how to make a good film out of your trips

[Blommetje]

I have a actioncam and recorded a lot in Italy when kayaking and canyoning.

The downside of my camera is, the shakyness. Most of the footage is not really watchable. It's shakes luke crazy. Specially when mountainbiking.

After this I make sure to record some things I like but also a lot of useless shit. Like boarding the plane, leaving the country, and of course the shit of you yourself riding towards the horizon. (Don't forget to go back and pick it up). It also feels lame, but place the camera in the fridge and grab a . Record yourself waking up. Making coffee (place it in a cupboard). All the shots from the helmet are nice , but it is crappy editing. The shots of daily life (pitching a tent, taking a shower). Make the video watchable.

I use Adobe premiere. A beast of program but I also "downloaded" a lynda.com tutorial about how to use it. This helps a lot! I did do this in the bosses time.. making it even more fun

But all the hours from Italy... the first video was 12 minutes and boring as hell. So the edit a major vacation in 2 minutes... is very very difficult.

Post the result though, curious!
