Hi Alvin! Just wanted to stop by to say that I loved your video! (I watched it on vimeo) Your humor, editing, narration, and camera skills were all on point.  I think this makes a great advertisement for the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Kodak Zi8 hahah. Thanks for sharing this with us! You are the man!

@timeafter Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the film :). I recently took a trip through Europe and got a lot of great footage (shot in 1080P on a DSLR this time around, so quality will be substantially improved!), and hope to edit it together into another documentary-style video in the near future. Now... only to find the time to do that! Hahah.

And your own music is really beautiful!

@idnotmade - Hi! Glad you enjoyed the film. I shot everything at 720p60. Make sure to hold the camera as steady as possible - all those little shakes and jitters are impossible to see on the camera's LCD screen, but once you review the footage on a computer it gets pretty bad. For this reason alone I had the camera mounted on a mini-tripod and just carried it around that way, to add counterbalance, a little weight, and isolation. Next step is the content itself! Find sunsets, landscapes, etc...

Alvin this 3 part video is very entertaining & I cannot believe I even liked the narration…it truly adds to the likeability of this video.

Great quality video, what camera did you use?

@Badwolf0683 - The entire film was shot on a Kodak Zi8.
