How I PLAN My TRAVEL VIDEOS - Pre-Production Process
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- For cinematic travel films, pre-production is a widely overlooked part of the filmmaking process. This week I'm sharing my entire process for planning travel videos- outlines, location scouting, shot lists, storyboarding, scheduling, and everything in between.

“Plans are nothing. Planning is everything” ~ Eisenhower. Love seeing how you lay everything out systematically. Not only does it create a more cohesive story, but it allows you to roll with the punches on location. Good stuff
Absolutely! Gotta have a plan for when nothing goes to plan 😉
I always get my ideas at like 2am, so I wake up to write them down, and then I stay up till like 4am just writing, it's a bad habit
Same
I do the same hahaha
A worse habit would be sleeping when you have an idea! Keep going
Me to 😂
This isn't a bad habit! There were many famous, amazing creatives/inventors who would wake up around the time and start their day off at 2-3am!
Your building a six sense on capturing your ideas. Next thing you know you will start putting those ideas into action and you'll manifest those ideas into reality.
I would have the most insightful or even taboo dreams and I would quickly sketch out a specific scene that caught my most attention in my dream. As soon as I was done I would forget my dream just like how ideas come and go. I would then think about how and where would I create this scene from my dream. Most times I wouldn't do anything however, I would mentally add more to that specific scene when it's relevant from doing day to day tasks.
Now I am able to think of scenes/compositions quickly when it comes to doing Weddings, Family events, Live music Performances on the spot. I thank the habit I created from horribly sketching out what I could remember from those dreams.
So in short, keep waking up late at night. As long as your aware of your own health through the years that pass, you'll be okay!
This actually helps a ton. I’ve always wanted to make a travel video but had no clue where to start because of how non traditional this style of film is. I’m making films with friends and know how to storyboard, but travel films are a whole different thing.
Watching this video for a 2nd time after a year, and it hits so different. Too many times I’ve gone into shoots not having plans at all, and paying the price for it when I’m sitting in front of my screen at 4am with my eyeballs shriveling into raisins.
Now that I’ve gone and learned the hard way, I really took this advice from a different perspective, and I really appreciate how in depth you laid out your ideas. Cheers Aidin. Know that the effort you put into each video pays off for years to come.
Man, you are so underrated. The quality of this video is amazing. Great vid!
I’m going on a trip and planning a video to hopefully inspire awe in people whilst sharing a meaningful story (beyond just cool transitions). This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos and I found your tips incredibly valuable. Thank you.
Clicked faster than the speed of light, that intro was insane!
Thank you for sharing man. This is a part i've been avoiding for a while.
With your breakdown I'm able to plan my shoots better and make better video's.
Thank you for your great content!
Great video, this is exactly what I was looking for and there’s so few videos about the planning process!
I specifically liked how the shot list works as both the sequence in the video and the production order that makes sense logistically.
I also liked the part about only feeing like you need to storyboard either a specific sequence or something you’re not sure about.
Both those areas I either go overboard or don’t do enough, so those tips are helpful for finding the right balance.
Since I shoot videos at home I also do “location scouting” around the house with my phone to help plan as well.
A lot of these I’ve done too but not in this order and that’s super helpful too 👍
Would love to hear more about your storyboarding process. Also, the opening scene to this tutorial was fantastic.
Agree!💯
Nice video Aidin loved it . I think you should make a video talking about the storyboards and how to make one.
Amazing breakdown of the process. Good work Aidin 👏
Hey Ryan .......i am your fan.......you rocks man

Excellent breakdown. Amazing to see how much work goes into your production!
Love the care you put into the pre-production.
You are like a human god to me. Thanks for sharing brother! Will implement all these ideas for my upcoming videos to save time and to get the perfect story output with interesting shots.
The intro was litttttt! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
WOW!!! this is amazing video! I really enjoyed it. You are very well organized for everything and for me that I am trying to experiment on this field the video was really very useful. Thank you!!
Every single time I am so surprise that this kid is teaching me something new. Incredible teaching and filming talent!
I’m impressed. This is more “engineering of a travel video”. Outstanding process and explanation.
I've never made a video before but when I decided on one, I made the exact same list before watching this video. It made me feel good after knowing someone like you also has one just like mine
You have it all super organized, excellent video Aidin, thanks for sharing your way of working.
Bro, impressive how young you are! This channel is amazing
Super helpful for future planning, definitely a video full of good knowledge and perspective! Will be implementing forsure in my own planning! Thanks for sharing man! 💯✔🙏

Gracias por este increíble Video! Un placer
So good man, digging all these tips
This video is really helpful man, thanks a lot for making this.
_Such_ a great video!
Beautifully shot, clearly organized, and logically laid out.
As so many other commenters have noted, the quality of preparation is so integral to success. It reminds me a bit of writing a novel - there are _plotsers_ (who meticulously organize everything before writing the first line of the story) and the _pantsers_ (who essentially just wing it, write in a fury, and then go back and organize into something coherent). Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
I'm a Plotser.
Loved the video. Found some great new ideas to try.
Cheers, mate!
Excellent episode
