Hello, I'm Jon Cohen, founder of Globetrotteralpha.
I'd like to welcome you to my hometown of Calgary Alberta, in Canada.
For the past 6 years I've been creating travel videos and sharing them through Globetrotteralpha's
online presence on Youtube, Vimeo and Facebook.
The intention in these travel videos, is to let you, the viewer, experience the places
I've had the pleasure of visiting in a more… realistic manner.
I try to achieve this by shooting in 4K ultra high definition as well as using a high quality
microphone to capture the natural sounds of the places I've filmed.
The first person point of view, using a camera stabilizer, is to help achieve the feeling
as though you, the viewer, are there with me.
and by not adding any commentary or music to the video, I believe that the audience can have
a more… immersive experience.
Up until now, all of Globetrotteralpha's videos were created and funded without the
help of sponsors or any other external financial support.
It's worked quite well up until this year but various changes, notably financial, have
made it difficult to continue creating these videos.
Which is why I've decided begin this Kickstarter project.
I'm here today to ask you, the audience, for your help in creating the next travel video
I'm very excited about this next travel video because it will take Globetrotteralpha to
a different part of the world where I've yet to film in, namely…East Asia.
The intention is to film 'Asia's World City', also known as…Hong Kong.
If you're willing to pledge 1 dollar or more towards this Kickstarter, it will help
a great deal in creating this travel video.
All of the funds shall go strictly towards the creation process, specifically travel
expenses such as flights, accommodation and food.
If this Kickstarter project is a success, I'm planning on filming it
in the next few months.
I intend to post regular updates during the creation process.
If you haven't done so yet, please go to one of the listed Globetrotteralpha sites and
check out my previous work to get a sense of what you can expect from this travel video.
To all of you around the world who have tuned in… thank you and thank you for your support!
