    went to bali last May and only just got around to editing the hours of footage i took. its made mostly for my friends and family that went so its a bit personal at points. its also the first movie that i have ever made so its pretty amateur. im happy with it though so i hope you all enjoy too :)

    im open to criticism though, as long as its reasonable

    anyone want to buy a plane ticket! Man that is a good selling video of Bali.
    Nice video footage and all from one camera. I am sure you had to go through a boat load of footage just to get that. Waht a great way to document your trip.
    Thanks for sharing

    thanks guys!

    we were there for about 3 1/2 weeks

    i have hours and hours of footage, this video only scrapes the surface of what went down over there. so many things i never got on film, like a trip to a northern part of the island up in the mountains and all of the club scenes in kuta.

    Bali is heaven on earth!!!

    Some advice for you younger guys who don't have alot of ties, go to Bali and stay for as long as you can. I went last year for the first time with my son and it is truely an amazing place. The waves are insane almost every single day, and the life on land is too. Aside from the flight out, it is very cheap to live and the people are very friendly. I can tell you that I'll be back for sure. BTY are you any relations to Tim? He's from OC and hooked us up out there real well. Great guy and would help any OC'ers going out.

    I'm surprised you're not out there full-time with your brother. He is living the dream for sure and I envy him big time. I can't thank him enough for what he did for us while we were there. We were out in June and then headed to Mentawais. It was without a doubt the best trip I ever took!!!!!:D:D

    haha he is always telling me to live out there. problem is that i cant afford it. its cheap to live there but there is no way i could get a job out there. and i dont have the money saved up to where i could move there for a few months. he offered me an internship but he cant pay me.

    Tell him I'll work for waves..............as long as I can take off when the surf is good. Probably won't get much done though.

    Cool vid......not bad for your first at all. I have a ton of video from Barbados that I have been working on. This will be my first video as well. It just takes sooo damn long.

    good luck with your vid!

    clips were sweet.. I liked the cliff shot and then the random stuffed animal hahaha. I would change the letter font/color and some of the textured fades into the next clips. Other than that I thought it was pretty dope
