From the red seas crystal clear waters and white sand beaches to the rich history permanently etched into the rock formations in AlUla. Saudi Arabia had peaked my wonder and curiosity like a child again. As I walked through the tight cracks in the unending rock clusters of Al’Ula my mind would think back to a time where humans roamed the land without the modern day technological advancements we are all so used to. Our guide jokingly said that the etchings in the wall are like twitter but thousands of years ago. Very true. Humans would use the walls to communicate where to
Find water, tell stories and share art. What a way to live. I was also pleasantly surprised on this trip to be able to see dolphins jump along side our boat as we sailed to the islands on the Red Sea in Umluj. for some reason I would have never thought dolphins could be found in the Middle East, so this was definitely a surprise for me. And To top it off visiting the city of Riyadh and the surrounding Al Turaif district, seeing the preserved old town where it all started and seeing first hand the history that shaped this country into what it is today. This trip was full of surprises to say the least and I’m excited to be able to share with you all some of the memories I’ve captured during my time in Saudi.

When @oneplus asked me to make something for the launch of their newest phone the “open” I decided to use this as an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and make a short film as well as most of the music in it as well. It was a month of experimentation, learning new things, late nights (a good amount of all nighters), successes and failures but through it all reigniting my love for story telling and creating.
Thank you OnePlus for making this project happen! :)

All music sourced from MusicBedMy new Favourite Drone - DJI Air 2Skold2021-04-15 | Join my school and online community: bit.ly/koldercreativemasterclass
With its 20 megapixel 1 inch sensor, 5.4k video recording and 12km video transmission the new DJI Air 2S is without a doubt my new favourite drone. Ive been able to push this thing to its limits over the past few months while shooting the official launch video and I can undoubtedly say that this thing is a powerhouse and a tool im very excited about adding to my arsenal of camera gear.
Ive been testing out the new DJI FPV drone since back in December of 2019 and ive put together this video to let you guys know my thoughts! Overall this drone is game changing in the world of FPV for several reasons and im excited to take this thing on more of my journeys around the world :)
I can’t believe the day has come. After what feels like forever (more like 8 months of working on and off) I’m excited to announce my first ever online course @koldercreative is live. When I started this I had no idea how much of an undertaking this project would be. But after a lot of revisions and learning, the course is finally at a place to go out to the world and have its first round of students.
This first instalment of the course is focused on the foundations of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Shooting, Technicalities and FPV. A lot of very important information that I wish I had when I was first developing my workflow as a creative. Honestly Even a year ago when I considered myself a “highly skilled” editor, i still would have been able to drastically speed up my workflow and improve my quality with the information i share in this course. I walk you guys through my editing process in both Premiere Pro and After Effects then dive into the world of FPV as well as shooting and business.
This is just the start for me. My vision with this course is to constantly be upgrading my content and updating these lessons with everything I've learned, and everything I am yet to learn throughout my journey as an editor / filmmaker.
Thank you for your continued support. I love you all!My Wave Transition Break-Down! (Surf to Clouds)kold2020-10-05 | Hope you guys enjoyed this breakdown, It was a lot of fun to go back and deconstruct the process of how i put this transitions together. Let me know what you think! this was the first time ive ever made a video like this and im excited to make more! :)
The new Mavic Air 2 is awesome. Blows my mind that we can get 4k60 footage at 150mbp, 48 megapixel photos and 34 minutes of flight time. excited to take my drone game to the next level with this one!
also this is not a ad for DJI. although I do work with DJI regularly but they did not pay me to make this video, this is just my honest review of my experience using this new drone for the past month! I have several mavic 2's and zooms but this drone just takes the cake for me. Love everything about it!

"Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs most, is more people who come alive." - Howard Thurman
6 months ago I began this project, and since then it has consumed every part of my being. The day I would click upload seemed like it was a million miles away. It feels weird knowing that it's over. Never in my life have i put this much of myself into one project, but this one was special and I knew i had to give it my all. Collectively I've put well over 500 hours of focused editing into this video. I spent 3 weeks on a flipped sleep schedule where I would wake up after sunset and work throughout the night in complete isolation and go to sleep as the sun would rise. I made a lot of sacrifices to make this happen. If you guys want to support me and continue seeing more passion driven work please share and make sure to follow me on all my social channels!

This Vlog was super fun to film and couldnt have asked for a better squad to make it possible! we actually came up with the idea for the intro midway through the trip and shot it on our very last night in Jakarta. We didnt know if it would work but it turned out better than expected haha! hope you guys enjoy this one.

They say amateurs find themselves waiting for inspiration to strike, while the pros get up and go to work. Whether it’s in the pre planning stages or post production, I would have to say that music is the single most powerful creative contributor to my work. It always influences the direction my projects take.
With a huge collection of music, Musicbed is a place for my mind to run free and get inspired without having to worry about the dreadful music licensing process that typically takes a ton of time and money.

This trip was life changing to say the least, and i felt compelled to share with the world the story of Vetpaw and the incredible things they are doing to help these animals.
During this trip my eyes had been opened to the reality of poaching and how animal populations are diminishing faster and faster each year because of this. With some species of Rhinos already gone extinct, the remaining Rhinos are in the danger zone. As the demand for Rhino horn goes up, so does the value, and poachers are risking it all to kill Rhinos in order to get their hands on a horn.
Organizations like Vetpaw exist to protect these animals from the harm of poachers and create a safe and comfortable environment for these animals to live in. Vetpaw has just opened up their second sanctuary and have plans to create the largest rhino sanctuary in the world. This is no easy task especially without the funds to make it happen. Thats where you can help! Vetpaw is a donation based organization and need donations to operate and expand.
1.If this video has impacted you and you feel like helping, the first step would be to just share this video. :) raising awareness and spreading the message is the first step.
2.If you feel the need to help even more than you can go a step further and donate directly to Vetpaw here: http://vetpaw.org/karmagawa

So when Huawei hit me up about their Huawei P20 Pro smartphone to take it on my travels I was really excited to try it out! Especially after seeing it ranked the #1 of smartphone camera in 2018 on DxOMark for a while. I had this phone for over 3 months and I gotta say that the camera is really good. For photo quality, this phone compares to a DSLR. I have a ton of flexibility when editing because of its RAW format and 40mp sensor.
Hope you guys like the review! Let me know if I should do more reviews like this! What should I review next?
