I’ve never been a video guy. Send me on a trip and I’ll pack two cameras, four lenses, and a terrabyte of storage space for my thousands of still pictures, yet my camcorder will get unpacked entirely untouched.

Enter Shane, my brother-in-law.  On our recent bromance to the Galapagos Islands with Gap Adventures he bristled with a small army of video cameras inluding his trusty iPhone and a series of underwater options.  I even got into the fun frequently spending time behind the lens.  He then tossed all the snippets of video accumulated over the trip and created the series of ‘movie trailers’ that follow.  I’ve gotta say…I was never big on video before but these short trailers have shown me how a few seconds of video can really encapsulate a trip.  They may not be the main course dish (that would be the 400+ I culled from my collection of 2700 and posted to Flickr here) but they sure serve as a tasty appetizer.  Enjoy!
