We come here because we all have the common interest of motorcycles, travelling and exploring our world, your videos are interesting and informative, but its how you film, edit and use music that makes your videos stand out as something of a quality.

Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I have tried to answer this post so many times, but TH-cam won't let me for some strange reason. I can't begin to describe how much I appreciate the love and support you and your brother has given me. It motivates me a lot, when I know people enjoy the content I make. Will make this comment as pined. Cheers mate 👏🏻

Well hello Anna 😁 so nice to have you here, hope everything is well and you are travel around safely in this troubled times. I see a lot of people want to see a detailed colour correction video, so it will be up next. Make sure to have it ready before Christmas 😁 Glad you liked this video. Cheers
You show a side of making TH-cam videos that people don't appreciate enough (in my opinion) - How much time and effort it takes to create a single video. After watching this I feel bad for just pointing my iPhone at whatever I feel like talking about, then edit (cut and clip) it on my phone, then upload it through my phone.. Then again, your videos are truly the gold standard of motorcycle videos on TH-cam.
I'm not sure why my answers to some of this comments don't register. But ill try again. You don't need to put so much into it to make good content that some people will like. It is all about the story and message you want to send. To keep "perfecting" this stuff makes it much more enjoyable to work with and keeps pushing my creative mind to do new stuff. That is always a good thing 🔥 The gold standard, well... I don't know about that. But thank you so much for the kind comment. Appreciate that 👏🏻🎥

Your editing skills are awesome Thomas, but for me what amazes me every time is how you can select the best scenery clips, combine them with awesome soundtracks and present brilliant videos that show the stunning beauty of your Country and the meaning of motorcycle travelling and freedom, and that is what makes a big difference. Ex: minute 4:51!! 👍👍
Thank you Nelio, i really appreciate that 🔥😊 nature and scenic views have always been of great interest for me, so i probably have a extra eye for that stuff? Not sure 👏🏻 cheers
Ahaaa, see you at North Cape in 2022 😁. I did know you put a lot work in your videos and I am glad to see it pays off, it is well deserved. Agree with you about click bait, it may be tempting but in the long run it is better to be honest about the content.
Are you going up North as well? Damn it would be so cool if we meet somewhere on the trip and did something together 👏🏻 We need to talk more about this I understand. Yeah, I choose to put some extra work in my videos, but I think this is because I find the process and this whole thing so damn rewarding. Really enjoy the whole process. Click bait is the modern social media cancer... damn I wish we could get a vaccine against that crap. When we finally managed to get rid of duckface, we have this crap 🙈
@@tshansen yes I would love to revisit North Cape and also do the only two national tourists routes (of 18 total) I not yet have ridden. The one to Varanger and the one to Havøysund. Last time I was at North Cape I had not enough time to do them. I will ride up north late June I think and with my big tourer, the GS. Not decided the route yet. Would love if we could meet somewhere along the route and may be ride together some of the route.
Thank you Mark. I see that people are curious about this, and i have to say… I’m by no means a expert on the topic, but i can show what i know about it and how i do it. Maybe it can be of help for some. New video coming soon. Cheers and thank you for the comment
You are a magician and your videos are always amazing. I am sure a lot of viewers have no idea of how much time and expertise it takes. Keep them coming and thank you.
Thank you so much Les, appreciate that 👏🏻 I think it is only fair to show how the whole process works because it is so easy to compare yourself to people who are "better" or makes stuff of higher quality. But you miss the part where they show how much more time they spend on each section of the production. Much more to come mate 🔥
@@tshansen so far no restrictions 🤞. But few hours ago my bike decided to break down in the middle of a Turkish road 😅 so now I'm waiting for getting her back and see what was the problem
I subscribe to about 10 chanels. Yours is the best by far. Best in video and content. Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your followers. Greg
Thank you for sharing. I follow very similar process with my videos. I guess balance between quality vs time spent in edit is the key, at least for me. Cheers 👍
Thank you sir, yes... I think a good balance is key to every video. And if you are eager to learn for every video you will step up the game with every video you make. Thank you for the comment. Stay safe brother. Cheers 🔥
Thank you Thomas for letting us take a look behind the scenes of your film creation. I am always happy to accept your ideas and tips and hope to be able to implement one or the other thing next year. Best regards, Claudius
Thank you so much Claudius. Always a pleasure to help others to become better or be able to answer questions that people have. The more people we teach the more we get back 🔥
Great video! Love it. My husband and I are getting a GoPro this winter to make some videos about backcountry skiing, camping etcetera. I will definitely reference this video later! :-)
I started out with only a GoPro my self in the beginning. It is a great tool for so much. Just make sure to learn the different settings and how to get most out of it, and learn for everytime you film. It is a great journey. Have fun, and thank you for the comment
Great to see the similarities but also differences in how we work. I agree music is an important part, not only to get it right but how things may change in the edit when you find the right song. Script works for me like this. 1. I think about it and get it all in my head 2. I write it down, somewhat different 3. I shoot something completely different not using my notes at all. But still I think all 3 steps are contributing to what is actually created. Just not the way I thought.
I had no idea you worked like this mate 👏🏻 Cool... yes, when I'm writing down for my adventures or riding stuff, I write down subjects, but not what to shoot. Because it differ so much because of location and weather etc. So I just try to have a plan in my head so I know what to "look" for when I'm out riding. I do think we might have very similar approach to this. Great mind thinks alike... on that note? when will you learn me how to trow my tent up? 🤣
Thanks Thomas. Your explanation of your process makes stating appreciation for your videos all the more important. Your are a very talented man. Now to start...at the beginning!!!!🤣🤣🤣 P.S.: this off-season content is very relevant.
Thank you so much Roger... you know I appreciate it. It is a little bit overwhelming to get so much support and so many nice comments. I understand that this can probably be a great thing to do more of. Try to show and share more of how I work and get the results in my videos. I think many people can appreciate that. If you have any questions, never be shy to share them. I will do my best to cover most request 🔥 Cheers
Thanks Thomas for sharing this detailed "behind the scenes" of your video production. I am sure it's not easy to combine all these elements but i must say the outcome is outstanding, with an incredible attention to details. Your videos are very engaging.
Thank you Christian and glad to hear you liked it. I was not sure how well people would receive this kind of content. But I guess it is ok to share some more of behind the scenes and how I do some of my work in the future as well. For me it is all about the details 🔥🎥
Interesting video! I must say I admire your structure and attention to details in your work, and the end results show that it pays off. I can relate to your comment on searching for suitable music - that takes a lot of time, some times my impatience may lead to poor choices… When it comes to color grading I just have to trust the GoPro output as I am ever so challenged in the world of colors… 😳 - me fiddling with colors could give some rather amusing results… - the option would be to get my wife to do the color grading for me, but I am afraid we do not share the interest in making motorcycle videos - can you believe that!?! 🤭
Thank you Tor 👏🏻 For me it has changed everything for the better with setting up and structure my videos like this. Yeah, the music search can be a real pain sometimes, but so rewarding when you find one that works. Are you color blind or something like that? Haha, don't be sad for her lacking interest. It means you have all the reasons to go out and do your own stuff 🤣👏🏻
@@tshansen Not completely color blind, but struggling with separating some shades of green/brown, green/yellow, blue/purple and so on. You better not ask me for color advice… 😱
@@TheTor_Detours I worked with a guy who had the same struggles, you may learn to adjust only on waveforms, but still that is almost impossible or a huge job. I'm not a huge fan of GoPro colours, but the colours on my sony is so damn accurate straight out of camera. I will probably ask you for road and trail advice then. and I can give you color grading tips 🤣
This explains why your videos are on the next level. I find the real challenge is to balance the enjoyment of the journey without comprising it with video production. I guess it’s an individual choice on what takes priority and when. I know nothing about colour balance and edit only on standard iMovie, so pretty basic tools to play with. Cheers mate, great video.👍🏼
Good Morning uncle 👏🏻 Yes, this can be a challenge for me as well... If I'm with a group or another rider, I focus most on the interaction between us. When I'm alone I focus on scenic stuff. Every morning I try to set a plan of what the day should bring. I tell the story with me waking up, and leave camp, then I can ride for hours before I film again. If it is a place, me getting some food, looking at a tourist place etc. and I finish the day with we arriving camp at night. If you portion out the day and you let your riding buddy in on it. It is amazing how much you can film and tell without filming (if you know what I mean) Maybe I should try to do a behind the scene video parallel with my normal video, so it can show more how I do this? would that be of interest? iMovie is a good tool, but limited in many ways. But it does all the basic stuff great 🔥
Now that would be an interesting video, behind the scenes...but a real challenge to capture on video, or an editing nightmare. To be honest I've never seen that done on a travel/motorcycle Channel. Could be interesting. Take care mate and if we don't chat between now and Xmas have a great Christmas/new year 🤶 👍🏻
@@GreenString Yes, I would probably need one of my mates to help me or follow me along to film. Not sure how and what yet, but I see it as a good challenge. I hope to have 2 more videos ready before Christmas, but yes, happy xmas to you as well uncle... and a great new year if we don't chat before.
Crisp and clear presence Tjommi! Loved the scen at 4:50 and very nice light in your living room. Ofc we want to see how you color grade 👌 Great description of your process and thanks for sharing. Perfect series off season 😁👌
Thank you so much Tjommi 👏🏻🔥 always enjoy your feedback. I get some help from the huge window I’m sitting close to, but i wanted to show that you can get good lighting without going all youtube studio influencer way 😂 The only thing i struggle with is sound and Ecco in here 🤭 I understand i need to start working on a new How To video then. Color grading it is 🔥 I think i will try to do a more behind the scenes series as well…. Where i try to film when i’m out filming and share my thoughts on why i do as i do when I’m out riding. Will at least try one episode and see if people like it.
Good workflow and your video quality bares testament to that. 👍 Selecting the right music always adds a new level color and depth to story being told in the footage.
Thank you mate, glad you liked it. Selecting right music is so damn important, but so rewarding when you find the right one. will try to add some more of this now and then 👏🏻 Thank you for the nice comment
You are so right: I f*cking hate everyone saying "Please subscribe, click the bell and blablabla". If you're content is good PLEASE be sure I'll subscribe without you "ordering me" or reminding me every f*cking minute I need to subscribe. Ohh and the click bait... God damn those. I intentionally don't click any videos that are using click-bait because I can smell the bait from far away :) Cheers to your good content!
@tshansen Yes Thomas, I have footage from every ride I took this summer, but I didn't have the time to edit. I have some projects at work now, but for the next year I will try to add something more... ;) All the best to you and your family!
@@transylvanianrider Hope you get the time to edit some of it. Always enjoy great content, and you have some impressive video skills mate. The same to you brother... have a great Holliday 👏🏻
Always enjoy your content Thomas thanks for putting in the effort to produce it. I’m hoping to do a bucket list trip to Norway in June / July 22 if we can travel freely. It will be good to see some of the beautiful places, from your videos, with my own eyes. I’ll have some cameras with me so thanks for the tips.
Thank you Mark, nice to hear that 👏🏻 Sharing is caring for me, so the pleasure is all mine. Sounds like you are in for quite some adventure then. I really hope to get out of Norway next year as well... I'm going over to Sweden early season to meet up with a couple of friends there. And I will try to reach North Cape... so many things I would love to see, but time....time 🤣
Thanks for sharing your workflow and your thought process behind your videos! 👍 Very interesting to see that you actually plan what music to use in the very beginning of the project. Hard to find anything to disagree or complain about here, except you should have used a half naked woman in your thumbnail and named the video “7 easy steps nobody knows about to become a TH-cam superstar” 😂🤣😂
Hahahaha, you made me spill my beer mate 😂 you win best comment today 👏🏻 I need to reconsider the thumbnail 🙈 For me, music is absolute key for getting in to the right mood and find the correct flow of the video and edit. So i think this is a really important step (for me at least) Can’t wait to do some work together with you soon 🤭
@@tshansen Same here, looking forward to do a collaboration sometime in the future when we find time for it and a suitable project. I have a lot to learn from you, probably not so much the other way 🙄
A lot of thinking and work go into your videos, Thomas. You can see that. And as you said: Don't waste your viewers' time. My style is different, though, much less of a precise plan, more of a spontaneous approach. Like voiceover in only one go. I wrote like that as a journalist and it has worked well for me. For the editing process we're not that much apart. But your final videos are a million miles better. So there is room for improvement ;-) Learning from you, Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you Günter, and yes, we all have our different approach to this. But there is some golden rules that just seams to work the same for everyone. I just started experimenting with voice over this latest year, and I find that to be a great tool for keeping some of the parts in video interesting. Always great to learn new stuff, and not to mention, be inspired by what others do. I find my self looking trough a lot of videos at this moment, trying to find the right angle for my next long video, and see what I can be even better at for my new projects. Cheers 🤩
@@tshansen I love learning new things, as you do, Thomas. But I won't go into too much detail and precision with video editing. I rather go riding ;-) Hopefully a lot of travels next year again. See you, Günter
Hahaha, det er litt jobb ja, men når man finner gode arbeidsrutiner er det utrolig kjekt å holde på med (for meg) 👏🏻🔥 Jeg vet ikke om Tv2 er så aktuelt, men NRK derimot 😆
@@toby7504 hahaha, det har vi hvertfall ikke i kommunen 🤣 ja, sykkelen står parkert for sesongen nå! Ned å kikke på ny sykkel i dag, nei ikke som jeg skal kjøpe 😝 bare filme
@@tshansen så det er ikke en ny 1200 pågang 🤔🤔😄😄. Håper at jeg kan bruke sykkelen til pendling denne helga. Snø og is er stort sett vekk, men det blåser noe infernalsk. 😮😮. Tunnelen er gratis på sykkelen ellers hadde eg bilet.
@@toby7504 Nei, jeg tror ikke det altså. Den blir nok for dyr og for tung for mitt bruk enda (tror jeg) Men jeg har lært meg at jeg aldri skal si aldri 🤣 Her er det fortsatt glatt å jævlig på småveiene, men hovedveiene er tørr og fra for snø. Men som du sier, det blåses noe helt sykt
I would recommend Norway over Sweden because of the scenic views and so much nicer nature experience. When it comes to skill, the level is about the same in both country’s
Thank you Fred, nice to see you again? how did the exam go? This is the røde lavalier or what it's called connected to the røde wireless go. Did some small adjustment in the equaliser
@@tshansen it went quite well, and I’m glad it is finished for the most part! Oh the røde? I have the smartphone version of it and don’t like the sound of it, thought they where similar but then I might giv it a try :)
This is the lav mic that comes in the wireless go bundle or what’s it’s name. I would really love to try their new lav this year. The flat one. Did you see that?
Nå har du blitt flink Thomas. Dette er grunnen til at jeg ikke orker å legge ut videoer fra mine turer blandt fjord fjell og skogsveier. Du skal ha mange takk for alt du legger ut på kanalen din.

Du har stått høyt på besøksliten min lenge. Har bare ikke passet seg å stikke innom når jeg har vært i området. Men det skal vi få gjort noe med 👏🏻 (jeg vet jeg har svart på denne kommentaren før, men virker ikke som google registrer det? )
Hello Dean... well, the short version or the long version? I could probably make a new video about this subject as well.. My main camera is a Sony a7s iii, I use the Mavic Air 2 drone, and the GoPro Hero black 7
Thank you Scooter 👏🏻 Well, yes and no 😆 I shoot in flat (protune) on my gopro, and i shot in flat (d-cinelike) on my drone, this add one extra step of dynamic range. And on my Sony i change between S-log 3 (flat) S-Cinetone and no picture profile. Det best result is without a doubt S-log3 but it takes quite some time to Color grade, so I don’t use that if I’m run and gun shooting on my motorcycle trips, or don’t need all that extra quality in the footage. If I’m doing some cinematic sequences i prefer to do it as flat as possible, but then i know i will spend some time to perfect the picture in post. I will use some time to explain this in the upcoming video and show how little difference it can be but how huge difference it is in workflow. Hope this answered your question, but i will elaborate on this exact subject in the next video. Cheers 🔥

@@tshansen haha, this is getting very weird! 😂😂 I’ll make a video soon, don’t you worry. Just been relaxing getting this shoulder fixed. I’ll be back soon! 🤟🏻
Thanks mate. As for myself a wannabe creator very useful video. If not a secret, how many hours you spend on editing video? Roughly. And yeh, respect for no clickbait thumbnails. I unsubscribe straight away if I see someone posting video with that stupid annoying "surprised" face on thumbnail. Same Instagram stories with "new post" message. Drives me nuts lol
Thank you mate, I hoped this could answer some of the many questions i get about this subject. And there is no secret about how many hours i use… it is a lot 🙈 It all depends on the video, like this video i used some time to get all the footage and write a good script. I don’t use that much time editing travel videos, i feel that is much easier. I guess i work with video or video related stuff about 4 hours each day, if not more. Yeah, i get mad about that trend my self. I absolutely hate it and i hope people can get inspired to stop that crap 🤭

Yeah, I choose to put some extra work in my videos, but I think this is because I find the process and this whole thing so damn rewarding. Really enjoy the whole process. Click bait is the modern social media cancer... damn I wish we could get a vaccine against that crap. When we finally managed to get rid of duckface, we have this crap 🙈
@@tshansen yes I would love to revisit North Cape and also do the only two national tourists routes (of 18 total) I not yet have ridden. The one to Varanger and the one to Havøysund. Last time I was at North Cape I had not enough time to do them. I will ride up north late June I think and with my big tourer, the GS. Not decided the route yet. Would love if we could meet somewhere along the route and may be ride together some of the route.
Another good video..
Yes,please make a video on how you colour grade & match the footage.
Thank you Mark. I see that people are curious about this, and i have to say… I’m by no means a expert on the topic, but i can show what i know about it and how i do it. Maybe it can be of help for some. New video coming soon. Cheers and thank you for the comment
You are a magician and your videos are always amazing. I am sure a lot of viewers have no idea of how much time and expertise it takes. Keep them coming and thank you.
Thank you so much Les, appreciate that 👏🏻 I think it is only fair to show how the whole process works because it is so easy to compare yourself to people who are "better" or makes stuff of higher quality. But you miss the part where they show how much more time they spend on each section of the production. Much more to come mate 🔥
All good points. Thanks for another interesting video 🙂
Thank you Federico 👏🏻 I hope you are doing well and don't have any travel restrictions. Cheers 🍻
@@tshansen so far no restrictions 🤞.
But few hours ago my bike decided to break down in the middle of a Turkish road 😅 so now I'm waiting for getting her back and see what was the problem
I subscribe to about 10 chanels. Yours is the best by far. Best in video and content.
Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your followers.
Greg
Thank you Greg, really appreciate the nice comment. Glad you liked this, merry Christmas to you as well, and a happy new year. Cheers 🎉
Thank you. This is a very clear and informative video that I can use. Keep it up.
So glad to hear that mate... 👏🏻 Will do my best 🎥
Great video, amazing work, perfect expertise.
Thank you Kamil... glad you liked it 🔥
Thank you for sharing. I follow very similar process with my videos. I guess balance between quality vs time spent in edit is the key, at least for me. Cheers 👍
Thank you sir, yes... I think a good balance is key to every video. And if you are eager to learn for every video you will step up the game with every video you make. Thank you for the comment. Stay safe brother. Cheers 🔥
precious, as usual!
Thank you 👏🏻
Very good info. Thanks 👍
Thank you John, hope it had some value. Know you make a lot of videos your self. Cheers
Fantastisk! Takk for tips! :)
Bare hyggelig, kjekt å høre den falt i smak 👏🏻
Very good and informative! Thanks a lot!
Thank you Göran 👏🏻 Glad you found it informative 🎥
Really good 👍
Thank you Ronny 😆 when will we see you doing video work again?
Thank you Thomas for letting us take a look behind the scenes of your film creation. I am always happy to accept your ideas and tips and hope to be able to implement one or the other thing next year. Best regards, Claudius
Thank you so much Claudius. Always a pleasure to help others to become better or be able to answer questions that people have. The more people we teach the more we get back 🔥
Great video... 👌
Thank you Sir… appreciate it 🔥
Great video! Love it. My husband and I are getting a GoPro this winter to make some videos about backcountry skiing, camping etcetera. I will definitely reference this video later! :-)
I started out with only a GoPro my self in the beginning. It is a great tool for so much. Just make sure to learn the different settings and how to get most out of it, and learn for everytime you film. It is a great journey. Have fun, and thank you for the comment
@@tshansen Thank you to! :-)
Good tips Thomas! For me as a new beginner youtuber, very useful. 😊
Glad to hear that Kalle, makes me happy to hear. I know there was a lot of this i wish i know sooner when i first started this video journey. Cheers
Great to see the similarities but also differences in how we work. I agree music is an important part, not only to get it right but how things may change in the edit when you find the right song.
Script works for me like this.
1. I think about it and get it all in my head
2. I write it down, somewhat different
3. I shoot something completely different not using my notes at all.
But still I think all 3 steps are contributing to what is actually created. Just not the way I thought.
I had no idea you worked like this mate 👏🏻 Cool... yes, when I'm writing down for my adventures or riding stuff, I write down subjects, but not what to shoot. Because it differ so much because of location and weather etc. So I just try to have a plan in my head so I know what to "look" for when I'm out riding. I do think we might have very similar approach to this. Great mind thinks alike... on that note? when will you learn me how to trow my tent up? 🤣
Thanks Thomas. Your explanation of your process makes stating appreciation for your videos all the more important. Your are a very talented man. Now to start...at the beginning!!!!🤣🤣🤣 P.S.: this off-season content is very relevant.
Thank you so much Roger... you know I appreciate it. It is a little bit overwhelming to get so much support and so many nice comments. I understand that this can probably be a great thing to do more of. Try to show and share more of how I work and get the results in my videos. I think many people can appreciate that. If you have any questions, never be shy to share them. I will do my best to cover most request 🔥 Cheers
Thanks Thomas for sharing this detailed "behind the scenes" of your video production. I am sure it's not easy to combine all these elements but i must say the outcome is outstanding, with an incredible attention to details. Your videos are very engaging.
Thank you Christian and glad to hear you liked it. I was not sure how well people would receive this kind of content. But I guess it is ok to share some more of behind the scenes and how I do some of my work in the future as well. For me it is all about the details 🔥🎥
Interesting video! I must say I admire your structure and attention to details in your work, and the end results show that it pays off.
I can relate to your comment on searching for suitable music - that takes a lot of time, some times my impatience may lead to poor choices…
When it comes to color grading I just have to trust the GoPro output as I am ever so challenged in the world of colors… 😳 - me fiddling with colors could give some rather amusing results… - the option would be to get my wife to do the color grading for me, but I am afraid we do not share the interest in making motorcycle videos - can you believe that!?! 🤭
Thank you Tor 👏🏻 For me it has changed everything for the better with setting up and structure my videos like this. Yeah, the music search can be a real pain sometimes, but so rewarding when you find one that works. Are you color blind or something like that? Haha, don't be sad for her lacking interest. It means you have all the reasons to go out and do your own stuff 🤣👏🏻
@@tshansen Not completely color blind, but struggling with separating some shades of green/brown, green/yellow, blue/purple and so on. You better not ask me for color advice… 😱
@@TheTor_Detours I worked with a guy who had the same struggles, you may learn to adjust only on waveforms, but still that is almost impossible or a huge job. I'm not a huge fan of GoPro colours, but the colours on my sony is so damn accurate straight out of camera. I will probably ask you for road and trail advice then. and I can give you color grading tips 🤣
Just what I been looking for, you have inspired me to improve my own videos, Thanks very much! 😎😎😎
Thank you sir, so nice of you to share that. Appreciate it 🔥 Practise makes perfect (they say)
This explains why your videos are on the next level. I find the real challenge is to balance the enjoyment of the journey without comprising it with video production. I guess it’s an individual choice on what takes priority and when. I know nothing about colour balance and edit only on standard iMovie, so pretty basic tools to play with. Cheers mate, great video.👍🏼
Good Morning uncle 👏🏻 Yes, this can be a challenge for me as well... If I'm with a group or another rider, I focus most on the interaction between us. When I'm alone I focus on scenic stuff. Every morning I try to set a plan of what the day should bring. I tell the story with me waking up, and leave camp, then I can ride for hours before I film again. If it is a place, me getting some food, looking at a tourist place etc. and I finish the day with we arriving camp at night. If you portion out the day and you let your riding buddy in on it. It is amazing how much you can film and tell without filming (if you know what I mean) Maybe I should try to do a behind the scene video parallel with my normal video, so it can show more how I do this? would that be of interest? iMovie is a good tool, but limited in many ways. But it does all the basic stuff great 🔥
Now that would be an interesting video, behind the scenes...but a real challenge to capture on video, or an editing nightmare. To be honest I've never seen that done on a travel/motorcycle Channel. Could be interesting. Take care mate and if we don't chat between now and Xmas have a great Christmas/new year 🤶 👍🏻
@@GreenString Yes, I would probably need one of my mates to help me or follow me along to film. Not sure how and what yet, but I see it as a good challenge. I hope to have 2 more videos ready before Christmas, but yes, happy xmas to you as well uncle... and a great new year if we don't chat before.
Crisp and clear presence Tjommi! Loved the scen at 4:50 and very nice light in your living room. Ofc we want to see how you color grade 👌 Great description of your process and thanks for sharing. Perfect series off season 😁👌
Thank you so much Tjommi 👏🏻🔥 always enjoy your feedback. I get some help from the huge window I’m sitting close to, but i wanted to show that you can get good lighting without going all youtube studio influencer way 😂 The only thing i struggle with is sound and Ecco in here 🤭 I understand i need to start working on a new How To video then. Color grading it is 🔥 I think i will try to do a more behind the scenes series as well…. Where i try to film when i’m out filming and share my thoughts on why i do as i do when I’m out riding. Will at least try one episode and see if people like it.
@@tshansen I'm sure that we, your followers, will love it Tjommi 🤠🍺aaahhh.
@@Braapncamp Hahaha, i think i need to do a recap of all the ååååhh’s this year in one long Christmas Eve video 😂
@@tshansen Definitely a must do video! 😁🙌🍺🤌🏻
Thank you
You are welcome mate 🔥
Good workflow and your video quality bares testament to that. 👍
Selecting the right music always adds a new level color and depth to story being told in the footage.
Thank you mate, glad you liked it. Selecting right music is so damn important, but so rewarding when you find the right one. will try to add some more of this now and then 👏🏻 Thank you for the nice comment
You are so right: I f*cking hate everyone saying "Please subscribe, click the bell and blablabla".
If you're content is good PLEASE be sure I'll subscribe without you "ordering me" or reminding me every f*cking minute I need to subscribe.
Ohh and the click bait... God damn those. I intentionally don't click any videos that are using click-bait because I can smell the bait from far away :)
Cheers to your good content!
We are on the same page mate... damn I wish this stopped. I'm 100% sure you piss off more people than you gain with this crap?
Very clean & immersive storytelling
Super well explained. Congrats bro!
Thank you Adrian, nice to see you still hanging in there an produce beautiful content as well 👏🏻 Do you plan out some of your videos? Cheers
@tshansen Yes Thomas, I have footage from every ride I took this summer, but I didn't have the time to edit. I have some projects at work now, but for the next year I will try to add something more... ;)
All the best to you and your family!
@@transylvanianrider Hope you get the time to edit some of it. Always enjoy great content, and you have some impressive video skills mate. The same to you brother... have a great Holliday 👏🏻
Always enjoy your content Thomas thanks for putting in the effort to produce it. I’m hoping to do a bucket list trip to Norway in June / July 22 if we can travel freely. It will be good to see some of the beautiful places, from your videos, with my own eyes. I’ll have some cameras with me so thanks for the tips.
Thank you Mark, nice to hear that 👏🏻 Sharing is caring for me, so the pleasure is all mine. Sounds like you are in for quite some adventure then. I really hope to get out of Norway next year as well... I'm going over to Sweden early season to meet up with a couple of friends there. And I will try to reach North Cape... so many things I would love to see, but time....time 🤣
Thanks for sharing your workflow and your thought process behind your videos! 👍 Very interesting to see that you actually plan what music to use in the very beginning of the project. Hard to find anything to disagree or complain about here, except you should have used a half naked woman in your thumbnail and named the video “7 easy steps nobody knows about to become a TH-cam superstar” 😂🤣😂
Hahahaha, you made me spill my beer mate 😂 you win best comment today 👏🏻 I need to reconsider the thumbnail 🙈 For me, music is absolute key for getting in to the right mood and find the correct flow of the video and edit. So i think this is a really important step (for me at least) Can’t wait to do some work together with you soon 🤭
@@tshansen Same here, looking forward to do a collaboration sometime in the future when we find time for it and a suitable project. I have a lot to learn from you, probably not so much the other way 🙄
you are great vlogger, Tack så mycket för all tips ❤👌
Takk takk, veldig hyggelig å høre 🤩🔥
A lot of thinking and work go into your videos, Thomas. You can see that. And as you said: Don't waste your viewers' time.
My style is different, though, much less of a precise plan, more of a spontaneous approach. Like voiceover in only one go. I wrote like that as a journalist and it has worked well for me. For the editing process we're not that much apart. But your final videos are a million miles better. So there is room for improvement ;-)
Learning from you, Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you Günter, and yes, we all have our different approach to this. But there is some golden rules that just seams to work the same for everyone. I just started experimenting with voice over this latest year, and I find that to be a great tool for keeping some of the parts in video interesting. Always great to learn new stuff, and not to mention, be inspired by what others do. I find my self looking trough a lot of videos at this moment, trying to find the right angle for my next long video, and see what I can be even better at for my new projects. Cheers 🤩
@@tshansen I love learning new things, as you do, Thomas. But I won't go into too much detail and precision with video editing. I rather go riding ;-) Hopefully a lot of travels next year again. See you, Günter
Great as always mate ☕🇳🇴
Jævla med arbeid mann.. Imponert rett å slett. TV2 neste.
Hahaha, det er litt jobb ja, men når man finner gode arbeidsrutiner er det utrolig kjekt å holde på med (for meg) 👏🏻🔥 Jeg vet ikke om Tv2 er så aktuelt, men NRK derimot 😆
@@tshansen stats ansatte har bedre pensjons avtaler 😄😄. Sykkelen satt inn for vinteren?
@@toby7504 hahaha, det har vi hvertfall ikke i kommunen 🤣 ja, sykkelen står parkert for sesongen nå! Ned å kikke på ny sykkel i dag, nei ikke som jeg skal kjøpe 😝 bare filme
@@tshansen så det er ikke en ny 1200 pågang 🤔🤔😄😄. Håper at jeg kan bruke sykkelen til pendling denne helga. Snø og is er stort sett vekk, men det blåser noe infernalsk. 😮😮. Tunnelen er gratis på sykkelen ellers hadde eg bilet.
@@toby7504 Nei, jeg tror ikke det altså. Den blir nok for dyr og for tung for mitt bruk enda (tror jeg) Men jeg har lært meg at jeg aldri skal si aldri 🤣 Her er det fortsatt glatt å jævlig på småveiene, men hovedveiene er tørr og fra for snø. Men som du sier, det blåses noe helt sykt
Many good tips here, thanks!
Glad it was helpful 🤩 Cheers
Question; to do your first TET. Would you recommend Sweden or Norway?
I would recommend Norway over Sweden because of the scenic views and so much nicer nature experience. When it comes to skill, the level is about the same in both country’s
Views are better in Norway too!
Yeah, this is true 🔥
@@tshansen White sand at the beach is nice tho
Nice bro 👌 good to see a video from you again 👍 what lavalier mic do you use there? Sounds very neutral
Thank you Fred, nice to see you again? how did the exam go? This is the røde lavalier or what it's called connected to the røde wireless go. Did some small adjustment in the equaliser
@@tshansen it went quite well, and I’m glad it is finished for the most part! Oh the røde? I have the smartphone version of it and don’t like the sound of it, thought they where similar but then I might giv it a try :)
This is the lav mic that comes in the wireless go bundle or what’s it’s name. I would really love to try their new lav this year. The flat one. Did you see that?
@@tshansen no haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll have a look
I all my music in my video I made my self😀👍
Sorry, i did not quite understand that? Do you make all your music yourself?
@@tshansen yes ,in my video, aint that great?
That is amazing… making your own music i bet is a lot of work. Cool 🔥
@@tshansen thanks, pleas check out👍🙃
Nå har du blitt flink Thomas. Dette er grunnen til at jeg ikke orker å legge ut videoer fra mine turer blandt fjord fjell og skogsveier. Du skal ha mange takk for alt du legger ut på kanalen din. Hvis du trenger en seng en natt på Østlandet eller litt mcfix så vet du adressa og hvor du får tak i meg-Hilsen fra "mekkern" Vidar.
Takk for det Vidar. Man trenger ikke gjøre så mye ut av det for å lage godt innhold, men det vil gjøre en stor forskjell for de som sitter i andre enden å skal se på. Du har stått høyt på besøksliten min lenge. Har bare ikke passet seg å stikke innom når jeg har vært i området. Men det skal vi få gjort noe med 👏🏻 (jeg vet jeg har svart på denne kommentaren før, men virker ikke som google registrer det? )
Would you mind sharing what equipment you use for filing, I’m big fan and fellow KTM 890 rally rider in Canada
Hello Dean... well, the short version or the long version? I could probably make a new video about this subject as well.. My main camera is a Sony a7s iii, I use the Mavic Air 2 drone, and the GoPro Hero black 7
@@tshansen awesome thanks will check that out….
Love it! Yes, color grading would be great. Also do you use a flat profile when recording on all your devices?
Thank you Scooter 👏🏻 Well, yes and no 😆 I shoot in flat (protune) on my gopro, and i shot in flat (d-cinelike) on my drone, this add one extra step of dynamic range. And on my Sony i change between S-log 3 (flat) S-Cinetone and no picture profile. Det best result is without a doubt S-log3 but it takes quite some time to Color grade, so I don’t use that if I’m run and gun shooting on my motorcycle trips, or don’t need all that extra quality in the footage. If I’m doing some cinematic sequences i prefer to do it as flat as possible, but then i know i will spend some time to perfect the picture in post. I will use some time to explain this in the upcoming video and show how little difference it can be but how huge difference it is in workflow. Hope this answered your question, but i will elaborate on this exact subject in the next video. Cheers 🔥
@@tshansen Great! Thank you so much!
With the music selection, how do you get away from copyright claim?
As long as you are a subscriber to one of the services, you have full license to use the music for your videos online. If you stop subscribing you still have license on the videos you uploaded in the period you was a subscriber
@@tshansen thanks so much buddy.
Can you please recommend the service you use?
On a side note.. you videos are phenomenal.. I am new to you tube content creation and am learning so much from your vids..
Bravo dude. I was planning on a video covering this stuff but now I’m gunna have to try a bit harder to not just repeat what you have said. I agree with all of it (although I did make a little “subscribe” lower third with a bell… don’t hate me… 😉).
I have no idea why you don’t have more subscribers. Maybe you should make a video of you washing your bike in a bikini?
So nice to see you again Mate, what have you been up to? You should put it up there no mater how similar it is, always nice to see how others structure and do their work. Haha, send me your number and I send you a bikini picture. I have hair growing placed you don't want to see 🤣
@@tshansen haha, this is getting very weird! 😂😂 I’ll make a video soon, don’t you worry. Just been relaxing getting this shoulder fixed. I’ll be back soon! 🤟🏻
Thanks mate. As for myself a wannabe creator very useful video. If not a secret, how many hours you spend on editing video? Roughly.
And yeh, respect for no clickbait thumbnails. I unsubscribe straight away if I see someone posting video with that stupid annoying "surprised" face on thumbnail. Same Instagram stories with "new post" message. Drives me nuts lol
Thank you mate, I hoped this could answer some of the many questions i get about this subject. And there is no secret about how many hours i use… it is a lot 🙈 It all depends on the video, like this video i used some time to get all the footage and write a good script. I don’t use that much time editing travel videos, i feel that is much easier. I guess i work with video or video related stuff about 4 hours each day, if not more. Yeah, i get mad about that trend my self. I absolutely hate it and i hope people can get inspired to stop that crap 🤭
