Earlier this year, a three-man crew hit the road to visit 11 countries and capture “almost a terabyte” of video footage.
After what must have been a marathon editing session, they wound up with the videos below, each ~60 seconds long and focusing on a theme that defined their travels (and, really, all travel): MOVE, LEARN, and EAT.
Each features a different style of storytelling, with MOVE composed of clips spliced together at an almost seizure-inducing frame rate. EAT starts out with split-screen closeups of food, then shifts to closeups of the act of eating itself.
But LEARN was my favorite — this is where the real narrative is. These guys weren’t flying around for the passport stamps or the mission of making a few pretty videos. In LEARN, I sense a genuine desire to connect with people and culture — which is where all the best travel stories start.
Plus, I think I’ve climbed that wall in Railay.

Such awesome travel videos!
Woa! They may well have taken a terabyte of footage, but the resulting 3 minutes of eye candy is utterly divine!
Yea man, this this is amazing. How did he log all that footage while on his trip!?
Awesome. Just awesome.
Him and his buddy have got some filming talent:3 They could probably land a career somewhere. Very nice.
Brilliant footage and editing. Although it’s just too much of a teaser! I want to know more details about this journey. Why, where, when, how much, difficulties, inspirations, achievements, love, loss….I want it all! : )
