showing their entire video
every time thank you if it's if it it's also if we are truly helping other
people get viewership and vice versa then we need to entice them to go watch
it potentially on their channel each
other videographers be part of this is
the potential to grow and an area of future business yeah no no no you know
that isn't there at the moment and then we can add value by like yeah that's
where it's more important there's our ability to do upliftment and then we're
working on our pitch deck currently we've got about 13 headings means to
break it down to eight because we have a pitch to a French company who is very
interested in entrepreneurs in Africa and they're interested in seeing what
we've got to offer so putting our pitch deck together with a couple of other video
to support that for that but today's brainstorming about the problems and
solutions that we have in place already that's the paper work today
everything's been reduced down to a solid trello board with many slides yes
which we have to go through again probably between a hundred and five
hundred times it's hopefully not that many we'll see now let me set up for a
little bit of a review let's do it
I'm on our house yo I'm not a building bro
2% battery left this battery is not
much better
oh my god another flat battery flat Osmo flat canon flat MacBook
tell you what we're gonna do I choose to go up there the open house I'm in the
open house in Cape Town it's noisy my batteries are flat
this video is happening anyway nothing's gone according to plan I've run out of
batteries everywhere I go it's noisy the story I pulled up my cellphone to prove
that that is just as good a tool as any other to get a point across each time
end points that I would like to make in today's video is if you've got to make a
choice on the style of video that you're making when you're dedicated to making a
video you've got to just make it think of a style try and stick to that see it
through to the end get a point across and finish the thing put it out and move
on to the next video some people choose to talk a lot which is more like a vlog
style other people want to just do a music video style and that's exactly
what this video is here today
and I like the ending as well a very good use of
like subscribe this is actually the first video on that channel so it's a
good way to get the thing going get your channel going and have a nice clean sort
of call to action at the end so if you want us to look for you can't see where
you're going wrong or maybe we could give you some instant tips maybe you did
nothing wrong but yeah just jump in there how about have a have a comment
ask us to look at your videos you might be one of the top 10 in that month we
decide to review one thing that I did notice that I could say is be careful of
the type of music you choose if you waking the video for yourself in a style
that you want to share with your friends and that it's you can use whatever you
want but obviously if you're looking for sort of a broader sense of attention out
of your travel video like if you're trying to actually advertise would be an
influencer for somebody then definitely pay more attention to using some more
generic music also for monetization of a video
you know you can't have some swear words in there but it's your choice you're
making the video for the reason you're making it and ultimately at the end of
the day you can do whatever you want the main reason why you haven't seen
videos in their regular time slots is because I was in fact getting married
over this last weekend you know like they say a plumbers house is leaky a
painter's house is unpainted and videographers wedding is unfilmed
also had lots of catch up meetings with Darren to get our new product in place
which is coming more about that a bit later
right now I want to get back into the swing of just getting some nice regular
content focused on the reviewing and the showcasing should I say of other
people's travel videos
you know sometimes sometimes video-making this doesn't quite work out
even if you're having fun along the way speaking of which if you want to check
out a video that's related to this how to get into the right state of mind for
making a video check out this video this one here
