As a Yemeni videography enthusiast whos war-torn country only attracts media attention because of the atrocities that are being committed there, it’s evidently easy to ignore the unaffected hidden gem of our country and I have a high level of respect and admiration for your unique take of presenting the island’s true beauty. I’ve always wanted to film it but haven’t got to visit it it. Everything from the perfectly executed transitions to the narration was incredible. Thanks a lot 👏🏼.

Couldn’t have been better! Remarkable cinematic experience. Definitely saw your eye for the DUNE shots 👍🏽 this is how you promote traveling.

It’s hard to fathom a single video that is both at the same time, so incredibly well shot, beautiful and a love story to the region, whilst also being so incredibly over glorified, and indulgent with silly and obscure costumes, that have limited context for why they are in the shot. I understand the need to put a person into a landscape shot, it anchors you into the situation, but I almost get Priscilla Queen of the Desert vibes of the juxtaposition of a ridiculous outfit in a stunning environment.

I am in awe by realizing how much can be done in the world of cinematography

I get goosebumps every time I watch this video! What a masterpiece. My partner is Yemeni and he was so happy to see your content as well

@@JustinYiseverywhere It seems that you do not know anything about Socotra, about Yemen. You just talk nonsense you don't understand their meaning. The inhabitants of Socotra for thousands of years are of Yemeni origin and their genealogy is known, and it is not known that there are other residents who inhabited this island. Their language is the ancient Yemeni Himyarite language, and the Himyarite monuments are found in Socotra proving that Socotra is Yemeni. The trade of the Yemenis and their control over the trade of coffee, incense, frankincense and others thousands of years ago depended in large part on the Yemeni island of Socotra and the Yemeni port of Al-Mokha. Throwing nonsense is easy, but reading and researching with logic and without emotions is difficult for many

The footage is amazing as well as post production What could be better on my opinion: 1. Storytelling - was very nice in the beginning, but then a few minutes just of the footage feels a bit empty, so I really enjoy more the end part of the film because there was a lot of action and fun :) 2. Second song in the film was used already many times in different videos, and it makes me associate it with others You both guys did a great job and dealt with all the challenges :)
