@@Zach.Richardson ---"Sky of Soot" you say at 2:00? That was pretty good conditions in wildfire situations, actually, I think it adds a lot of mood to the place, I have lived in this region 20 years, and incidentally, you are NOT going to hear wild animals bellowing or grunting the woods, they do not do that, unless you are within 50 meters of them. Forest Fires have been an inherent part of the natural environment of Western Canada for millenia, although in recent years, probably due to global warming, the forest has been much drier than usual and the situation much worse, especially in August.
really love the narration, how the videos were taken, the music, how it is presented, and also - the natural inclusion of the people journeying through the Canadian Rockies. I was blown away by seeing this RUclips video 3 yrs ago - that made my once dream come to fruition 3 occasions now since I've watched this 3 years ago. this made me go back again and searched this particular RUclips from Zach Richardson superb work of art I must say coz it is done beautifully. God bless you more.
Found your videos from my LG TV RUclips channel but on RUclips website only after a good search. Your videos are amazing. Can't believe you only have 305 subscribers. I definitely will visit the Canadian Rockies someday. What an amazing place to be.
Hey mate. My girlfriend and I are researching our planned trip to the Canadian Rockies and we came across your channel. I have to say that your videos are not only beautiful but enormously informative and we both give you a huge thumbs up. Thanks for your efforts and keep it going. Cheers from Aus.
Hi there, I've been enjoying watching this. It's good to discover how we can share and learn so much from each other through channels such as this, especially about places we may never get to visit, thank you for taking the time to add it.
Very well done. Brought back memories of my trip two years ago. I could not wait to go back. Next stop for me is Mount Assiniboine and Garibaldi Provincial Park in BC this August-September.
So awesome. Your editing is so inspiring. Thank you. You seem to be able to somehow have shots of your family MINUS all the rest of the crowd that’s would be expected at those locations. How? Were you there super early in the morning before people showed up? Usually we would be surrounded by hundreds of others enjoying the same wonders. However, you were able to create beautiful shots as if the parks were there just for you. So awesome.
superb work..so gifted..love it so much. the best ive seen thus far for LAKE MORAINE AND LAKE LOUISE and not you've introduced YOHO..THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOD BLESS.
Hi Zach, all of your videos for you Alberta trip captured so nicely. Amazing work..!! May I ask you to share itinerary for Banff - Jasper - YOHO parks? Thank you.
Very Very Good Video with nice music and story.U are a professional video maker.I am going next month(August 2021).I hope that i will enjoy.May i know what filter did u use and what software for vide editing?it's a pro video.Keep it up.
Hey Moktan, thanks. I didn't use any filters or LUTS. I pretty much just color correct my footage without much grading. I don't like loosing the natural blues and greens of the mountains. These videos were edited on Premiere Pro from Adobe. However, that being said I've since moved on to editing on Final Cut Pro X and most recently to DaVinci Resolve 17. Of the three I've found DaVinci Resolve the most comprehensive and financially feasible option. Adobe is a rip off in my opinion and wasn't worth the monthly fee.
Shon, I would recommend Lake Maligne in Jasper National Park. It's further north but far less crowded and probably the most beautiful place we visited on our entire trip. You can take a boat ride out to Spirit Island which is just breathtaking! Hope that helps.
Could anybody tell me if these lakes are swimmable, is the water very cold, as my wife and I are going next year July/aug 2019. I ask as I've never seen anybody in the lakes. Thanks.
The majority of the lakes in Banff - certainly any of the blue hued ones are glacier feed and therefore very cold. I suppose you could since I have seen people swim in water when it's snowing but I wouldn't want to jump in.
June would likely be better than August or September when we went. It was very dry. We had an atypical year because of all the fires. We stayed at an Air BnB and from what our host was telling us, usually August is the best month -- but that also means the busiest. Hope that helps.
Hi zach, love your videos, personally i think that they are some of greatest of this canadian national parks, 2 questions, in what mont did you go to banff and jasper, and what camera did you use
Hey Zach, beautiful work. Question - what time of the year did you guys go? Was it June/July? I’m heading there in the last week of May. Hoping the water is cleared of ice and as vibrant blue as this.
Great captures, editing and storytelling. You have me very excited to visit - planning a trip there for next summer. Do you use a boom or gimbal… or do you have an incredibly steady hand?
Hey thanks Matthew. For this video and those in the series I used the Zhiyun Crane V2 gimbal. Works like a charm. However, more recently I've been doing most of my shooting handheld to keep things as light as possible.
@@Zach.Richardson I can understand that. I have a Zhiyun Smooth Q which worked great, but is a bit of a pain to set up and to haul. I focus more on photography, but would love to do more video.
Zach, that was amazing! I'm looking forward to watching a few more of your videos. I'd been looking into visiting Banff here shortly & you just sold me. That was seriously impressive filming, editing & narrating. I'm curious if you used any filters or color grading in post-production.
This was a simple workflow. Panasonic G85 with kit lens and their wide angle 8-18mm. Edited just in Premiere Pro. But it's the subject and the soundtrack that I think makes it strong!
I would suspect so just based on school schedule and cooler temperatures but I am not 100% certain. You'll have more wet weather which will be nice in terms of keep the air crisp and clear. One thing to consider is that run-off from the glacial melt is what creates the blue refractile colors of the lakes, and as such they are supposed to be at peak turqouise glory mid-summer. I don't know if this will actually make much of a difference between the months of June to August, but that's what we were told by guides during our visit.
were you able to go walking to all this different lakes or you had to drive to get to them? I'm staying at the Fairmont Chateau and I'm planning on exploring this beautiful place on foot if possible.
Moraine Lake is 10 km from Lake Louise, there used to be a trail connecting them but I think it was de-activated, there are many, many trails around both lakes and the valley 'tween them, but you would have to go overnight to reach Moraine from Louise via the high route, and I am not sure if the Park allows camping in that area, I doubt it. Another rule is everyone must go in a group on some trails, as Grizzly bears are making a comeback in this area and there is more security in a group.
Love your shooting and editing style. Your video has convinced us to book our trip to Canada.
Highly Professional Editing and such amazing content!!! Thank you very much!! Amazing shots!
Thank you Stephan.

what month did this travel happen?
We traveled end of August. Thanks for watching Sid. ✌
@@Zach.Richardson thanks. All your videos are very well made.. Awesome job.
i went there 3 time every time it feels like first time.
Hi Zach!
Out of all of the lakes you visited, which one would you say had less tourist and was more on the quiet side?
Shon, I would recommend Lake Maligne in Jasper National Park. It's further north but far less crowded and probably the most beautiful place we visited on our entire trip. You can take a boat ride out to Spirit Island which is just breathtaking! Hope that helps.
Could anybody tell me if these lakes are swimmable, is the water very cold, as my wife and I are going next year July/aug 2019. I ask as I've never seen anybody in the lakes. Thanks.
The majority of the lakes in Banff - certainly any of the blue hued ones are glacier feed and therefore very cold. I suppose you could since I have seen people swim in water when it's snowing but I wouldn't want to jump in.
what month did you go? I want to go but im not sure what month would best. not too crowded or snowy! maybe, early june?
June would likely be better than August or September when we went. It was very dry. We had an atypical year because of all the fires. We stayed at an Air BnB and from what our host was telling us, usually August is the best month -- but that also means the busiest. Hope that helps.
Thank you!
Hi there! could you please tell me which month of the year did you go?
thanks in advance :)
What is the name of the opening song?
It should be listed in the credits of the video. The song is by Audiomachine.
why the background music is so sad?
I like your video
Hi zach, love your videos, personally i think that they are some of greatest of this canadian national parks, 2 questions, in what mont did you go to banff and jasper, and what camera did you use
Thanks Fernando. We went at the end of summer when it was drier out, hence the wildfires being an issue. This was shot on a Panasonic G85.
Hey Zach I like your movies good job and beautiful places.
Thanks Vitek
Do you use a camera gimbal/stabilizer?
And what time would you recommend heading out to the lake to find parking?
Hey Zach, beautiful work. Question - what time of the year did you guys go? Was it June/July? I’m heading there in the last week of May. Hoping the water is cleared of ice and as vibrant blue as this.
On an average year the lakes are just breaking free of ice in May, and Moraine can be low water.
@@canadaauroraborealis3958 How about mid-September? Is it a good time?
Great captures, editing and storytelling. You have me very excited to visit - planning a trip there for next summer. Do you use a boom or gimbal… or do you have an incredibly steady hand?
Hey thanks Matthew. For this video and those in the series I used the Zhiyun Crane V2 gimbal. Works like a charm. However, more recently I've been doing most of my shooting handheld to keep things as light as possible.

Banff & Yoho national park is my favourite place to visit in Canada.
Did you use a drone or just that good with a gimble?
Almost everything was shot on the Zhiyun Crane Version 1
Thanks Travis. This video and series was shot on the Zhiyun Crane and Panasonic G85 with the kit lens or 8-18mm wide-angle.
You really did all that on only ONE day?!?!?
We are thinking of going in June next year are the tourist crowds any lighter in June?
I would suspect so just based on school schedule and cooler temperatures but I am not 100% certain. You'll have more wet weather which will be nice in terms of keep the air crisp and clear. One thing to consider is that run-off from the glacial melt is what creates the blue refractile colors of the lakes, and as such they are supposed to be at peak turqouise glory mid-summer.

This is so beautiful! How was the drive to the lake? I drove at Yosemite and it was scary. Thanks for the wonderful video and info.
Hi. Why was it scary to you? Thank you
