The Summer Palace in Beijing, China (Repost)

Sorry for the previously posted video, it all got messed up when it got uploaded on Youtube. Anyway..... presenting my first ever 'seriously-edited' travelogue project... A DAY AT SUMMER PALACE! :) This might just be one of those video adventures that I normally do but somehow, this is quite different. I took my sweet time in editing this video as I seriously dig deeper into DSLR videography and video editing. Super thanks to my dear partner-in-crime Mar Silverio for helping me with filming, as usual. Would love to hear your comments and suggestions! :)
PS: Please view it on HD mode. :)

Wow Sarita, what a great travelogue video! Using the DSLR for video definitely defines the professional look. Taking that all together with your great screen presence and wonderful scenery and it looks like something out of the Travel Channel. You and Mar did a great job with this...and I love the "Crouching TIger" jumping shot at 1:23! So I'm assuming this was all natural light, even the night shot getting out of the taxi? Great job all around!

I thought you did a really good job with the editing Sarita! I liked the integration of the picture stills with the video, gave it some variety etc. Also thought the pacing was well done. One thing I noticed is that your dialogue was being covered up by the music (and I was even listening with headphones). I would suggest adding a bit of treble (about 4db worth) to the clips where you are speaking; this will help your voice cut through the music better. But other then that, great work!

@FilmIn5D thank you so much for the comment!!!!!! i really appreciate it coming from a guru in DSLR films! :) yes, i actually realized about the audio after reviewing the shots when i went back to the hotel. i actually have lots of "talking" scenes which were useless because the wind was blowing so hard. in this video, i even put the talking audio level up. i will take note of the "treble" thingy. something to look forward to in my next vid maybe! :) thanks again, aaron!!!

@Jagamp Thanks for commenting again, Jeff! Yes, I had itchy fingers last night and clicked on the video editor of Youtube and applied an effect... which messed up the whole video. Good thing that you were able to point it out before I went to sleep. I would have been bombarded with lots of thumbs down by the time I got up in the afternoon. :) Thank you so much for checking this out and for the "fave". :)
