Film made by Devin Graham.

This entire film was filmed on the island of Kauai over a 9 day period. The first 3 days were spent hiking the Napali coast, a 11 mile hike along the coast. We did this for 3 days. After this we spent 2 more days exploring the island. I did this with 8 other friends. After the 5 days were up with them, they all flew back to Oahu where everyone was living, and I stayed on the island on my own for 4 more days.

I had a rental truck, that's how I got around. I didn't want to spend money on hotels though, so I slept in the truck, in a Walmart parking lot for the other 4 nights. A lot of cars get broken in on the island of Kauai, according to rumors, so that's why I would camp in the parking lots, so I was a lot more exposed if someone tried to break in where I was sleeping :) That way i wouldn't get robbed, raped, or murdered, ha.

At night when I got done filming, I would go into the only Walmart on the island, where they also have a McDonald's, and I would bum off there wi-fi with my ipod touch, and plot my path for the next day, then I would head out before the break of dawn every morning, and I would get back after sunset to do it all over again.

On a technical side, this was all all shot on the Canon 5D Mark II. Most of the shots were done with the Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens.

The smooth shots were done with a Glidecam HD-4000. You can check out the exact model on their official website here where you can also buy them. I've been shooting with there glidecams for the last 5 years, and love them. They do take a little bit of a learning curve, but once you get past that, it's all smooth!

Also, here's a link to some of the photography I did as well while I was filming. I did this just on the side, just because I was already at the location, but my main focus was capturing it on video. Second was photographing it.

I've had around 30 emails within the first 12 hours of releasing this video, all with common questions, my response to them all was to big to put in here, so I posted it on my blog. For any other technical info, check out my blog below, and any other questions, feel free to ask there.

i am watching this again after watching your story Devin on your second channel. I originally thought that you were spoiled by all of this amazing stuff that you do but after watching the miles and miles you swim and hike just to get a 4 second shot I am truly inspired. You have to be one of the most amazing YouTubers when it comes to effort on videos, this is truly inspirational. Thanks man this made my day :)

Here's a question for you, Devin, as well as any other film makers. When going to locations like this, with beaches and places that have people walking around, how do you transport your film equipment safely? This summer, i'll be touring a few places, making videos, and i'm worried about the safety of my stuff. I'll be filming with a Canon 600D, one or 2 lenses, a tripod and a glidecam HD-1000. Anyone have any tips for travelling with film equipment? Message me! Thanks!

Hi there, have you considered "Reveal Travel Deal" (just google it)? I have discovered numerous incredibly cheap hotels and even flight tickets. This could let you save on your future vacation too.
