Making a video? I realy like this guys style!

Great tempo and he got a lot of travel into a few minutes. The many short but interesting scenes and music added a nice contrast - that kept my interest too.

Really skillful and entertaining.   It took a HUGE amount of effort to set up for the footage in that video (of which he undoubtedly used just a tiny part).  I suspect he spent far less time on the bike than he did fussing with his multiple cameras, to get the multiple views, humanity shots etc. It may all look like random stuff from a trip, but every second of that video was planned and set up.

Bravo

Really good editing and nice music.  Liked his interaction with everyone he met.  Great stuff.

It depends on what he was trying to achieve.  It is a great teaser for having people buy a longer version.  If it is meant to stand on it's own, then too choppy and not much of a 'story' (other than 'I rode a motorcycle to a lot of places').

And, yeah, it took a HUGE amount of time to set up the shots, go through 1000 times that much video, edit it and mix it.  Not even counting the travel itself.

E for Effort then! 

Another good vid with a nice beat and very good edit pattern .... makes you feel like you are along for the ride!

Tip: Use a few close ups of faces with interesting characteristics or expressions (in focus please)

And slo mo can be used very effectively, with the right music, in some scenes too!

I liked it.   If you're going to show a tour across Asia in 3 minutes, he picked a good and atmospheric way to do it.

You really get the impression he's having a good time and interacting well with people, although I'm sure if he had to deal with a stroppy border cop or a mean bandit, he wouldn't be shooting video while he was dealing with it.

It also reinforces my wonderment that people use these giant dual-sports for this kind of ride.   Always hauling around 400 pounds of bike you can do without, and burning gas for 100 horsepower that you can't use 95% of the time.   Didn't see him doing anything he couldn't have done on a DR-350 or something .... ?  But it's his ride, I'm just asking dumb questions .....
