I'm picking up video production as a fun hobby. A video going to the University of Washington pulling a Bushtec trailer. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed it

Please make sure to turn the video setting to high definition:

Funny, that's kind of how I remember it.45 years ago. Live north of Everett now but that was a fun way to look at a drive I really don't enjoy much. I still hit 5 a couple of times a year to see my little brother a little bit farther south of where you got on 5.

 
Truthfully a 14 minute POV needs to have some different camera angles and interesting roads. By mounting the camera on your helmet, we get a lot of quick glances to the sides as you make traffic checks on lane changes and intersections...a good thing, but sucks in video. Try a chest mount, and some motorcycle fairing mounts, and next time, get off the freeway.

Try mixing in some still photography, and get a theme going. A point to point trip is not a theme, and I would get bored wathing someone go over Beartooth pass unless they mixed in something of interest.

Did I mention POV is generally pretty boring? You need to edit this down to about 4 minutes tops.

Thank you for the helpful suggestion and feedback Tom, I will make sure to keep it in mind for future videos.

I just started making videos as a new hobbie. I'm sure with some more training and practice things will be different.

Thank you for watching and helpful feedback :)

 
Ty, it sounded too harsh, but was meant to be helpful. You have very good clarity and titles (nice trailer). The idea is to tightly edit so it isn't like being invited to the neighbors for a 70s slide show, or 80s home video. POV is a challenging medium to tell a story with, and a generic electronic music soundtrack doesn't add anything.

 
Thank you Tom and Gary, I will make sure to incorporate the helpful feedback in mind for future videos production.

Thank you again for the help and viewing the video :)
