I was toying with the idea of making a series and selling/pitching to Netflix. I have thousands of hours of HD footage that isn't in the YouTube vids...
I dont really know any editors at all to be honest with you, but I could easily see this to be super popular on youtube or netflix or NatGeo or anything of the sorts if edited well. Maybe do an "Ask HN" thread and explain this? Or go to some youtube forums and try to find an editor? I think theres perfect content and I am up to 32 episode, but a bunch of times the episodes are not transitioning well and I find myself confused whether it is the right episode. Also, the beginning with the intro is too long and repeated, and you could for sure make the vids longer, probs 10-20 mins per episode. Sometimes the voice is different, sometimes the camera is too shaky, but with good editing you could definitely make this into a clear storyline, but I think you would need a great editor that knows how to make this. Maybe shoot some emails to a bunch of channels and explain this to them, they might sign a deal or something and do the editing too. I am really not familiar with this industry, but I watch loads of shows and youtube channels so I can definitely say it needs some polishing. But I really love it! Also, if anything, your show would 100% convince me to buy a Rubicon more than any car ad Ive ever seen!
Absolutely I agree 100% on your feedback on the vids I have posted. I edited those while I was on the road in Africa, and I did the best I could.. but it's certainly not "high quality" !
.. I'll keep digging and see if something more can come of it!
and haha, it's good to know my trip would convince you to buy a Jeep :)
At times I was amazed what the Jeep was able to handle haha. Also another suggestion, I think putting edits of engaging with the locals or other people on your journey is really interesting!
Do you have any leads on how to do that?
