Chacha Land: The dream and the nightmare of skiing Georgia
This video felt like a direct extension and evolution of the old youtube - still direct, still honest, but extremely well-produced, timed and paced.
My take on this video
This video felt like a direct extension and evolution of the old youtube - still direct, still honest, but extremely well-produced, timed and paced.
I like the approach - state the goal, state the expectations, go with it like an experiment, and even tho it didn't live up to the expectations, still show the journey. Show where it failed, what surprised, how it felt, what was wrong, why and so on.
It was a great tour of the reality of Georgia. imo, it showed exactly the reality of Georgia - yes, people are usually kind and would invite you over anything. Yes, they will usually offer drinks and food randomly to you, invite you to join them, would help and so on.
But it also shows the worse side of it - the infrastructure, the problems and the events you might come across in Georgia. This one is specific to the snowy season of the mountains, but still, very nice to see it as it is.
It's great to show things as they are, good or bad. And it's also great to show how you got disappointed. That's a huge part of such videos.
Must note an insanely high production quality in pretty much every aspect I noticed - SFX, shots, camera work, colors, pacing & timing, footage included, and the general flow. Sad to see them being at "only" ~218K subs, definitely punching far above their weight.
