Everyone has to start somewhere, and 4 years ago i made my first attempt of a travel video, which wasn’t the best, but It put me on a path that lead me to where i am today! You have to crawl before you can run, so be patient, work hard and you’ll get to where you desire to be!

Do you use the default settings in slog 3 for your picture profile when filming? Ive tried slog 3 but not sure how to get the look you have, thanks benn!
My this will do setup π great video!
Hey benn,
When you approach a scene,
Do you film with transitions in mind?
Great!! Nice video!!
Welcome back Ben , we missed your cienematic shots , could you do ,some editing tutorial about ur previous videoz ?
Why do you use windows? Or why do you not mac?:)
Great video bro:D
I’m almost at the beginning and videos like this are so inspiring!
Whats your biggest inspiration?
Will you travel someday with Sam Kolder? π
Question to You Brother.
Hey ! BENN. I have been following you since a long time and i have been inspired by your art of travel Video and i just wanted to ask u a question what kind of satisfaction do u get while filming and editing those Montage. AND What sort of question arises on Your Mind when u get to travel and the time when u Pick up Your Camera…Thank you.Hope you will answer This One.
I am a beginner and I am in love with that video. It is so inspiring…
Please tell more about your equipment for filming.
Hola Benn, eres un gran editor. Espero poder llegar a ser un dΓa aunque sea la mitad de bueno de lo que eres tΓΊ. Un saludo desde las islas Canarias. π
your 1st video is so awesome .great quality. you inspire me. Thanks
Nostagia
how did you learn all tools for create videos with premiere y after effects? school? tutorials in youtube? I need to learn many things and i donΒ΄t know where can i do it. Can you tell me where can i take a good course? Have you thought about taking a course where you explain all the techniques you currently use to make a video and sell it online? Thank you very much in advance.
Where did you learn all your VFX? I’m so curious. And You really need to visit Nepal π³π΅π³π΅,. it’s beautiful you’ll absolutely love it. I am so inspired by you. I started to make videos by looking at you and a few others. Would love to film with you if you ever visited Nepal.π π
Greets from Laos! We actually (intentionally) got caught up with the lockdown here in Luang Prabang and are just hanging out here for now! Not much to do either but its cheap and warm lol π Made a vlog of it (less cinematic than your stuff though) in case you want to relive some memories π
Loved the film & the message at the end Benn. Thank you π
I want to know about some editing skills how can i improve my editing!
Bruhh the video is nostalgic !!!
Hey benn! My question is: what is your game plan when shooting locals and other people, when I have traveled it has been weird to just point and shoot at them even after becoming their freinds first. The people that come out in your videos are so amazing!
Are you still working full time making cabinets? If so, how did balance your time with making videos, editing etc. Second question is are you still working on saving up for a house and all or are you just focused on travelling, making content and doing what you love? I guess Iβm asking this since I can relate to what u said earlier about working and just saving up. I work full time in the medical field and sometimes I feel the pressure of just wanting to save up for a house as if there was some imaginary deadline to meet these goals. How did you break away from this mentality? Love your videos and thanks in advance from a new subscriber!
Its actually crazy to see how far you’ve come!!! keep it up mate!!
Hey Benn!
Didn’t you think about editing some of your old shots? I mean – as a comparison of what you learned. I know you originally shot the videos probably with some idea, but it would be interesting to put some new ones – crazy transitions and atmosphere into older footage!
I wish you all the best and a lot of strengh in these times!
You are so inspiring Benn, i want to quit my boring job and doing the same !
Ben, hello, can you check it https://youtu.be/tN29hBHxsVo I understood that everything in Russia, but by the way,
Did you make it in same way?)
Huge talent, why are you not capturing Australia, Tasmania has hundreds of waterfalls & hundreds of islands around it, magnificent nature, minimalist population to put in your videos though
please teach us some effects that you use in your transitions!
WOOT MORE OF THESE PLEASE!
πππππ Stay Save and Best luck for you Benn.
How do you get your flying licenses for your drone now? Or are you flying illegal?
I watched this not too long ago and I remember thinking I don’t think some of those drone shots would be legal now! Which is a shame cause they are awesome! Glad you got them when you could!
Which is you main source of income and for which companies you have made a video and where we can watch them?
Question: How long does it take you to edit a video once you are back from a trip?
You are the best man. I am waiting your next Project – India
Love your work!! Any chance u can post how u edit??? That be awsome! Thanks man and stay safe !
Keep at it
Where did you learn how to edit and how to handle cameras?
Right in the feels man – get me away again!
Damn… The batu cave without the colorful stairs. Same here I didn’t see it with the colors yet… π
Hi Ben, I’ve been reading lots about regulation of different countries about using drone/flycam, and are there any restriction or difficulty when you travel?
Nice Video Benn π Keep up the hard work!
Gee the videos is equally good and professional. The drones makes a good shots. I don’t know how you would have time to find out if it ok to shoot as there are lots of restrictions and you are carrying your drones in backpackers place. How do you look after it while you jump off into the water.
Here is my request for Q&A ! What’s your most interesting gadget to get next !?
When you realize that his worst video is better than the best travel video you ever created haha! Cheers Ben<3!
my question is
who is your inspiration??
I never know that you had travelled to my country Malaysia, and now I’m really proud it was in ur first travel video.
This is my question as a beginner. What should I buy first? A camera or computer for editing?
You are my inspire βοΈ from Malaysia β€οΈ
Hi Ben! Love your videos, i was wondering what you edit and colour grade your videos on ?
Let’s go Micheal
Just exported my first travel film today! ‘Thailand X Cambodia’. 14 years old, the grind starts now.
Love from India bro πβ€οΈ
What cameras are you mainly using now to record footage?
Greetings from Laos. Stuck here π
When did your channel start to gain lots of exposure? Was it your persistent work ethic that got you noticed and made this dream of yours grow?

It’s a story of everyone, most of us will be having weird video when we started and as time passes improvement comes. I think I have improved a lot too ππ
Where did you learn all the effects you’ve made in recent videos? Is it self taught or YouTube or you take online course?
Ben! What is your approach to transitions? Are the preconceived or on the fly.
What’s inside your camera backpack 2020?

Hi Benn, When do you start your travel again? and where is your next destination?
Will you come back to Cambodia again?
When I see guys like you it really inspires me! Shows that anyone can grow π I’m at the start of my youtube travel channel, I hope to grow as much as you!!
Amazing πͺπ½πͺπ½π
You inspire me! Thanks!
Hey Benn, my question here- Before I asked you and you said you typically shoot in Slog-3 with your A7iii. Do you ever get times when you go to color grade and you get banding, color blotching, etc? How do you deal with that for travel filmmaking cause itβs not like you get a second take.
Oh, and do you use a noise reduction software for slog noise?
You’re editing skill now is absolutely amazing, that’s why your my idol. More travel videos sir Ben . πππ π―
Wow new looked . nice xx
Benn,do you try to leave a message to your viewers about life and your experience every time you create a video?
Benn my question is:
Is it possible to record all the scenes on a mobile phone like iPhone or Androids ? Because at the start we don’t even have camera ,you know that’s expensive.
.
Your workis top level bruhh! I really love what you do , and yeah I can’t wait for the video of India because I am an Indian ‘ I know because of covid 19 all off your plans failed, so not expecting too much ,visit India again.πππ
Hey Sahil ! Im an amateur myself and yes i started off with my phone. Its a great way to begin mate. In the meantime you can learn a lot good techniques, various transitions, camera angles, motions and story telling.. You get creative with time. You get self taught. The feeling is amazing. Good luck.
stay safe bro. good to see u. u gave me inspirations a lot.
I love u π
You are such an inspiration to me. Looks like I’m jumping in heads first.
Hi, can you check your mail?
What is your favourite transition or sequence you ever put together? Keep up the great content! π
Your videos are awesome. They are super creative and tell amazing, engaging stories. I want to be an outdoor photographer/videographer but I don’t know where I can start to get clients. Have tried insta, website, fb, business cards ect. Any tips for getting clients and earning a living?
Benn please react to all your videos like this and please and tell us the story behind them. πππ
Benn when will you start gaming?
Do you still have the original raw footage? You could re-edit it with new ideas and your todays skill
I would love to see your basic editing workflow. Bc when I start. Idk where to start. Do I find the music first or collect clips or etc things like that. So would love to hear your workflow
i feel you been, the last 3 years, i have been grinding trying to figure out how to travel. I dont want to be stuck in the 9-5. the world is so big. youre very inspiring
Even your first travel video, it’s amazing for me, Benn! Thank you for providing us an interesting video during quarantine;) Big fan from Japan
