2017 has been a year we will never forget.. We relocated away from everything and everyone we knew in search for a better life for our kids.
We didn’t go far but far enough where we couldn’t ask for help if we needed it.. That has come up multiple times this year for us after multiple hospital visits because of accidents!
Plus the news of my Dad over the summer and then finally with the sad news that my Granddad passed away at the end of November.
Safe to say 2017 has been a year of ups and downs.. But we have had so many great opportunities thanks to some pretty amazing people and 2017 has given us some really good times.
I planned to start editing this video back in October but life happened so I didn’t get to start this until a couple of weeks ago.. This has been my most ambitious edit so far but I’m still learning.
I am a family man and they always come first, so I will never get to be one of these people who get to travel the world documenting it.. So I draw a lot of inspiration from people who travel and create the most amazing videos of their experiences.
A huge inspiration for this video was JR Alli.. This dudes videos are out of this world but the best bit about his videos are his transitions and sound design, he is a genius and is one to watch in 2018 as he grows even bigger.. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC94IKgdvTjCqoKqSlbj2bVA
So this is my year and I am hoping 2018 will be even bigger and better! To everyone that has supported me so far…. Thank you…. Your support means the absolute world to me and I appreciate every single one of you who has watched, thumbs up, commented and subscribed.
Happy New Year 🙂 xx

This is awesome man! Good work, looked like an epic year!
This is super amazing!!
I like it but it seems a lot inspired by jr alli 🙂
Bruh into was on point❤️
Love the second half of it. The first feels so cliche. Sorry for your loss, the last scene was beautiful
This is the first when I came across your channel, Alex. Even I am inclined to believe that to many effects rather distract from the story telling, emotions are what this video can convey at its best. Congrats for that! The end is very touching, too.
Loved it so clean and simple, yet so much detail. crazy earth zoom out at 1:20 never seen someone pull it off so smooth.
Great edits! Is this all premiere pro?
Alex this is epic! Your talent is just legendary. Well done on this edit. Certainly a master cut.
I really enjoyed this!
Nice video! very different on what we see this days, y honestly like it! ^^
ah this puts my 2017 edit to shame
Good content. Transitions are way too much. It's not even telling a story just going through random content
Wow, what a stunning piece of work Alex. And what a fantastic dedication to Paps x
Nice !!!! where did you get the presets (zoom, wish … ) ??

Such a talent Alex! I hope I can be half as good as you one day haha! I bought all of the tools for it, so excited for it to come in the mail! Crane plus, a6500, etc. Gorgeous video again <3
Can't stop. Your editing, your transitions and the way the music is chosen in your videos is a sign of your great talent. Thank you. You're very inspiring. With Love from Russia. Alexey
It is so amazing! I admire you and your video! I am a beginer and it is my hobby. Your colorgrading is amazing! Did you use LUT? I have sony a6400, gimbal ronin sc and lens sigma 16 f1.4 c and I want to buy sigma 30 f1.4 but I have to save for it :). What number od ND filtr did you use? What picture profile did you use. Help me please 🙂 Thank you for your answer. Greetings!
