Lord Howe Island - A video journey

in #dtube5 years ago


About the video


In the Tasman Sea, between Australia and New Zealand, lies an almost crescent shaped rock, a lagoon, a reef, an airstrip, and the island of Lord Howe. It is closer to Australia than what it is to New Zealand, making it a part of New South Wales.

It has a permanent population of under 400, and the number of tourists are limited for a number of reasons. You can't camp there; and there's only a limited number of beds at the hotels, lodges, and resorts, which make up the bulk of the island's economy.

The Island is World Heritage listed, due to its diverse bird, insect, and marine life. Much of the forest on the island is untouched by human hands, and it has a number of walking trails through what feels like primordial rain-forests, full of ferns, banyan trees, and palms.

It is truly a unique place. I've been there twice, and not much changes. This video shows some of the scenery I recently captured on my trip to Lord Howe Island. I haven't done any video editing in such a long time - but I have had a camera that's been sitting idle for far too long. I hope you enjoy watching this exploration. :)

dear @holoz0r
A real fantastic place! For travelers like us another point in the world to put on the list of dreams ... we had to go and see googlemaps to study the place where we find this island that we did not know. Congratulations also for the video, it seemed to be there, walking in the forest until we get to the sea, beautiful!

Up a hill, down a hill (though the forest) and then you find the beach. The birds aren't always on the rocks there, it was mating season when I was there.

Those trees are stunning. The vegetation is blooming there. It really looks like there was nobody there before you. I like your video.. some parts (around 1 min) look like the camera was attached to some animal.. it's quite low and a little shaky but as I said I do like it :)

Thank you for sharing! You're lucky to have a chance to visit such a beautiful place :)

I was using a gimbal, and had it low to the ground. The shakiness was probably my legs getting tired from the hike.

Great video. I actually liked the camera movements. It felt like watching 3D or something. It was amazing. Beautiful place. Music was well chosen. It builds upnicely with the sense of anticipation of that mazing blue sea after the impresive green vegetation.

Thank you. First time in a while I've done any video work. This was shot with a gimbal, but my footsteps are still pronounced in the footage. Still have a bit to work on!

Hello therr @holoz0r!

Such an amazing video capture of the island.. was it an island? It seems that it is inhibited. It seems that the island has not yet been discovered.. hehe.. I love the scenes in the woods, I feel like watching a horror movie with it. I also love the crisp blue ocean.. Basically nature's beauty always put as in awe.

Thanks for sharing the video. Keep making more..

Cheers! ❤

Yep, there's 400 permanent residents there. A lot of the place is simple, untouched wilderness. You could definitely film a horror movie there at night, the birds make incredible wailing sounds that are like babies crying.

Oh I see.. its great to see the little forest still a virgin. Its luscious greens and tall trees makes nature more alive..

Yeah i told you so! Hahaha maybe after you this there might be a movie taken at that place hehe..
