We need more vids to show people how truly beautiful and amazing North Dakota really is. I've lived in South Dakota and in Arizona, I'm back in ND and never leaving
I'm from north Dakota, but living in Indiana right now, and I really miss north Dakota, is such a beautiful state and so peaceful, It may be hard for some people to appreciate this state with its barren landscape and cold winters, but if you really experience north Dakota (riding horses in western north Dakota, hiking it buttes, its farms, snowmobiling in the winter, appreciating its peaceful scenery, tons more) you will realize its like a hidden gem of the United States. North Dakota will always be home, no matter where I live later in my life.
5th Dimension, you took the words out of my mouth. I really don't think I could have worded it better. I've been living in Central Oregon for 40 years, but spent the first 16 years of my life in North Dakota. I wouldn't trade those 16 years for nothing. Some will appreciate the state for what it offers or doesn't offer, and some will downright dislike it. After-all, what is there to see? The mighty Missouri River, carving it's way through the state. Fort Mandan, south of Bismarck a few miles. The largest Holstein cow in the workd. The state also boasts somewhere between 6-8 Colleges and Universities. And, to think that there are those from out of state who find that a particular program they want to study was found only at a college in North Dakota. Case in point, Molly McAuliffe, from Klamath Falls, Or., moved to Fort Yates, N.D. to attend college and pursue her equine specialties. I know about that because I read the article in Prorodeo Sports News. In the 90's, she was pursuing her barrel-racing career I could go on and on.Just like others who live in the great state of North Dakota.
I also moved from North Dakota to Indiana but North Dakota will always be home to me. My sisters and I still have the family farm land and I dearly miss it. I miss the sounds and smells of spring on the prairie, the western meadowlark and the smell of fresh turned earth is like heaven.
I live in North Dakota and I truly is a beautiful state there is so much to see like the Peace Gardens, Roosevelt Park, outdoor historic sights like the mounds in this video. And the people that live here are great and help each other out just a small peaceful state
Great video, but too short for my taste. I grew up in ND in the 1950s, but family moved away because of new job for father. Great to see some pics of my childhood and a reminder of how beautiful the state can be. Winter can be gorgeous as well.
Born there and lived their for over 35 years. Great state to raise a family and work .. Hated the winter though, so moved away.. Kind of regret it now....
The region is beautiful and the sense of space and optimism in western North Dakota is great. Medora is a great little town. I will visit eastern North Dakota next year.
I live in the southwestern part of ND. It is beautiful on this end of state. Very hilly and the heart river to the north and the Cannonball river to the south. A beautiful place. The winters are not for the weak. They are brutal.
I still miss ND. I've been to most of the places in the video. We moved away in 1997 and haven't been too thrilled with Kentucky or Massachusetts. I just wish the ND winters weren't so harsh and there were more jobs.
Awesome job! I'm from Minneapolis, but lived a few months in Bismarck. This video really does an excellent job of capturing the joy of the summer in ND. I also have the same camera...and a son who does professional video editing...so I speak with some knowledge of the subject--this is really, really nice.
It's really a cool place. And I get where you're coming from, I tried to follow the music and stay concise so the watcher wouldn't get bored. I disagree with the establishing shots bit though. I organized it Chronologically: Indian Village shots followed an establishing sliding shot, the house was introduced by a pan, and the ending pan over Bismarck was shot on top of the building I establish earlier. My stubbornness aside though, thanks so much for taking the time and checking it out!
I agree it looks beautiful, especially in the summer. You did a great job on capturing the season. Now you need to shoot it in the winter as it will give you and your viewers a whole different perspective.
I would recommend the sony NEX-3n, or the canon t3i. I would consider making room for better lenses, but DSLR's are the best option for a cinematic look. You can PM me with any other questions.
Awesome! Thanks so much from a native North Dakotan. Good luck in the competition. Please let us know how it turns out. Received this link through Travel North Dakota Facebook page. You will get many hits from this link.
Great job man! I actually want to visit there now. A few pointers, I think it should have more establishing shots so I know where I am, I felt I jumped around a lot, even thought it's generally the same area, and some of the shots were like an unfinished sentence... you set it up, you start showing it, then you're like, NOPE. Apart from that, great shots, good sound editing and nice location. Congrats :)
Hey bro! I live in ND and i'm making a short video for my church. You have some amazing footage and I was wondering if I could use some of this footage for b-roll? This would mean the world. I've seriously never seen footage of North Dakota like this!
Reminds me of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation with lots of untouched, undeveloped landscape. A place where one can still go on a vision quest and remain alone in a natural setting. Just what I see here. Never been there and it may not be accurate what I have said.
Emma Lai-rodriguez nothing there is a giant cow in new salem, the enchanted highway, sone stuff in bismarck and fargo, not really anything else. if you do go to bismarck then make sure to go to the capitol building, it is beautiful on the inside, and they just remade the museum last year.
Emma Lai-rodriguez, don't listen to Ser Scout; evidently he/she doesn't get out much. There are a lot of things to do in ND. Depending on what you like, you can do everything from outdoor activities, explore the history, arts, entertainment. Here is a good starting place: www.ndtourism.com/things-to-do
Stunning Views. My wife, children, Dogs and I were in North Dakota back in June. My new home in less than a year. May I ask the title of the background music? It's very relaxing and works great with the shots.
I've lived here for 5 years now and am still in awe that we have electricity! Not a great place to live if you like the outdoors! The people are the best but the weather is worst!
I live in North Dakota and don't get me wrong I live looking at the beautiful scenery in the summer but my summers are more like dust flying in a dirt road on a dry day from me drifting my go karts and dirt bikes.
Don't be mislead by this "Feel Good" video, it's like going to a movie after seeing an awesome trailer and being let down. This video shows only the best of the best in North Dakota, in all reality it's a really cold, windy and boring state--also "NO JOBS" your better off going to Minnesota-please spread the word..
lol I went to Montana blew past a state trooper doing 85 mph i slammed on the brakes as i drove by he just waved laughing he looked at his buddy i knew what they said tourists ... lol 90 mph gotta love it

Why do I feel like it's so quiet and depressing and that there's nothing to do there

Awesome video! Congrats on making it to the finals!
I completely agree! Makes me want to see more of your work. You have talent.
Born there and lived their for over 35 years.
Great state to raise a family and work ..
Hated the winter though, so moved away..
Kind of regret it now....
Very good. I am originally from N.D. and really miss the summer weather there.

Thanks! More people need to know about North Dakota and hopefully this'll help.

I lived in NEMONT. Went to North Dakota a lot, but didnt see all this cool stuff..some of it yeah, but not all.
Thank you so much for the opportunity!
It really is a beautiful state; the vast open space is the gateway to the soul, one is spiritually anchored with its vastness.
Not where I live, I hate dickinson
I agree it looks beautiful, especially in the summer. You did a great job on capturing the season. Now you need to shoot it in the winter as it will give you and your viewers a whole different perspective.
If you get luckey summer comes on your day off!

Mike Pasternock.
How do you do? Your video is awesome. I need your assistance with my power point presentations.
I live in ND and I know where all these clips were taken but I live in Dickinson but I go to visit my grandma in Bismarck every once and a while

the rest of the year in north Dakota is harsh cold winters
Meanwhile this is winter here in Aus.
Awesome! Thanks so much from a native North Dakotan. Good luck in the competition. Please let us know how it turns out. Received this link through Travel North Dakota Facebook page. You will get many hits from this link.
nice work man, first time I've seen anything about this place haha
you ought of making another video but in winter serious as spectacular in winter in north dakota
Great job man! I actually want to visit there now.
A few pointers, I think it should have more establishing shots so I know where I am, I felt I jumped around a lot, even thought it's generally the same area, and some of the shots were like an unfinished sentence... you set it up, you start showing it, then you're like, NOPE.
Apart from that, great shots, good sound editing and nice location. Congrats :)
Minot is really cool I live there and if u sub to me I will sub back
I love ND but I wish it was as green as when that was filmed we are in drought
Here's me falling in love with North Dakota.
you should do one for winter too!
I lived in Dickinson and I miss my prairie flower, Lonna Bren.
Nice job, makes me want to visit. One of the few "Western" states remaining I haven't traveled to.
Joseph Christopher Lee missing from Williston,ND since 6/13
An overnighter at Concordia Lutheran church
I was there..i miss the place..
Thanks! and nope, I shot it at f.22 for a lot of the shots
Hey bro! I live in ND and i'm making a short video for my church. You have some amazing footage and I was wondering if I could use some of this footage for b-roll? This would mean the world. I've seriously never seen footage of North Dakota like this!
I dig it! Nice work.

I’m giving you your 200 sub
PS beautiful scenery in this video
Outstanding job
Looking for Kevin, Randy, Julie P. Remember the Old Broadway?
Maybe you should show a video of the winter😂😂😂😂
Are you from ND?
So...Are they going to legalize it to make up for their winter months ?
Where in North Dakota were those mountains?
The southwest part of ND is in the badlands. And it's amazing
Excellent!
Very nice!
I'm going to Jim hill and I live in Minot
Nice job mike looks great and really cool -lucas
WOW!!!
golden summer season perfect sightseeigns
perfect
As a Florida man, I'd just freeze to death in the winter.
What's some fun things to do in ND?
Emma Lai-rodriguez nothing there is a giant cow in new salem, the enchanted highway, sone stuff in bismarck and fargo, not really anything else. if you do go to bismarck then make sure to go to the capitol building, it is beautiful on the inside, and they just remade the museum last year.
Oh okay, thank you so much

Here is a good starting place: www.ndtourism.com/things-to-do
Medora, Badlands, Turtle River Park, cities like Minot and go to a Norwegian festival they host every year
I don't understand normies who ask about "things to do", complain that a place is "boring"...
Stunning Views. My wife, children, Dogs and I were in North Dakota back in June. My new home in less than a year. May I ask the title of the background music? It's very relaxing and works great with the shots.
North Dakota trong trái tim tôi
North Dakota is stank but you made it look slightly less stanky, nice job
I live in South Dakota
great
belle.
I'm from Cali and this seems too lonely for me !
There's 4 main big cities in north dakota
DONT WORRY Commiefornia.. Ishh
Good, stay there. I feel more lonely in a big city than I do in the country.
Montana, N.D., Minnesota. It's not for everyone.
Yes now people can see that our state ISN'T completely covered in snow year round
Ironicallt north dakota has the 9th hottest tempuratuee in us recorded history
I've lived here for 5 years now and am still in awe that we have electricity! Not a great place to live if you like the outdoors! The people are the best but the weather is worst!
1 month later: Ah man its already cold
I live in North Dakota and don't get me wrong I live looking at the beautiful scenery in the summer but my summers are more like dust flying in a dirt road on a dry day from me drifting my go karts and dirt bikes.
"Hidden door - dark forest of America

LosDelFLOWnyc
I'm from ND and think I would have an anxiety attack in NYC. 😉
You're not even going to give yourself a chance. Try a month, anyway, before you say no.
I think somebody smoked this State
