Maui - The Valley Isle - Glidecam HD 2000

Film and edit by Amir Zakeri Music was created by my brother Alexander.

I had never been to Maui, only Oahu, so the entire island was a mystery. I spent the nights preparing for the next day of where to be at what time, to get the best shot with the best lighting. I was alone most of the time, adventuring by myself. I spent the nights editing my footage just to keep up with the new footage I would get from the next day of filming. If your visiting Maui for the first time hopefully this illustrates the amazing attractions! This is my first YouTube video and I'm very proud of my work.

Some tripod stills were shot with a 70-200mm 4.0 L Series lens. I tried to always keep a low aperture to keep everything in focus and kept a constant ISO of 100 for almost all the shots. This was shot at 1080p @ 24fps. I used Compressor 4 before exporting out to YouTube. The smooth, floating-like shots were done with a Glidecam HD 2000. You can learn more about Glidecam's in the link below. I've been shooting with Glidecam's only for 6 months, and with practice came smooth footage! http://glidecam.com/ Contact me: [email protected]
