I made this video as a surprise to my friend and shipped it to him a week before we were set to leave. Footage is from our backpacking trip two years prior. It was a lot of fun to make, and suffice it to say that on this latest trip we took tons of video for a future video. All footage came from a crappy Canon digital camera. Doesn't look great on a TV, but for internet videos it's all you need (not to mention a lot easier to transport). Nearly all digital cameras sold today have a video feature -- use it! Video focuses a lot more on the party/nightlife side of our trip, but we were recent college grads and that material was just easier to translate into a "movie trailer" type production.
