My YouTube Video "Life as a Business Traveler"

I travel a lot for work and Life as a Business Traveler is a fun couple of minutes I put together from iPhone video snippets I take to share with my family. Didn't really know how I would use them until I discovered iMovie. Members in metro Atlanta will be very familiar with the first scene; it's one that's likely been in their 4R's windshield many times.

I'm working on the next one and comments/feedback are welcome. (Be kind.)

It was inspired by an outstanding video called Life as an Airline Pilot that anyone with even a casual interest in aviation will enjoy. This one is much more polished than mine and is a pretty awesome watch. So many cool little things to watch for, like as they're turning onto the rainy runway at the start, you can see the weather radar painting the precip at lower left.

That was cool and well done! I would never have figured out a solar energy generation facility, never seen that before. I like the part with the restroom experience, do they really want to know? How often do you have to travel for business?

Thanks! As for your question, so far in 2016 I have San Diego, San Jose (CA), Sao Paulo, Columbus (OH), Mexico City, Anchorage, and Santa Fe on the schedule...and that's through the end of April. Calgary is in the works.

It's a love-hate relationship. Love traveling, hate being away from home.

Great video!! iMovie is amazing, very intuitive.

I loved the theater-like music throughout the last 80% of the video; the slow climax of musical energy was a great fit to the abstract travelling clips.

If I were to improve this kind of video, I would use simpler, consistent in-video scene comments, slow down some scenes (record with higher FPS camera?), and increase the length of some scenes.

Again, great video, thanks for sharing.
