Channel Title: Bashir Abu Shakra Channel Description: <video> THE WAR 4K - My Transformation Journey Description: “The War” is a film five years in the making, which represents my personal transformation from loneliness to empowerment and self-discovery, from solo camping and hiking. Throughout my life, I faced a deep struggle with loneliness —a battle reflected in the song lyrics that underscores the film, while the stunning visuals of nature capture the momentum behind my transformation in overcoming it and transforming it into solitude. Each landscape in the film was thoughtfully chosen to fit with the song's lyrics, which took me five years to complete in eight different countries including China, Venezuela, Switzerland the Dolomites in Italy and more. The contrast between the song and the visuals highlights how nature helped me overcome my struggles, pushing me toward new dimensions of possibility and self-discovery.

It portrays personal growth and self-discovery and showcases the idea that even when one dream doesn't come true, there are opportunities to find new passions and rise to new heights in unexpected ways. </video> <video> This Is Mongolia 4k Description: This year, I decided to take one of the hardest but exciting decisions I've ever made, exploring Mongolia for 18 days. I didn't know what to expect, all I had with me is prior months of exploring this country through Google Earth and then transforming this exploration into real life. The spots I was interested in exploring were so remote and very hard to reach even with the car, considering there're no roads. 90% of the travel agencies did not approve to take me to the spots, considering how remote they are, until one of them told me, I will hire for you a very experienced driver, and you will direct him where I'm interested to go, but this expedition has to be private since no one would be willing to do that with me. I accepted the offer. What I experienced and witnessed you will see in this film. It was one of the hardest challenge I've ever made but never regret doing it, I became a better person after this spirtual exploration expedition.

This music was chosen before the idea of starting all my adventures, I also used to listen to it while hiking/climbing to inspire me more while watching these scenes in real life. It pushed me for 2 years to have commitment and patience to wait for the perfect scenes to fit this powerful music from Hans Zimmer. Many disappointments, multiple climbing for a single mountain just hoping to capture the shot I'm imagining and dreaming of while this music is playing in my head all the time. This film is now officially competing in the in the Hans Zimmer international contest to make a music video for one of his most powerful scores, from which I chose this score. This film is the live orchestral version and some shots were updated and edited to fit with the competition. I'm not sponsored or supported financially by anyone.

The length and intensity of this music has pushed my passion not only for the mountains but also for the most remote natural wonders around the world, so I visited Brazil, Portugal, Norway, and even South Korea just looking for the most dramatic landscape on Earth. The passion for curiosity and exploration for remote nature landscapes had always pushed and still pushing me even further. This will not stop here, I still have many crazy plans for example in the Empty Quarter and Sahara Desert, Siberia and many more.. I had many disappointments throughout the whole journey, sometimes I had to repeat many climbs 2 or 3 times in 4 days in a row, just to get the epic weather, or because it was raining. But I always had the vision of completing this film with this music in my mind, I could already see it, I just had to do it!! This film would not have been possible if I wasn't traveling/hiking alone. Loneliness made me stronger than ever before and had pushed my limits non-stop.

Together with a porter and two other guides, I spent the first 10 days hiking Mount Roraima for almost 100 kms, reaching the farthest point possible. With no signal and limited food and drone batteries, I had to be very selective about what to capture, patiently waiting for the moment I had come for: filming La Proa as I had always imagined, with the music from Dune inspiring me to push the limits of what I thought I could achieve. After returning from Mount Roraima, I saw the immense potential this country holds, so I continued my journey to the Orinoco Delta. I spent three days exploring the area with Orinoco Delta Lodge, an unforgettable experience. From there, I traveled to Canaima National Park to witness and film the world's tallest waterfall—my long-time dream, inspired by the movie Up. Although I spent a night near the waterfall and captured some good drone shots, I felt it wasn’t enough to fully complement Hans Zimmer’s music. So, I took a helicopter to fly over and land at the falls. I had only two minutes to capture everything before the weather changed and the clouds completely obscured the view, forcing us to leave quickly. My last stop was Los Llanos, a 14-hour bus ride from Caracas. Inspired by @Diaz's photos of this place, I was able to complete my film with the last two shots that brought everything together. This experience has been life-changing, not only because of the country’s natural wonders but also because of its people, who were incredibly cheerful and willing to help, despite the economic challenges they face. I promised myself to create a video that would truly represent Venezuela and show the world what it deserves. It certainly won’t be my last visit to Venezuela, as there is so much more to explore. * My travels and videos are independently financed and 100% unsponsored.

The stunning 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera is joined by an upgraded 166mm tele camera and an all-new 70mm f/2.8 medium tele camera. I was stunned by the different creative shots which could be done with the different focal lengths with least quality changes. I found myself using the 70 mm and 166 mm focal lengths more often resulting in more cinematic shots and parallax effects. Having all these 3 lenses in only one drone has allowed me to be able to hike and climb more mountains with such light, small, and compact drone.

Hiking/climbing alone was a big challenge to me, but I had to reach my goals no matter how hard it is to reach them. Through these years, I suffered from mixed emotions, from sadness, loneliness and depression to patience, perseverance, and commitment to reach my goals. Behind every scene you see in this film, there are endless stories of patience, not giving up and isolation, which led to the result of this compilation. 3 years ago, when I first bought my first drone, I never thought that this thing will inspire me and push me to create more, completely on my own. It was always with me through everything, and the fact that it never disappointed me to express my feelings and the epicness of these places after the hard climb, makes me realize that drones are more than flying machines, they could be your closest friend. I created this film to share my story to prove that there's still hope somewhere out there for any of us to accomplish his/her dreams in life, despite the hard time we are all going through.

Every day there was a hike for at least 5 hours and drive for 2 hours between every spot. I've spent 70% of the nights camping in front of these views just to catch the sunset and the sunrise. The chosen music inspired me to go to the spots and shot them the way it would really fit with the rhythm and beats of music. My last video in Switzerland was 4 years ago, I'm glad its finally time for the video to get a huge update since then. Hope you like it! I'm not sponsored or supported financially by anyone.

This was the hardest challenge i've made in my life, since i decided to cover most of the mountains, known and unknown, which can take 2 years of going back and forth. That's not counting the hundreds of hours i've hiked/climbed to get to these views and with all my camera gear. Most of the time i had to camp there, just to be alone in the shot, or to get the sunrise. I had many disappointments throughout the whole journey, sometimes i had to repeat the same climb 2 or 3 times in 4 days in a row, just to get the epic weather, or because it was raining, Monte Pelmo for example, which i climbed 3 times in a row in 3 days, and many others. In this film i decided to choose a music, which can fit the breathtaking views i've filmed, and express my feelings very well. In this film i want to deliver a message, what a one person can achieve alone, if he believes in himself and keep going after his goals.. I'm not sponsored or supported financially by anyone.

My journey began with a long solo-hike along the unrestored Jiankou section of the Great Wall of China, known for its wildness. Though typically requiring a local guide, I chose to challenge myself, almost losing my way on the return through the forest. I then explored the restored Jinshanling section, dedicating a week to appreciate and pay tribute to those who died building these steep walls through the mountains. This adventure inspired me to head my way into the deserts of Inner Mongolia, where I visited the remote Badain Jaran desert, known for its unique lakes. Months of planning using Google Earth led to four days of camping among the world's highest dunes. My journey continued into Xinjiang province, where I navigated its vast desert with the help of satellite views, despite the area's danger and isolation. I was warned by many to go there, after four men died crossing this desert just three weeks ago. However I advised my driver to take the highest safety measurements, including the best 4x4 car, enough food and fuel, and an emergency call since there was no signal for six days. Upon safely returning, I headed south to witness the Avatar Mountains in Zhangjiajie and the stunning Guilin mountains, though weather conditions limited my time there and my documentary of these stunning mountains. However I was able to witness a single good sunrise in a whole week, which was a blessing for me, it was better than nothing. This journey was filled with challenges due to language barriers and police constant questioning in trains and airports as a solo-traveler entering very remote areas. Camping with minimal resources caused me to lose seven kilograms during the trip. My focus was on capturing these breathtaking landscapes rather than ensuring proper meals due to limited backpack space filled with camera equipment. The China project remains ongoing, with much more of this vast country left to explore. I hope you enjoy following along on this journey! My travels and videos are independent and unsponsored.

The first time I heard the music used 2 years ago, I was instantly touched and inspired, but I realized how challenging it is to deliver the emotions it gives through my aerial footage of spectacular unseen landscapes and the human scale. It took me finally 4 years to feel satisfied and ready to use this music and share my personal story with it, which makes it the biggest project i've ever made alone, and even during my studies in the university. This was the hardest challenge i've made in my life, since i decided to cover I can't describe the amount of effort that went in all these years, sometimes I was risking life, but I never gave up and kept pushing forward. I always knew in my imagination how exactly going to be edited and which landscapes will fit with it, which motivated me even more waiting for this moment to share it with you! I'm speechless, I'll let the video talk instead, enjoy! I'm not sponsored or supported financially by anyone.

This was one of my best travel experiences so far, I liked the people of Brazil and everything related to it. The Music of Hans Zimmer was chosen before even traveling to Brazil, I just had this imagination in my mind of what I'm going to see based on a very limited images from the Internet. I knew very well what awaits me and how the music going to be a match for it. I kept listening to it while being in the middle of these landscapes. Sadly what happened at the end canceled many other plans in Brazil and thus this short film could not be completed and hopefully will be fully completed in the near future, if the budget allows so. This trip and all others are not sponsored by anyone, my budget comes only from saving money while studying at the same time, that's why there is only one film every year.
