Ziimeo Tips on Making the Best Vacation Video

Feb. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Any season is a good time for vacation, unless you are a grumpy old hermit who doesn’t have a single adventurous fiber in your body. Every vacation time deserves to be documented and shared properly. Some focus so much on trivial matters that they fail to capture the most important and memorable moments of their outing so they look back at their vacation pictures and videos with regret.

It is important to remember these five simple tips to give justice to your very fun (and most likely expensive) vacay:

Tip #1: Give the place its own time to shine

Let the place speak for itself; show instead of tell. You can be the star in your video, but give the location its share of the limelight. The settings are also important subjects of a good travel video.

Tip #2: Show your friends or companions

Travel buddies also make good video subjects. Try to capture candid moments of them by allowing yourself to fade into the background for a few moments. Try the “fauxtograph” technique at least once during your trip. Tell your friends you are taking a picture when it’s actually a video and see how long they can stand still. You are guaranteed to have a good laugh once you see the result.

Tip #3: Visualize the video ahead

To make your video organize, you need to think in shots. Visualize the result that you want to achieve and don’t shoot everything you see. Be selective and opt for clips that have good quality to make your editing easier.

Tip #4: Sweat the small yet important stuff

Document the moments that you want to remember. Try to pay attention to the little things and grant them space in your video. If there is a long performance, just capture a few moments from it. Document the highlights of your vacation.

Tip #5: Have real fun to make your video look fun

If you are enjoying, chances are your video will turn out fun. Preserve your happy, boisterous, and spontaneous moments on video. You can also take turns taking fun videos of each other.

Now that you know these tips, the next important thing is choosing a video-sharing site that specializes in your type of video. YouTube is so far the largest and most established site, but it also has the largest user base, so your clip gets lost easily in the crowd. If you are indeed a travel junkie, you’ll like Ziimeo.
