Here's a short travel film with vintage cinematic feels featuring the beautiful Kalanggaman Island in Palompon, Leyte, Philippines.
The film was shot using GoPro Hero 4 Silver. This was the first trip (2016) that I used my first GoPro (I both have Hero 4 Silver and Hero 7 Black). All of the shots are snippets and fast cuts. I applied the vintage cinematic to add that "walk down the memory lane" feels.
When I first started to document my travel, I don't have any idea what to shoot. I just shoot whatever my gut tells me. I don't even mind about the stabilization of the shots. To be honest, my first edit of this adventure (which I uploaded to a different channel) was very shaky. I cringed when I watched it HAHA. I did a second re-edit, 2 years after the trip. With the experience I gained from editing travel vlogs, the 2nd edit was a bit better than the first.
This is the 3rd re-edit of this trip. My experience and knowledge in travel video editing really helped me a lot. Plus, using a video editing laptop with higher capacity really helped me during the process. The sad thing about editing old trips is that you always have those moments where you say "I wish I had more shots" or "Ohh, I should have not panned that much" or "damn, it was so damn shaky, even Adobe Premiere's warp stabilization makes it wobbly," and many more.
But the lesson is: the more time you spend to practice the way you tell your stories, the better and more improved you will be in the future. It’s like planting and growing the seeds and reaping the benefits, not instantly, but in the future for sure.
I also believe that you need not need to achieve that “perfection” when you share your art or photo or short film. It’s better to have imperfect action than to have a perfect inaction.
