How Needed Are Sheep In An Irish Travel Video? Really

In preparation of my Ireland trip beginning next Tuesday, I decided to attempt to bone up on travel video generating by watching a lot of Anthony Bourdain (I’m finishing up Season 1) as well as some old Michael Palin travel video (for you Netflix folks, you can stream his initial two shows on your computer: Around the World in 80 Days and Polo to Pole).

Two things I’m realizing: 1) My videos would be a ton much better if I had a cameraman to follow me along (kind of obvious, but extra so now as I watch the likes of Bourdain and Palin) and 2) I require much more on-air interviews/interactions. This was a small tough in some of the locations I’ve been because of the language barrier, but in my upcoming Ireland trip I’ve procured an interview with the Dublin Tourism Board along with a couple of young Dubliners who’ll be giving me some great insight into the city. Though, #1 presents really a issue with #two, but I’ll figure that out.

The above clip is of Lonely Planet’s own Cahal McGroarty (guess where he’s from) sharing the highlights from his own country, from the wild, rugged outdoor in the “Kingdom of Kerry,” to Galway, which Cahal describes as 1 of his preferred places in Ireland.

He’s even able to function in some requisite shots of sheep crossing the road at 4:37, which, from what I can tell, no Ireland video is complete without. Let it be now recognized from this day forth, that I shall endeavor to, and shall attain myself, the capturing of my extremely own sheep-crossing-the-street footage for my own Ireland video, or I shall deem the whole trip an utter failure. To be continued . . .
