Hey guys, I just made this with the goal of sharing the experience with people around the world. What do you guys think of the video? Do you think its interesting? How should I promote it?

  1. It's very brief. Too brief to offer much of an experience of the event

  2. It needs instructions. The first two times I watched it I only noticed your arm. It wasn't until I experimented that I understood that I could move the image around to get other views.

So -- put a bit more work into it before launching it.

Humm, I go to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta every few years, world's largest balloon event, 500-600 hot air balloons. On a cold crisp morning in October watching 500+ balloons rise all at once into the CLEAR mountain air just doesn't compare to a balloon ride in the muddy air over Angkor. I mean Angkor is great, but you REALLY need a rare clear morning to get the full effect for HD video. Same for flightseeing trips around Everest, if the mountain is shrouded in clouds, no point in going up, let alone shooting HD video. I understand you probably didn't have the option of hanging out till you got "the perfect day" but someone else did, or will, and his video will be in demand, your's not so much.

thanks, did you notice its a 360 video, as you can move the screen around to see all angles?
