The Struggles of Creating Travel Films | with Brandon Li | CREATOR TALK

In this Creator Talk video, Brandon Li and I talk about the process of making travel films and issues that come up while creating them. Brandon discusses gimbal techniques he uses to get smooth shots. He also talks about a time where he tore a back muscle getting a gimbal shot.
This is an excerpt of a chat I had with Brandon Li, an incredible filmmaker whose work is nothing short of breathtaking. With films like Hong Kong Strong, Seoul Wave, Nomads of Mongolia, Tokyo Roar, and the Passion of Andalucia, Brandon has inspired and entertained countless people and he still has an insatiable desire to create more pieces of inspiration.
🔹 For those interested in learning how to create powerful films WITHOUT the use of scripts or storyboards, solely visual storytelling, I highly recommend Brandon's course. Once you learn how to make films just from improvising while filming and editing, creating other films becomes a piece of cake. If you're a Final Cut Pro user like Brandon is, you'll find the course to be that much more useful considering a lot of the editing tutorials are done in FCP. However, the editing concepts are easily applicable across all softwares. 🔹

Hey Dylan! i'm curious, you said that you made a video about how you feel about travel and film at the same time, where is that video ? For myself, i travel and make video out of it but it's never a burden, i keep my camera close and whip it out to take clips really fast, that way i keep exploring and enjoy the moment of my vacation.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Hey Youssef! Here it is: Getting great footage while traveling AND enjoying the moment kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZC4ppSPe7-Lick That’s smart to keep your camera close. That way it’s hard to tell yourself ‘naaa I can get the shot layer’.

I've thought about it, but for one, I don't think I'm a great 'talker' haha and I'm not sure I can start one with so many other things on my plate.
