Great video Erik. I live at the north end of Shawnigan. I often wish I could help some of the visitors doing the Cowichan 8. You did the hardest part of the ride. Those hills through the Sooke Wilderness Trail are so steep. The ride from Shawnigan to Lake Cowichan is dead flat. I do hope you manage to come back.

Hey, most of this video was actually shot on my Canon EOS R. But for my GoPro (hero 5) I shoot on protune settings. I think the key is to have the color profile set to flat, white balance set to native, iso set to 400 and shutter at auto. if you have nd filters you can set the shutter which is much nicer, but I don't use those. Oh and I use superwide 4k so I can do some stabilization in post. I hope that helps!

@@erikandko Great Trip. Everything I thought it would be. I did it labour day long weekend I met 1 person at Retta Rd where it goes onto the BC Hydro power lines. Filming went really well except I had it on 60 FPM so it is really fast and ther was no sound can't figure that one out. Still learning

I'm officially a fan! But if I may give a suggestion, I think it's better if you just talk to us directly rather than play videos talk in background, it will feel like documentary, but when you talk to us directly it feels so real❤
@erikandko 11 ай бұрын
Thanks for the advice! We have been trying to film ourselves in front of the camera more. It just takes a little more foresight into what the video is going to be about while your shooting. The voiceovers are a bit of a crunch for us as we learn the storytelling craft.

In the description, you put down reserve instead of preserve. There are actually some trails that are located in the national park portion of Denali. Savage River, Eielson Visitor Center, and Wonder Lake offer maintained hiking trails, and at Riley Creek, there are several maintained trails including a hike up to Mt. Healy Overlook trail.

I don't think we were clear enough on that point. There are trails in the park but none that you are allowed to camp on. In order to do any backcountry camping you have to be in one of the zones, at least thats what the rangers told us.
