Daydreams - A Cinematic Roadtrip Adventure [ How to Film with GoPro ] 4K

Take a road trip with me and my friends as we film our way through Panama to some fun surf. Utilizing GoPros, I do my best to show you how to film what you see in the video. As for editing, I used the GoPro FX Reframe Plugin to turn 360 shots into this edit, as well as add lens correction to the GoPro footage.

I thought I am sick of travel videos. but this one - this is pure happiness and stoke. One of the best videos I saw in the past 2-3 years! hats off to you mr gopro.

[@walkonearthofficial]

What’s the most impressive about this is having that many friends to hang out with in your 30s or late 20s

[@castlesforsale]

Ha ha, speaking the truth

[@tombroszz]

It cant get any truth-ier than that:/

[@varshitjain5808]

Dont hyrt me more please!

[@thenativebrookie]

AGREED

[@Havealocalife]

Yeah im 24 and i have no friends lol

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Wow! This is the best GoPro edit I've seen!

[@tnygp]

exact thoughts

[@Atarxzhii809]

I know

[@calebvanriper1775]

me as well!

[@zacharyayers435]

Heyyy SnowboardProCamp!

[@RshokF]

Man I just wanted to thank you, this video really changed my life. I watched it for the first time about a year ago and since then I completely changed my approach to life. I started surfing and went on some crazy adventures with my friends. I couldn’t be happier, this video really inspired me to live my life to the fullest. Love from Italy

[@abekislevitz]

So cool to hear! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@thisishowwebingham]

Can't even begin to imagine the amount of time that went into putting this together. Absolutely amazing! Makes me glad you were stuck at home for a while ;)

[@abekislevitz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@icya5844]

Abe Kislevitz did you do any color correcting in editing programs or is this raw gopro footy?

[@allenjan9086]

yeah, this is amazing footage fr

[@NathanSantosNomad]

Okay, I've been watching KZbin for years and out of all the hundreds maybe thousands of hours of videos I have watched this video is by far the most beautifully produced, masterfully filmed and cleanly edited video I have ever seen. This video is so inspirational in filmmaking and motivational to live in the moment and with friends. Thank you!

[@abekislevitz]

Wow, thank you Nathan!

[@erikdoest2086]

I agree amazing job! Thanks for inspiring!

[@robertdeschu4367]

Yes I agree! I literally cried watching it.

[@morenomuller1161]

yes i totally agree. Thank you abe for making i think by far the best video I've seen on KZbin.

[@outtastock922]

This is a benchmark of video editing / production. Inspirational AF. Thanks, Abe.

[@davbunjr]

This production was incredibly inspiring for me as to what an adventure film can look like. The creativity, the shots, the transitions, the message. All done so well. Thank you for sharing this.

[@NorthBorders]

Duuuudee so inspired after watching this!

[@Nick-bn5sd]

Ayeeee North I love your street photography dude

[@vpk.metanoia]

damn north out here

[@massivewhale4630]

me too

[@yungprimer1]

12:54 - Such a good transition that I got goosebumps!

[@4amwaj]

same

[@CCCandymaster]

And the little "bling"

[@A.GuyMedia]

Wait a minute, it shows at 12:54 for me. Strange

[@jahgzvfx4591]

This film was so enjoyable and just a piece of art man. I loved every second of it

[@tmzkdlgos]

Friends, Memories, nature and challenge. Perfect.

[@ChristopherFarro]

So fun! That was such a vibe the whole way through! Stoked to be apart of it!

[@ellame2014]

I though it was day Eleven 😅😂

[@konstantinfreitag9316]

Whyyy can a relate soo good?

[@parkerwhitchurch3066]

Literally came to the comments to see if I was the only one lmao

[@riversdirect]

This is one of the most epic surfing videos I’ve ever seen. I love the cinematography and all the tech showcased in the video. This inspires me to work harder on my youtube channel to create more videos. You absolute earned a sub. Keep up the great work.

[@misterg1157]

That is the best cinematography I have ever seen on KZbin. Especially the creative drinking beer morphing into surfing at 12:50, and the 360 degree timelapse sunrise at 17:10. Incredible. I take my hat off to you.

[@iandeans-ski]

So rad, on so many levels. Your editing nuances are so subtle and enhance the experience that much more. A+, would watch again.

[@abekislevitz]

Ian Deans thanks Ian!

[@FilippoMasoni]

This goes on to my favorites. Such a seamless mix of vlog, silly moments with friends and some of the most epic cinematics I've seen! Please give us more of this Abe!

[@chinnywanders]

The majestic views gave me goosebumps. The cinematography that went into this is amazing. You can travel the world with gopros and all you need is inspiration (and some good editing skills) and you can make this. This video inspired me to go out and live my life but covid happened. Maybe one day when it's all over.

[@katielee7211]

This is insane! After years of watching travel cinematography and editing, this is BY FAR THE most inspirational, creative and high quality cinematography and editing I have ever seen on youtube! Congrats!

[@marcmcconnell8947]

This video just light up the fire in my heart about travel.

[@GavinKibby]

the creativity, effort, and time put into this video just shows the love and passion for making and creating content. I love this video and it has given me so much inspiration to be like this!

[@jamessearle5273]

I've watched this a number of times. I swear it gets better and better the more i watched it. Literally puts me in a vibe and i wanna get out there. killer stuff

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks James !

[@theartofpixels]

Abe, this is next level. I consider film the most difficult art there is. There are soooooooooo many ways to edit film and you just did a phenomenal job. I'm just starting out my journey of editing all the film i have taken the last few years of taking my 4runner around North America. I know it's a difficult road but in the end it will be so rewarding to leave this place showing your life's work for others to enjoy and hope they become inspired. Thanks for putting your time into this. It truly made my day.

[@jjmangel]

This video is honestly amazing and it’s a beautiful piece of art. It’s gorgeous and stunning and probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen in my life. Loved watching it

[@RakishRc]

21 mintues of epic Joy!! Absolutely inspiring and motivating vibe radiating from this video satisfied my emotions I hadn't felt in a while. Thanks abe!

[@OneSantiMeter]

I got chills watching you hit the first few waves. Beautiful work !

[@erinsuz9831]

I love everything about this, the editing, cinematography, & the tips of course!!!

[@lucasfr]

14:03 thats the single best transition that i have ever seen, good job mate Edit: The updated timestamp is 12:52

[@olegpuchkov119]

yes, yes, yes! Masterpiece

[@FelipeLorran10]

I Agree

[@waiea9847]

just thinking that and was looking to see if someone commented

[@BenWI]

lol check sam kolder's best drone clips video

[@finnhartford2600]

i think the transition is great, but I couldn't stop laughing thinking of what he looked like filming it.

[@MM9PROHDI1]

Watching it for the third day straight!! Can't get over this absolute masterpiece.Keep going brother Much love

[@fredjay1531]

just rediscovered abe once again. Use to watch his usc ski and snowboard edits religiously! Awesome how this group of friends have stuck together after college and still making sick edits! Would love to get remakes of the snow trips yall guys had from doing quirky things on the ski lifts to seeing matt cook do some gnarly flips/tricks!

[@lavapix]

Excellent video. The settings tips were a nice touch too. I know what all went into making this. That wave looked so fun.

[@CriisLuda]

Thats right, the gopro settings on screen are so helpfull and we apreciate so much you share it 🤙🏼👐🏼💯📸

[@bjmbjm6306]

@@CriisLuda thanks luda_cris! I’m sure you are not affiliated with Go-Pro at all... lmfao

[@ChrisRogers]

Damn this was so epic!!

[@Maxiking2211]

stunning visuals as always. it really shows that your took your time doing this. this is some cinematic stuff. Well done Abe

[@BluePacificMedia]

In a sea of drab selfie style “hey guys” videos, this was a breath of fresh air....amazing trip, brilliantly shot...thanks for taking us along for the ride. 🤙🍻🏄

Honestly guys this is one of my most favourite, if not THE most favourite video that I have ever watched on KZbin. I have low-key watched this video almost 10 times and it relaxes me every time I watch it. I am a 16 yr old from Australia and I aspire to be like yous one day and live life to the fullest while recording those precious memories...Thank you guys so much for such great content.

[@waleedmohammedsaidaltouqi5888]

This is sooo amazing i wanna live this type of life

[@TitusXfit]

this was the most beautiful film I have ever seen. From the film style to the color correction everything was put together to create a masterpiece. enjoyed every second of it man! Gave me goosebumps with those surf edits and sunrise time-lapses.

[@LassenPaulk]

everything about this was so magical! A true cinematic masterpiece

[@BarrelledDays]

Dooooood! First of all - WHAT A GREAT TRIP! And whoever was droning around killed it! Must needed material to consume man :) Our planet is just so full! Thanks for displaying it and keeping it real with the real “filter”. We all got this 🤘

[@jamez_gamez]

One of the best GoPro edits hands down. You always put out bangers!

[@abekislevitz]

🙌

[@AlexanderCSvensson]

I just LOVE how you tell this storyn not only with words but with the cameras. Felt involving and awesome. I have this issue where I often tend to think that a better camera will tell the better story. This definitely proves the point that it's not about that. It's about the story itself. No matter how you tell it. 🙌Lemme know when you get to Sweden and we'll do some crazy gopro stuff mate 😃This is super inspiring!

[@ThinLineMedia]

storyn :)

[@alexjozwa9821]

This is hands down one of the best videos I have ever watched. Incredibly well done.

[@eddiemcdonald4461]

Dude! This was one of the most peaceful and beautifully stitched together sequences I've seen.

[@andreiflorea2937]

Watched this during my morning coffee today. Such a great vibe. The ending gave me goosebumps! ❤️ you guys are great!

[@nilsfiggen5089]

[@yellowbug772]

I am totally stoked by watching this film!! Thanks for sharing this amazing experience.

[@nicolaskarlezi6751]

Best video i’ve seen ! It kept me the 20 minutes amazed. Congrats buddy.

[@jadendelfonso8821]

Possibly the best video I have seen on this platform. Ever.

[@NinadNDPFilms]

Been watching this for the last one month and it never fails to bring a wide smile on my face. Beauty

[@adriandiaz6486]

I have no words after watching this video. It's incredible.

[@vbianco8008]

I usually lose my focus with travel videos but yours kept me pretty engaged and on my toes for the next scene! Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing!

[@gioelenattirainieri1367]

You are my hero! I am an Italian guy, and as you know right now our countries are on their knees in front of what is happening all over the world. But it's your videos that awaken in me the desire to fight and dream again, beautiful days like the ones you told in this amazing video! I sent it to all my friends saying: "One day we will come back to do all this!" Thank you very much

[@elisaepstein6245]

Waaaaw just an incredible video!!!🤩

[@ashleysorrell4272]

Incredible footage and editing! What a spot to surf, ride and chill, wow.

[@onepumpedbysweat]

[@lucyzmija8707]

[@trevorwest1592]

Inspiring - one of the best vlog style - go-pro and color graded films on here!

[@MatinDadib]

This is so cinematic. Every frame is a painting

[@jisaakm]

Wooooow so awesome video, 20+ minutes of pure magic, thanks a lot for putting the settings on each gopro, really cool!! Is it possible that you make a tutorial on how you edit at least one of those clips, like: color correction, noise reduction, etc your editing skills are mindblowing man.

[@MilanDH]

Plus one on this!

[@Misha-tz4ve]

[@nguyenhoangvu9609]

You have made something extraordinary, the sunrise seem's like's it leap out the screen and feel like i were there, all the sensation, the feelings that we can prove only to watch this little daydreams, it makes me smile like an idiot and at the end i have taken a deep breath and start to think at how much we can feel realized living this beautiful little moments. i appreciate a lot, thank you.

[@martinnaujocks]

Abe, can you maybe consider putting a walk through together of some selected shots like you did in the past? Centered around your grading workflow starting with your in-camera settings! BTW, absolutely loved it! 😍😍😍

[@shayma95]

wow, this was recommended to me and i’m so glad it was

[@milebobton6349]

I am no gonna lie this is the best montage I’ve ever seen in my life. And I have seen GoPro originals....and this deserves to be on GoPro no joke

Amazing, day 5, just over the scale, its so,so good. You guys live thats for sure. Thanks for uploading.

[@mrvolksmad]

This was just amazing to watch.....living the life.

[@travisrathburn3633]

Where did the opening scene go? Scene of city noises, slowing clock and drone shot moving in on the beach and waves! That scene caught my attention to watch the whole thing multiple times!

[@electricnaturehiking]

This is an amazing cinematic edit and more than I ever imagined you could film with just two GoPros! Thank you for some filmmaking inspiration today! One question: For the aerial shots, what did you use? Was it a drone with a GoPro attached? I have a GoPro HERO9 and now I’m inspired to go try out some cinematic footage with it.

[@Tomasz.Nowacki]

Whenever I need some inspiration or motivation to go out and shoot or learn new things I come back to this video and instantly gain it back , thanks Abe for awesome video ❤

[@dimascelorio9106]

This video transmit a feeling of peace and nostalgic. Greatings from Ecuador

[@JasonTuno]

LOVE THIS!! So well done man. I'd love to shoot some stuff with you guys sometime! Based in LA, hit me up!

[@kazpaapzak8637]

I just bought a GoPro with a mouth mount and went surfing. I got all my footage up and that and it's all laggy in the playback. I know this has something to do with the HEVC filming mode and I know I can convert it to H.246. Just wanted to know the best process to convert and edit all this footage into a nice little montage?

[@mmofficial1447]

It’s probably because your processor isn’t big enough. I used to have this with my old Mac but I got a new one with a 2.6 Quad core processor and it is just fine.

[@neatexploring]

The vibes are immaculate 😍🙌🏄

[@carlosoca37]

This was beautiful, thank you so much for this masterpiece!
