Hello everyone! I travel alot and recently I started making travel videos, as seen in my other post here. I study for cameraman. Now to get to the question, I am thinking about buying a portable jib for my travels, one I could take with me on the plane. Does any of you know a proper, not to expensive, jib to buy? Thanks in advance, Ruben Boerstoel

Allright, thanks! I will watch them, even a rought cut sounds good. I checked him out on IMDB quickly. True, it's an investment but I do believe it's worth it. I used a Nikon D800 with a 24/70mm lens. I agree the focus puls on some points were really abrupt. In a few weeks I am going to Italy to also make a travel film, I will take these tips with me there! Thanks. No, no harshness at all, I see it as building critisiscm. I agree on the cutting. I am not a good editor, I have a hard time editing because I haven't invested enough time in editing during the first years of my study, I know not a smart idea. Since this was my first travel video ever, please keep that in mind haha, I had a hard time thinking about the story and how to invole a story into my shots. Now onto the transitions from one place to the other. This was the hardest for me while editing. I had a really bad time thinking what I should do and how. It was a good idea to think it out before shooting, which I haven't done. Do you have some tips on transitions in travel videos? Obviously the use of Google Maps is a good idea. I am really going to watch Ron Fricke movies, thanks again. Like I said before, next week I am going to Italy then later this year to Greece and at the end of the year back to China for a trip through Shanghai. This was my first travel movie and for my first I think I did an OK job. Thanks to all these tips I think I can make a movie that will be way better. Thanks a lot guys!

Okay, thanks for your message. To fill you in, this was indead made as a sort of a film. But more for my personal work and for school. As I haven't said yet I'm a third year student and the equiptment I had with me all came from school. Color grading: I agree, could have been done better. Focus pulling: In what way differently? Movements: There's the problem, we don't have stuff like that at our school and I didn't have time left to rent one. Filters: Also, we don't have all of that which is really sad actually. I don't really know if you see Ron Frickle as a compliment or not but thanks anyway haha! The reason why I am also is asking is because next year I am going to Shanghai to do that same, so I will take this advise with me there! Thanks for the tips!

Haha wow, of course. It's almost 2 PM here. I thank you sir!

Okay great, should I now make a new post or just post it here? Seems a bit weird to post it here since the Title isn't quite correct haha.

8/10. Beautiful setting and nice looking swans, good photo(s)! The shot also looks really good. Although it looks a tiny little bit unsharp.

Dear Filmnerds and camera freaks! Recently I have been on a trip to China, where I shot a video for a school project. It's called; Welcome to, Beijing. I would just love to hear you opinions on the video and some critisiscm would be nice. You can see the video here! I love honest opinions on all the things I can do better. Thanks in advance, Ruben Boerstoel.
