I bought my domain name and published my <a href=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/who-am-i\/\">first WordPress article<\/a>. Where has the time gone? To celebrate the occasion I thought I&#8217;d explain how I make my videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When I first started, I focused more on general travel. I\u2019d spent 6 years <a href=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/about-me\/\">living overseas<\/a> and had made the most of that time by exploring as many countries as possible. <em>Eventually<\/em> I made my way back to New Zealand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">5 months into the TravellingK blog I bought my caravan and started writing purely about my caravan experience. That\u2019s when I started feeling like I was on the right track. I still have a long way to go, but I\u2019m slowly getting there. What I&#8217;ve learnt is you really do need a niche topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m a graphic designer and use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe<\/a> programs all day long. At the start they were just the print or web design programs. One job required I start using Premier and After Effects to help when the media designer was off sick. I even went on an 8 week Adobe Premier course and have kept learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I&#8217;d started with a few travel videos where I was firmly behind the camera &#8211; just lots of <a href=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/travelling-around-north-india\/\">pretty travel footage<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I don\u2019t even remember why, but one week, I made my very first vlog. I felt so awkward and stiff, but got such a positive response that it motivated me to being in-front of the camera more often. Talking about my caravan experience means I really do need to be in the videos and it\u2019s becoming easier with time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\n\t\t\t\t#sc_gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#sc_gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\twidth: 49.99%;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#sc_gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#sc_gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\/* see sc_gallery() in functions\/theme-shortcodes.php *\/\n\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='sc_gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2850 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large none'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"564\" src=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-1024x564.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-1024x564.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-300x165.jpg 300w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-768x423.jpg 768w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-260x143.jpg 260w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-50x28.jpg 50w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot-136x75.jpg 136w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/TruckLife-Screenshot.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\n\t\t\t\t\tOverseas Video\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-260x146.jpg 260w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-50x28.jpg 50w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog-133x75.jpg 133w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/1st-vlog.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\n\t\t\t\t\tFirst Vlog\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What camera do I use?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My main camera is about 5 years old now. It\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2oGX5Q9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony Nex 5R<\/a>. The new version is the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Faet60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony Alpha a6500<\/a>\u00a0and I&#8217;ll probably upgrade to it one day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Best parts<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">A perfect travel camera because it\u2019s not too big meaning I always take it with me in my day bag. Now that cameras are digital, you don\u2019t need a bulky camera body.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can change the lens. I have a small compact lens and a large zoom lens. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can take RAW photos which means your photo keeps the details of the shadows and white areas. With a bit of Photoshop tweaking you\u2019ll end up with a professional looking photo. It took me a long time to realise the power of RAW.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s fantastic for video. This is one of the main reasons why I upgraded my camera. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2oGX5Q9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony Nex 5R<\/a> has a back screen that flips all the way over which is perfect for filming yourself. Unfortunately the new\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Faet60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony Alpha a6500<\/a> version doesn\u2019t have this feature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">The new version has the option of an external microphone which would be extremely handy for filming in windy locations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I also have a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2tb0Th0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Go Pro<\/a>\u00a0camera. I initially bought it for <a href=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/whitsundays-beauty\/\">underwater<\/a> filming after getting my <a href=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/learning-to-dive\/\">diving certificate<\/a>. I\u2019ve found it really handy for filming while I drive. I have it attached to my window and can turn it to show the road or myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2870\" src=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-195x146.jpg 195w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-50x38.jpg 50w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R-100x75.jpg 100w, http:\/\/travellingk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Sony-Nex-5R.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Other accessories<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2FQ3lfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rode smartLav+ Lavalier Microphone<\/a> for better audio on windy days. It records into my smart phone which means I can talk to the camera while standing far away. The down side is it takes more time editing as you need to sink up the audio with the footage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2oGYAOh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Viltron LED Light.<\/a>\u00a0It\u2019s small enough to easily keep in the caravan. Sometimes it\u2019s so light outside the caravan I end up silhouetted. I don\u2019t use it all the time, only if there\u2019s a problem when I\u2019m sitting and talking for a long time to the camera. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2CVLKzS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gorilla Tripod<\/a>. It\u2019s small and perfect for putting in a day bag while exploring. You can use it as a mini tripod to angle the camera correctly or wrap it around a tree branch. I also use it like a selfie stick! Make sure to get the larger sized version that can handle the weight of your camera.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2F9NJ9R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nest Tripod.<\/a>\u00a0I originally bought the cheapest tripod I could find which fell apart pretty quickly. I then went for this\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2F9NJ9R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nest Tripod<\/a>.

This is when I edit, delete and rearrange the footage into an order that makes the video into a watchable story.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">When I film, I regularly say the same thing a couple of times, as it\u2019s only when I\u2019m editing that I\u2019ll realise my mistake with wording or that I\u2019m out of focus.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">I add the title and end CTA. If there are still holes in the storyline, or I\u2019ve made a mistake, I add After Effects copy on top.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">I add music from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/audiojungle.net\/?ref=KNisbet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Envato<\/a>\u00a0to play quietly in the background. This really helps the video come alive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>After exporting and uploading to YouTube, I make a thumbnail with Photoshop and Illustrator.
