If you're into travel photography and video you've heard of Sam Kolder. You can find tutorial videos about how to get his transitions and how to shoot to make your videos flow like his does. This video breaks it all down and gives an overview of what gear he uses and how he shoots in a certain way to be sure to get the transition from one shot to the next down so he can edit it in the style he's known for.
Brands pay him to do this, and apart from his massive following, his transitions play a massive part and makes his videos so appealing to the brands and viewers. The analysis also breaks down the time-lapse use and breaks down how he uses them to split between scenes or places.
Sam Kolder is a known travel videographer. He's built a name, and it's not something we should try to copy. His style is almost cliché "Sam Kolder-ish." What we can take away from this is to build our style, realize what gives us each our unique style, and how being consistent with the delivery and execution of the video will garner the following if it's done with the same drive and production value that he does.

I am sure there is a market demand for this kind of photography. Good luck to this young man, but it is not a new phenomenon. Just that the internet and social media have made it more accessible and everyone is trying to cash in on its marketing potential.
Awesome post, next time I travel I'm attempting it
