Euro Hostel Glasgow- Social Network Video

Hostel Videos

EuroHostels started this discussion 15 years 11 months ago

I have finally gone through the process of putting together a video of our Glasgow Euro Hostel for promotional purposes. The chosen route was to make something that is a little entertaining but still with shots of the property, and a general 'feel' of our operation, without being just a staid old video of rooms etc that some agencies offer. This video was for specific use on our Facebook page and for other Social Network pages, including YouTube. I filmed and edited this myself (a very VERY long process I might add) and the main character is my flatmate, comedian Marcus Ryan.

Any thoughts/feedback greatly appreciated. Check it out here. Why not sign up to our Facebook page and receive Special Offers as well.

Or here of course http://uk.youtube.com/user/EuroHostels

Cheers

I like it. It's friendly and the hostel looks great. It looks like you put a lot of work into it.

The bar looks great. I think it's a good idea to show bathrooms in hostel videos because guests want to know if they're clean :)

What video software did you use? I listed some free video editing programs here, but I don't know if it's easy to create text effects with them...

By the way, you can embed YouTube videos directly in the forum like this:

I suspect that embedding videos is one of the factors in the popularity of a video on YouTube...

I just used Windows Movie Maker. It was a long learning process but once you explore all areas of the software it is very good.
Thanks for the feedback by the way. We took over 3 hours of footage and managed to cull it down to just under 6 minutes. It literally took me about 30 hours of di*king around at night... (with a glass of wine in my hand most of the time).
