VERMONT | Beautiful Destinations Beautiful Destinations 8 Pogledi • 4 godine prije

Visit The USA (@VisitTheUSA) and hall of fame skier, John Egan, show us ski Thrills and zen in the Mad River Valley of Vermont.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
When Beautiful Destinations notified me that I was heading to Vermont – I was incredibly excited because the Green Mountain State is one of my favorite places. Although I grew up in Israel, I’ve been visiting Vermont since my childhood. After moving to the USA, Vermont, and in particular, the Mad River Valley has become one of my favorite places. It has served as a backdrop for several of my creative projects; from music videos to documentaries and my first feature film.

ON SKIING IN THE MAD RIVER VALLEY OF VERMONT
The Mad River Valley of Vermont is known for its stunning natural beauty and has many hidden gems. The residents are only too happy to share their favorite ski run or swimming hole with visitors. Many people are acquainted with Stowe and Killington, but I wanted to showcase this region, home to small communal towns like Waitsfield and Warren. Surrounded by mountains and ridges rivaling the beauty of the Swiss alps, I knew we had to tell the story of this community through the eyes of someone who encapsulates everything that makes this place so special.

ON HALL OF FAMER JOHN EGAN
John Egan, member of the Skiing Hall of Fame, star of 17(!) Warren Miller films, and adrenaline junkie, is also the Chief Recreation Officer in the ski resort of Sugarbush, Vermont. After nearly five decades of skiing, often in the most remote locations in the world, such as Siberia and Antarctica, John still loves jumping on the lift line at Sugarbush and skiing with the locals.

The prospect of filming John Egan was rather intimidating. He is no stranger to cameras, but we wanted to capture John like never before, to highlight his duality. On the one hand, he’s a thrill-seeking skier who constantly pushes himself and his students to the next level. On the other hand, John embodies and preaches the necessity of moving and living in a Zen state. His mantra: Feel the turn evokes the importance of internal peace and a connection to your surroundings and community that one must have in order to continue reaching that next level.

ON OUR CREW AND EQUIPMENT
Our crew skied and snowboarded down the beautiful mountain, doing our best to keep up with John. It was indeed a challenge. One of the greatest things about filming with Beautiful Destinations crews is the mobility and fast pace we can move. Once we begin rolling, we make decisions based on pure creative instinct. In my personal opinion, this is one of the key elements to success, as it provides a platform for creators to constantly explore and to innovate. This project was shot entirely on the Canon 1DX MKII camera. We also used the Ronin-S handheld stabilizer for the skiing shots. The video was edited in Adobe Premiere and colored in DaVinci Resolve.

TRUE HAWAII | By Sam Potter and Nainoa Langer | Beautiful Destinations Beautiful Destinations 8 Pogledi • 4 godine prije

The true beauty behind Hawaii’s white sandy beaches and its green bright mountains.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
Hello, Sam Potter here, I’ve wanted to tell the story of home since I’ve picked up a camera. This may only be a sliver of what we have to share with the world, but I’m proud of what we’ve captured. This all started with a conversation between Nai (Nainoa Langer) and I as we sat above a waterfall overlooking my childhood swimming hole. I said, “We should start a travel-based series that gives people an in-depth look at cultures around the world,” in hopes that we could create something that encourages greater appreciation, understanding, and respect between cultures. His response was “Let’s start with home.” So, we reached out to Beautiful Destinations with the idea, and boom, here we are, (and what I mean by boom is months of hard work and the many, many hurdles that come with planning and executing a film project, hahaha) but nevertheless, here we are.
My first thought when it came to explaining a place as complex as Hawaii was people need to understand that there are two parts to the culture, the traditional side, and the modern day side. Our modern-day life represented by Kimi Werner, demonstrates our values, the way we care for each other, for our community, and for our environment. The traditional side represented by Micah Kamohoalii, shares a little about the history of Hawaii, the practices of the Hawaiian people, and most importantly, Aloha, what it means and how that too can be practiced.
Nai and I are very excited to be working with Beautiful Destinations to bring you stories like this from around the world. Our goal is to travel with respect, humility, and curiosity so that we may gain new perspectives, and hopefully we may all become a little more understanding and loving towards one another.
If you’d like to follow Nai and I as we travel around the world, you can subscribe to Beautiful Destinations’ YouTube channel and follow us on Instagram.

LET’S GO-DUBAI | Beautiful Destinations Beautiful Destinations 13 Pogledi • 4 godine prije

Let’s Go to where culture meets adventure - the architecture will fascinate you and the experiences you have will thrill you. While Dubai may be known for its lavish shopping and grandeur malls, there is so much more to explore in this desert haven. This is an atmosphere unlike anywhere you’ve ever seen, and to experience this desert wonderland in its fullest light, check out our itinerary below for Dubai’s hidden gems.

Friday:
Start your weekend by really getting to know Dubai and the things that make it so extraordinary. Venture to Ripe Market in the early morning to witness the surreal community of local talent and businesses that come together to produce this one-of-a-kind market. Here you can find artisans, designers, and cuisine galore. To continue your adventure that is Dubai, make your way to Jumeirah Beach and visit Surf House Dubai. Surf House’s unconventional and hip environment will fulfill all of your surfing and paddle boarding needs. Afterward, use their facilities to shower off and unwind in their relaxing cafe with fresh, healthy lunch plates. They even often have yoga classes held upstairs, and if you’re looking for a thoughtful and meditative afternoon, make sure to schedule time for a class. Your perfect Dubai evening will start at a cooking class where you will experience the local cuisine hands-on. Learn native Emirati and Middle Eastern recipes from a chef who collected recipes from mothers and grandmothers in the local community. Discover authentic ingredients such as 'loomi,' 'bezar' and 'malleh.'

Saturday:

Take a hot air balloon ride over the endless sand dunes for an adventure you’ll never forget. Be an early riser and venture off into the desert to experience the feeling of peacefully floating into the Arabian sky. Before your eyes, the horizon will blend into beautiful hues of yellows and oranges, painting the ideal Dubai sunrise from 4,000 feet high. Head back to the city for an afternoon of exploring the area of Old Dubai. Being your journey in Al Fahidi, a historical neighborhood known for its traditional buildings and preserved surroundings. For the history buff, make sure to visit Al Fahidi Fort, the home to Dubai Museum’s pearl-diving exhibits, as well as Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House, a former royal residence showcasing the stories of past residents through photos and documents. To truly witness the hustle and bustle that is a Dubai evening, head over to City Walk for a vast array of shopping, fine dining, and entertainment. Enjoy The Green Planet, the region’s first bio-dome that recreates the enchanting world of a tropical forest with its rich biodiversity of over 3,000 plants and animals. After you’ve worked up an appetite from your trek in the rainforest, enjoy a wonderful meal at one of the nearby restaurants and have yourself a dining experience like no other.

Sunday:
Start your Sunday with a day trip to the beautiful city of Hatta. A 90-minute drive from Dubai, set out right at sunrise to maximize time in this town. Begin your ascent for a morning hiking on the trails near Hatta’s Water Dam, where you will experience sunrise with the backdrop of beautiful mountains and glistening turquoise waters. You will feel like you are on Mars with these views, and it’s the perfect getaway for nature-lovers. On the way down, make time to rent a kayak and explore this view a completely different way. This outdoor adventure is like no other, and the blue waters rival any other like it.

After you’ve soaked up the beauty of Hatta, make your way back to Dubai for an evening safari on the desert. Indulge in dune bashing to the backdrop of pink and golden skies, and enjoy dinner gazing at the stars of a true Arabian night.

Under a Mongolian Sky Beautiful Destinations 10 Pogledi • 4 godine prije

DIRECTORS NOTES:
A whisper in the wind, a silence in the stars. Western Mongolia contained a humble beauty, a powerful vastness that’s lure only strengthened as time went on. Nainoa and I (I being Sam Potter) spent two weeks in the province of Bayan-Olgii getting to know the Kazakh eagle hunters who call these lands home. Every day started with the soft blue glow of dawn on our window, the rattle of a bitter wind trying to force its way in, and the fleeting moment of courage it took to remove oneself from the warm bundle of animal skins that made up our beds on the floor. Of course, that was nothing compared to the walk to the outhouse, or for that matter, being in the outhouse, which was four almost waist-high walls surrounding a hole in the ground. Here you’d walk out onto a plank of wood, pop a squat, and decide whether to stick your head up into the icy wind and away from the stench, or hunker down in the sweet sweet smell of warmth. I usually chose warmth, however, Nainoa said he preferred to brave the cold. After that, we’d saddle up and head off into the snow-capped countryside, from this point there are 100 stories I could tell you. Stories of snowstorms and wolves, adventures and eagle hunts, and of deliriousness and hysterical behavior. But the one I’d like to share, although a bit meek in comparison, holds great importance for both myself and the film. After a very long and very cold day, the sun was just starting to set as we returned home. Nainoa and I dismounted our horses and stumbled into the house after our host Esker. The fire was warm, the milk tea was hot, and the house was alive with the hustle and bustle of a mother's work. The young eagle huntresses, Igerim and Igerkh, had been with us shooting all day but were quick to shed their fur coats and help their mother. Nainoa and I were commanded to sit and drink our tea, but soon Nainoa Snuck off to upload footage, and I quietly started peeling potatoes. Tonight Aklut (Esker the eagle hunter’s wife) along with their 4 daughters were preparing a very important and delicious traditional dish, dumplings, and they were freaking amazing, but the reason this night was so special wasn’t because of the dumplings, but because of the friendships that were born. Barriers Were broken and true personalities came out. We laughed, played silly games and had staring contests. We cracked jokes, shared music, and ended up turning this quiet little brick house tucked far away amongst the Altai mountains into a full-blown dance party. These kinds of nights are the heart of everything to me, they’re why I do what I do, and they’re also the moments I’ll never be able to adequately share... no amount of words or cameras can capture them, and distracting myself with trying would be a shame. They’re little rays of pure light that shine through and remind me that we’re all connected, that we can communicate without ever speaking the same language and we can love someone we don't even know. I like to think that these moments are at the heart of our films, that although they can never be captured, they can be felt, that they guide, shape, and direct the stories we tell. Esker said to us at the end of the night that “we are good tourists, and that he knows we traveled far, but he hopes we come back one day, in the summer, and when we have families of our own”.
