He took a diff approach like the one id take. He didnt meet that chick at a nightclub. He met her during the day and chill with her NUMEROUS times before sealing the deal.

And we still dont know if some of that was hidden camera ect.

But even all that CAN be done, it just be pretty difficult imo

[The_CEO]

First of all your writing is your strength.

Your deadpan humor and delivery in one of your videos i watched is great (in an apartment in Iceland i think?).

I'd keep it simple and maybe occasionally create video posts like that, that are basically an extension of your blog. Sometimes showing where you live, like the one you made, other times some other aspect of a place you're visiting, whatever that may be

I read this and something didn't sit right with me. I recognized that dickish attitude before in a member I banned before named Gringo. I looked the accounts and sure enough, KingOfScotland = Gringo.

You made it to 477 posts before I recognized you. Good job.

So that means all that banging he saw every night in hostel in LA was a figment of his imagination alas "Sutter Island?"

But I digress, now reading Mixx comments coupled with a few suspicions I have I guess I have to conclude that Travel Bum is full of shit and the show is staged.

I honestly think that travel bum MUST pay those girls something OR he has hidden cameras - seriously, when a girl would see me approach with a a fancy looking TV camera ( and film crew) the first thing she did was cover her face with her hand, followed by a jumpy "please turn that camera off" demand!

Now, when I would approach girls and give them a "heads-up" that I am filming, then they would either a) be excited and allowed themselves to be filmed, or b) asked to be paid, or c) deny being filmed completely and bolt in another direction. The latter 2 options is what I experienced in Colombia the most 90% of the time. Very rare did one volunteer to dance, and act silly or just be filmed saying hello knowing there is a camera filming her.....and she was not paid to do so.


Mixx

I agree with you.

Here is the other thing I was thinking about on The Travel Bum videos.

He makes it very clear that he "didn't pay anyone for "sex".

Sure, fair enough.

However how much did he pay these girls to "model"?

If he paid them $1000 (or whatever sum) to "model", he can technically say he "didn't pay for sex".

It is kind of like the classic loophole, "I am not paying her for sex, I am just helping her out with money for her college classes", routine.

No hate here, just keeping it real.

I actually think the guy is a talented film maker and enjoyed his videos.

[WanderingSoul]

Here are some cool videos this guy did: http://livingonimpulse.com/abroadening

He actually hired a camera guy to film and edit them for him I believe, so maybe not practical for Roosh, but thought I would share. Or maybe Roosh can work out a trade with a videographer. Guy films and edits videos for Roosh, and Roosh lets him tag along and schools him on the game. Might not be too hard to find someone to do this in major cities.

Here are a couple of the videos.

The intro on his homepage is fuckin dope, too. http://livingonimpulse.com/

It is possible that he paid them although all the videos I watched the people do seem to act very naturally. I also think the camera around the neck is a very clever way to secretly film people, kind of hiding in plain sight.

Probably the most important thing is that this guy is a talented film maker which beats most of the other stuff. You can have a big budget and be an international player but that doesn't translate into being able to make a cool and interesting video.

[Pilgrim37]

From the looks of those vids,it's Amazing how professional you can get the films with software you can buy or which is already on your computer!

[Luckystar]

Personally, I enjoy the globalnanpa.com blog. The video interviews give a good snapshot of the whores and the video montages are very slick...makes me want to gain 50 lbs and die of AIDS in Pattaya when I'm 70.

Yeah I had problems getting Polish girls to let me take pictures of them with their clothes AFTER having sex with them.

Then in Latvia a girl who lived in England for a long time let me take a nude photo on the first night.

American/British girls love the camera. Eastern European... not as much.

Im gonna experiment with this and see how girls in Germany react.

[bengalltigerr]

Roosh, if you're gonna do travel videos, make them short, film the hottest chicks, the best venues and if possible get a dude to record the whole thing for you.

[Giovonny]

Any Brazilians remember a show called "Sabba Show" ???

It was on about 5 years ago when I was in Rio.

The guy would go around to all the beauty pageants and interview the girls about their butts and stuff like that.

[Blunt]

I'm one of the guys that would be more interested in just seeing the night and day game venues and the typical crowds. The pickup aspect is going to be different for everyone depending on what kind of reception your particular style and game gets in a particular country.

Krauser uses hidden cameras for his videos, but really trying to pay attention to a 10 minute pickup attempt is torturous unless its your dick on the line.

[Menace]

Roosh, since it's so cold, now's your opportunity to make some videos. Let's see that pimp Soviet era apartment you have...time for Kribski with Roosh V.

It was a local Rio show..I watched 1 or 2 episodes when I was there...

[Laner]

The guy in travel bum is using this camera around his neck. Its much smaller than SLR cameras, has interchangable lenses (it looks like he uses a 50mm, which is a very short lens) and does not look so professional.



He is also using a sennheiser mic of some sort, worn on his body (at one point a girl asks him what it is). I think its this one.


He also uses a canon 5D (you can usually tell when he is shooting the 5D, due to the depth of field and his ability to "pull focus" on the fly. Most of his really tight shots, beauty shots, and filler are him using the 5D.

The guy has a lot of skill in composition, has a good voice, and shoots a tonne of footage.

As far as paying the women goes, I think the approaches he does on the street are legit, but he probably gets his erotic models off of Model Mayhem. There are a lot of models that are willing to work for next to no money if they can get good footage and images for their demos and portfolios.

I even see some do it for free.

Also a tactic that I see the guy Andy employ is him giving the girl the camera at the start. Most women when they look through the camera are pretty unimpressed by the whole thing and get bored quickly. After this, they are more likely to forget about the camera.

The mic actually attaches to the top of the camera. I am looking at purchasing the gh2 model.

I like the videos but i had a look at his blog and the guy is probably loaded beyond belief. Any one can pick up girls like that.

From his blog :

The 2 guys who stayed at the penthouse 888 that time had barfined 40 girls ! But calculate, it is really not that outrageous expensive, I am sure many people could live/experience the same if they save a bit of money. Let’s say a girl in general costs PHP 1500 per day, that makes PHP 60k for all, another 17.5k for the room, maybe about PHP 40k to entertain all for a day, so total around PHP 120k for a one day, wild debauchery party – devided by half just 60k – so that’s a bit more than EUR 1000 or close to EUR 2000 when coming alone. I am sure that everyone could experience it if that’s your dream.

Anyone who thinks 2000 euro's a day ( in the Philippines !!) is not outrageous expensive must be loaded. Or it's something i will never understand.

[durangotang]

Roosh, my vote is to keep it simple at first. If it becomes too much work, you wont enjoy it and neither will we. In time you can expand as you get more proficient and comfortable.

I'd be content with you shooting and narrating little travel observations about girls, locations, etc. you don't have to film the interactions. Some things are better said in words. Just something to fill in what you describe with video.

You don't have to post right away, but I think it'd be a great addition.

Also, think about the fun you could have hiring a little college age hottie to film you as you get better.

Hi Mixx,
where can I find your video? I'd love to see it.

[kali]

go to dpreview.com and ck out the forums for camera info.
I own the Panasonic GF2 and it can give you very good quality in a small package.

Gmanifesto.

I looked at the videos you posted above, and I have to break them down for you to further clarify EXACTLY what I meant on my previous posts on this very thread.

No. 1 - Did you see these guys talking to ANY hot girls? None, guess why? See my previous post #7 above.

No 2. Notice how they were partying and approaching/opening more MEN than any women...wtf? I am not going to hire a film crew or buy a prosumer HD camera to interview local foreign men, and get their faces on my video!

No 3. Notice how ALL of the girls turned their face away from them every single time in both clubs!!! Colombian women do NOT want to be filmed - she is probably out there dancing when she just told her husband/BF she is at home with her mom! Yes, they freak out about their steady BF who takes them shopping every Sunday finding out their slutty exertions behind their backs - so discretion/privacy/reputation means everything!!

No 4. These guys did not so much as get a ass or play from a single girl - those shitty haircuts are not helping either! Not to mention they are dressed like they are going to a soccer match, not a night venue!

Like I said w/o any cameras, I would have been making out with half of the girls in there, with a camera - zero!


With all due respect to your style Gmanifesto, but those are examples of what NOT to do if you want to film a playboy lifestyle in foreign countries. Especially those haircuts, they look and act like hyperactive retards on speed!


Mixx

Mixx -

I am with you.

That makes me think even more that the Travel Bum videos are paid/set up.

That guy is obviously a talented filmmaker, so he knows what he is doing.

Roosh -

Here is another one to look at:

http://www.viddler.com/explore/rtwblog/videos/31/

Anyone know how to embed viddler videos?

Here is another series to look at for ideas:

And another (this one is pretty decent actually. I may or may not know this guy):

(It is not lost on me that these would vibe-wise and stylistically be totally different than yours, but I think you can get some ideas from them).

All three of these video series are good and so is the In Transit, and Travel Bum are good. They all have very good looking and good speaking would be actors. Were these all done as pilots for TV or what? It's is obvious that all of them spent a lot of money to shoot and edit these videos. How are these "guys" making any money off of these video series? They are also playing to the mass market: good looking guys and girls, not heavy players. What % of the men are real players 1% - 3%, anybody know? That’s a small market to appeal to, so if you can keep these videos tame, you can get girls to watch them too. I guess what I see is that there is a lot of competition in the exotic travel videos now. God I wish they'd take Rick Steves off and put someone else on!

I want to see more Roosh videos. whatever they may be. Humor, responses to criticisms, travel videos, pickup related, whatever. Even another extra normal video.
