Thanks for watching!

[@meganrae2903]

These are some of the best footage ive ever seen of Siargao. Amazing!

[@ColinTS]

Wow, thanks Megan! Have you spent a good amount of time there?

[@meganrae2903]

Ive visited the island a year and a half ago and fell in love with it. Now working on investing there so i can live there half the year! :)

[@ColinTS]

Hehe beautiful, I'm not surprised. The charming pull of that island is undeniable. Surfs up! Good luck!

[@applehair995]

I didn't realize Siargao is this beautiful. I went there to see Cloud Nine, but stayed more in the nearby islands like Bukas Grande, Sohoton Cove, and Naked island becauseI find just as beautiful as Palawan. This is the best filming I've seen about an island. You've raised the bar in promotional presentation. Thank you for sharing Siargao to us.

[@ColinTS]

I too was really amazed with the islands diversity in beauty. I discovered a lot by spending most of my days motor biking around the island. Thanks for watching and big thanks for your awesome comments. I will continue to film the world!

[@ErnestMarvinEsteban]

Me too. I wasn't really expecting nuch before going to Siargao. I thought it's just a place for surfing but after staying there for almost 3 days I am now in love with it. The beauty of the place, the people and lack of pollution in the streets! Enjoyed the hotel and the 3 islands Guyam, Daku and Naked. Also went to Sugba lagoon and the cave (forgot what it's called). I will be coming back soon!

[@bernshopper]

It's a well made video ! Love it so much ! I am from Siargao living in Switzerland,. This video help me , to feel better against stress here abroad.

[@ColinTS]

+bernshopper Wow, so glad it had that impact for you! Take care and remember that Switzerland is incredibly beautiful in its own way!

[@AK-fx7rh]

You came here at a most serene & uncongested time. Tourists are swarming now, & Siargao is not the same as it was 2yrs ago... Btw, your scenes are epic!

[@ColinTS]

Wow, thanks for sharing this insight

[@krissk8236]

Beautiful,Brilliant!...One of the most beautiful You Tube Video Featuring Siargao! of The Philippines..Welldone lush video...

[@ColinTS]

+Kriss K Thanks a bunch Kriss, that means a lot! I will keep producing more lush videos. Please subscribe and share the video with your pals!

[@Killy-ki8my]

Amazing video. I was there. It is so magical. I am in love with the Philippines. I am going back this year for sure. Love your video!

[@ColinTS]

+Kiliana Vink Siargao is magical, isn't it?! My thoughts exactly. Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed it :) Feel free to subscribe if you would like to see more videos like these in the future :) Take care, Kiliana!

[@Killy-ki8my]

+lush video yes it is truly magical. Also I subscribed love your footage. I have about 1TB of GoPro footage and I have no clue yet where to begin. I am starting to think to invest in a drone it is an amazing innovation! Perfect song and well nature speak for itself. Breathtaking. I get emotional again and I was there in person! ❤️

[@ColinTS]

+Kiliana Vink Wow, 1TB! Though that's better than 0TB ;) If I were you I would start with a particular place or some sort of theme for your video so that you can narrow down the footage you are working with. Once you have an idea for the story you would like to tell, you can easily select the footage you want to use. Now is the perfect time to invest in drones. They are making some really amazing ones, sold at affordable prices. I would check out the DJI Phantom series if I were you. Thanks again for subscribing and I look forward to sharing more lush videos with you and your friends! :)

[@julesp1669]

[@danielhogberg5693]

I really loved the video. Let me know if you have other videos from Siargao, thanks!

[@ColinTS]

Daniel Hogberg This is the only one, but I will be making many more from different places around the world. Are you living in Siargao?

[@danielhogberg5693]

No, im in Manila at the moment.

[@strawberryshortcakemitchell]

It's beautiful in there👍

[@jaydVer]

i hate that i love this! So breathtaking Siargao

[@ColinTS]

jaydVer haha thanks, but sorry that you hate that! Is it because you wish you were there?

[@marialuzbibat6069]

WOW , Philippines !

[@AshleyYee]

beautiful!!

[@RolfStille]

very well done

[@ColinTS]

Rolf Stille Big thanks!

[@stickyrice7228]

splendid !

[@ivanjoble8568]

Great filming. The transition of clips are awesome. I did the same in Siquijor but unfortunately it crashed! huhu..

[@ColinTS]

+Ivan Joble Thanks Ivan. I am surprised I haven't crashed mine (yet...) :) Are you gonna get another?

[@ivanjoble8568]

well mine is an old DJI drone (flamewheel f450) so parts are pretty much easier to replace. Eyeing on the mavic tho :p

[@ka-ching8344]

WOW!

[@Alexis_Cardoza]

good channel keep it up. just started my videos again getting some motivation.

[@doritominendres117]

amazing siargao

[@camsantos2612]

This is the best video of Siargao I've seen so far. Just amazing! Do you mind if I ask what resort it is towards the end of the video? The ones with huts by the shore?

[@ColinTS]

So happy you enjoyed it! The last scene with the huts is actually apart of a very tiny island just off the coast of siargao. There's no hotel there, just locals that live there and feed tourists, if they bring food to cook!

[@johnjoshuapastor9063]

GREAT SHOTS BRO! Siargao's beauty was really well represented :) I was there last week and I'm planning to create a video highlight of Siargao's beauty :) May ask for your permission sir to use some of your footage for establishing shot on my video, I'll credit you within the video and on the description. I will respect you decision if ever you would decline. Thanks a lot! Please create more!

[@ColinTS]

John Joshua Pastor Thanks man, please do!

[@johnjoshuapastor9063]

ColinTS Thanks Bro, I link you in the description! I'll keep you posted! :)

[@lanski]

Hi Colin, how's it going? Amazing drone shots you got here of Siargao. I just visited Siargao a week ago and it was amazing. Can I please use some of your drone shots for a personal travel video I am making. I'll provide a credit to your video. Hope to hear from you. I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

[@ColinTS]

JR Santos Yes, of course! Thanks for taking an interest!

[@lanski]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@Deano-JG]

crazy

[@nerlitajunio51]

Thank you So much. Have nice time look😍😉

[@Chrupczak]

[@ColinTS]

+Chrupczak Thanks! Have you been to Siargao before?

[@jeffmoltenberry]

excellent video! out of curiosity did you use autopilot app for some of the shots?

[@ColinTS]

+Jeff Moltenberry Hey Jeff, so glad you enjoyed it! In fact, all of the shots were done manually without autopilot.

[@jeffmoltenberry]

+lush video even more impressive then. care to share other details? i.e. settings and post production tools/adjustments. thx

[@ColinTS]

+Jeff Moltenberry Hey Jeff, apologies for the late reply. Truth be told, I am a minimalist and to no surprise everything in post was very minimalistic :) Everything was edited in final cut pro. I did some light color corrections, reversed some of the footage, and stabilized some as well.

[@RayReyes79]

Wow amazing video.. Did u happen to use an nd filter or is the color from post?

[@ColinTS]

No ND filter on this one - all from post.

[@krissk8236]

I already did!...It's a Must .^_^.

[@paulconley7085]

How much cost to go there from Louisiana. Stay 1 month ? Thank you

[@jedbangad4426]

VERY NICE VIDEO SIR. SIR WOULD YOU MIND IF I ASK WHAT VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE AND LUT DO YOU USE FOR THIS VIDEO?

[@ColinTS]

Thanks man! I used final cut pro X.

[@dragonrouge3372]

très beau

[@CalvinKemppel]

how did you color grade this footage?? its amazingg

[@ColinTS]

+Calvin Kemppel Hey Calvin, I used simple color grading techniques in Final Cut Pro X. Nothing fancy :)

[@CalvinKemppel]

Is there a tutorial online? I just filmed some drone footage with gopro 4k and my color is no where near yours!

[@ColinTS]

+Calvin Kemppel This one was really helpful for me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4HTiWaQjqZ-r5o

[@TAPPChannel]

nice video. I don't understand that dislike...

[@ColinTS]

Haha thanks, you can't win them all!

[@TAPPChannel]

yeahh... I have the same thing... 50likes and than someone hit the dislike... Some people like to do that just to be first... But we know how much effort it takes to take that shots and edit them before we'll get that final video like that...

[@iamdauntliz8170]

Hi are u using camera filter? If yes, what filter cpl?, nd 4,8,16,32?

[@ColinTS]

I actually wasn't using a filter in any of these shots - I had never heard of them at the point I shot it because it was my first week with the drone :)

[@crystalcervantes1868]

How did you record this?

[@ColinTS]

+Crystal Jay Cervantes Hey Crystal, I used the really amazing drone - Phantom 3 Professional by DJI. They just came out with the Phantom 4: bit.ly/1OWuZTb

[@ambiepotolin6853]

I think slow progress of the Philippines made these beautiful islands still intact, out from the greedy enterpeneurs

[@TheRealJerkVideos]

Hi, great video. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your footage for the some effects that I plan to practice. Just for personal use, nothing shady. Will credit you as soon as vid is done. TYIA.

[@ColinTS]

Sure thing! I'd love to see your video when you are done! Have fun :)

[@quesee08]

I hope Philippines ban tourism so nature would be protected...

[@nerlitajunio51]

ecf08 Thank you so much. it's wonderful place and i am from Philips. I like so much my home place love it..💓😍😎👌👌
