I went to Vilamendhoo in November 2018 ! It was Amazing and i remember of everything watching de vidéo. It is an awesome travel that il will never forgive, i stayed 1 week and after 3 days i felt like at home .OMG

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words.. I felt exactly like you did, as soon as we arrived it felt like home, which was also why it was soo hard coming home.. I still miss this place so much :)

YEA ALEX!!! So good. Loved the pacing as always!!!

[@whatalexdid]

Thanks so much Jacob, it was a tough one this one as I didn’t get anywhere near enough footage as I was hoping, but I’m pleased how it turned out.. Hope you and the family are well 😀

[@iamjacobmartin]

@@whatalexdid Doing great, thanks :)

[@StacyTapsell]

Mate, so good!! I love the edit and the colour grading is out the gate! You've done an amazing job. And that place looks amazing!! Definietly on the list of places to go in the world

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you mate I appreciate you watching... The colour grading was really fun on this one as it actually didn’t need much! It is stunning, you and Amie would love it there 😀

[@cabonfim6967]

Wonderful!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@TheHarbazNabil]

Nice Video Like it ....What about Dji drohne ....Can you use it there without problems!!!?

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you so much for watching... If you are wanting to take your drone to Vilamendhoo Maldives in 2019, drones are now prohibited on the island and I got strict instructions in order to use it. So if we were to go back I definitely wouldn’t take it as I wouldn’t be able to use it :)

[@TheHarbazNabil]

@@whatalexdid thank you very much for the Information.....🤣🤣I take it 😁

[@whatalexdid]

Ha no worries, when you check in they will say you can’t use your drones though.. This is at Vilamendhoo though but if you are going to a different island they may allow them 😀

[@TheHarbazNabil]

Thanks 😁😁😁 I do 👍👍👍

[@whatalexdid]

Good luck 😀

[@MrEddieNunez]

Wow! Amazing edit! You deserve so many more subs! Keep it up! You have my vote.

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you watching.. I have been too inconsistent to have more, but I'm working on getting more content out! Thanks so much :)

[@emmapbro]

Brought back Maldives memories for me..amazing to watch 👌🏻

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you so much for watching... Its why I dont think I will be able to watch any Maldives videos again, it will make me want to be back there 😂

[@JonEllison]

Some great shots Alex and as always great editing 😍

[@whatalexdid]

Thanks for watching Jon, I struggled a bit though as I hardly got any footage 🙈

[@anisbenbrahim9596]

Hey so nice video the color grading is awesome. Can I ask you what kind of LUT did you use ?

[@whatalexdid]

Hey, thank you so much for watching and for your kind words... I used my own custom LUTs on this video 😀

[@anisbenbrahim9596]

@@whatalexdid is there anyway to get it ?

[@whatalexdid]

@@anisbenbrahim9596 Not yet as they would require too much work to get them looking how I have used them in this video!

Ah thanks Katy, still not entirely happy with it as I didnt film much, but it will do!!

[@fotovm8692]

Hey. Inspired by your videos I bought myself zhiyun crane. Asking for advice on lens selection. I understand that for shooting with zhiyin is not suitable for every lens, but only lenses with perfect autofocus? What lenses will suit me for shooting beautiful flights and runs around the subject? To avoid the need to adjust the focus manually. Thanks

[@whatalexdid]

Mr. Alex that’s brilliant! It would all depend on what camera body you have?

[@islandiicom]

The resort with a great house reef, close to a whale shark point and discount up to 20% for early birds!

[@baljinderbanwait7128]

Fantastic views! that's one the best cinematic videos I have seen. good transitions in your video. going through your description...its such a let down that they don't allow drones on the island. I am planning to go in July, but not so sure about the weather.

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words.. It was a shame, but apparently it’s all because all of the beach villas and water villas, the bathrooms are all open air, which makes sense having a drone ban in place.. We were always told November to April is the best time but the out of season months still apparently get some decent weather 😀

[@wtfmeight]

It's a blessing not a let down, people dont pay huge sums of money to go to a dream resort like vilamendhoo only to have inconsiderate people like you disturb the peace with fucking drones

[@talharasheed3634]

AMAZING MAN! What picture profile did you use on the a6500?

[@whatalexdid]

Thanks so much for watching... I used Cine 4 for this :)

[@stephanemorelli]

@@whatalexdid Amazing, very pro color grading. Which LUT did you use ? Or maybe you do manual grading with Colorista or Lumetri ?

[@umbumgo]

Your editing is amazing. Do you mind me asking what software you use? You’re transitions are 👌🏻, it looks so so beautiful I want to go there! Xx

[@whatalexdid]

Ah thank you so much... Of course, I mostly use After Effects but sometimes I use Premiere Pro, just depends on what sort of video it is... Thank you, I tried to calm down on the effects in this one and just tried to keep it simple! Ha I am still missing this place way too much, I would go back in a heartbeat xx

[@rahulgade4385]

Wow

Great video! What is the name of the first song?

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you so much.. It’s called Ecstasy by Dim Wilder 🙌🏻

[@viktoriav4148]

Great video! did they allow to use drone?

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you for watching 😀 No they don’t unfortunately, I had to gain permission to film the bits I did and I was given strict instructions about where I could and couldn’t film..

[@viktoriav4148]

@@whatalexdid great, thank you :)) hope they'll allow to film at least something

[@agnieszkamiloszewska9331]

Amazing! Is required need written permission to fly the drone in Vilamendhoo???

[@whatalexdid]

Thanks so much for watching... I needed special permission as drones are prohibited here unfortunately

[@DerekComer]

Just found your channel and hot 15% of my new AER for my gopro 9 Black. Thing is I'm RUBBISH at editing videos had every odd number gopro, take photos with a FujiXT3 plus other gear but my video edits suck lol. Is there any chance of you showing how to do some simple edits. Loved this video it was like watch a professional video promo. Thanks. I use powerdirector 365, use Adobe lightroom and photoshop for my photos but cant get my head round premier pro lol

[@whatalexdid]

With PP the key to getting on with it is to keep practicing! So many people will use it every now and again but the key is to use it often and then it becomes easier 😀

[@DerekComer]

@@whatalexdid bit like photoshop and lightroom. Just find video very hard. Was brought up with film cameras so photography is my main hobby. Just wish I could get my head round video. Yours are fantastic

[@whatalexdid]

@@DerekComer exactly the same as PS and LR 😀 All I did was watch a tonne of tutorials on KZbin, then I kept recording and experimented with the editing.. I did this day after day and still do now.. Just because I don’t upload much doesn’t mean I don’t keep practicing.. just keep doing it and then it will start to click, I promise you that 🙌🏻

[@eXo.77]

Hello Alex, your recordings are absolutely wonderful. I was also at the Vilamendhoo with my girlfriend and would like to put together a private video. is it possible to get your recordings with the drone? Is there a way to contact you by email? best regards

[@whatalexdid]

Thank you so much for watching... Unfortunately I no longer have the original clips from when we were there... I had major issues with some of my external hard drives a little while back and lost a fair amount of my files, including these ones!

[@HollybobbsVlogs]

Is it wrong that my fave bit was the outtake 😂

[@whatalexdid]

Hahaha nope, it was my favourite bit too which is why I included it, but Hannah’s least favourite funnily enough 😂

[@doraragosta8156]

è un video sul resort o sulla ragazza?

[@whatalexdid]

It is about OUR time spent at the resort!

[@spritumn5713]

Song name?

[@whatalexdid]

First one, Dim Wilder - Ecstasy... Second one, Asher - Falling..

[@whatalexdid]

That’s amazing, all the staff we met were so good and incredibly polite 😀

[@jamiewolves90]

Wicked video. Im going here for the first time next June. Hope i can create an amazing videi like this. Check out my Africa video on my channel and let me know what you think ☺️ still an amateur at making videos with my gopro, definitely need to include more slowmo footage in future ones like yours 👍

[@whatalexdid]

Hope you have the best time, it is paradise 🙌🏻 for sure I will check it out 😀
