Browntourage Intakes

I got back from Toronto recently and have spent the last couple days decompressing. Starting a trip off with 24 hrs of no sleep followed by 10 days where one gets less than five hrs of sleep a day takes a toll on you – not to mention the effect it has on your sleeping patterns.

I’ve finally caught up with my sleep and getting ready for another trip which would be this Monday – this time to Vancouver!

Today I managed to put up some “in-takes” of browntourage. Watch and comment!

Recently on Facebook I posted up a pic to get people’s feedback and responses on ways to improve the Browntourage series. In my opinion a great dialog took place and found four ways to improve the series in the next upcoming episodes.

Before I lay out the points, the reason I’ve started this series is:

I travel a lot. At least once a month I’m flying out to somewhere. There are amazing people in each of these places and I learn a lot of things from them. I also see many beautiful things – stuff that you wouldn’t see unless you left your home.

This series is my way of sharing what I’ve seen and the people I’ve met.

The improvement points are:

  • Set naming structure in accordance with the premise of the series. Change “Episode” to “Trip”
  • Keep up the coherency of the episodes/trips. Communicate where I’m headed, who I’m with, and why I’m with that person.
  • Don’t just include people, but include lot of people who add substance and content to the episode.
  • Where visuals failed to communicate what’s going on, use a narrative to structure a story/plot to enhance it and have it be more engaging.

You’re more than welcome to add to these points inshaAlah.

    Liked all the videos but why do they need editing ? They are fine as is. Maybe at most, a logo/title splash in the beginning and end of the video

  2. AlBaraa Says:

    Content wise they are fine as is indeed – but it doesn’t tell the story of the trip, nor the MANY other people I met and benefited from :-)

    There are many more intakes, but only a select few were chosen to be shared with you and everyone else. The others will be in the final video inshaAllah.

    woo that was niice.

    i loved the 40 Hadith poem the second time around.
    The amazing gem was amazing, as Sh.Yasir Qadhi is amazing mashaAllah.

    Since you have a lot of material, would u prefer segmenting the parts as:
    - before IlmWeek or in the beginning
    - during – which includes the dinner, class etc.
    - after – is the FOL liwa part and your return to Jersey

    lookin forward to its ‘release’,
    Nahyan
