Kyaiktiyo Pagoda – Golden Rock – ကျိုက်ထီးရိုးဘုရား

Description

After an extreme, bumpy ride in a truck through the jungle to an elevation of 1100m/3609 ft, I made it to Kyaiktiyo Pagoda aka the Golden Rock. I can’t believe this thing is real. It is very dangerously perched and looks like it is about to crash. I had the privilege of pasting gold leaves on it during sunset. It looked gorgeous at night and I stayed to see the first rays of the morning sun illuminate it.

What Works Well

This video takes the viewer along with pilgrims who have traveled to Kyaiktiyo Pagoda to see the sunrise on the golden rock compound and to gather together in celebration of the holy site.

Level of Guidance

What does this mean?

The Level of Guidance indicates how much the creator has imbued the video with a sense of at what the viewer should be looking.

For instance, a Level 1 video would mean that the camera has been left in place while life happens around it, allowing you, as the viewer, to simply observe. A Level 2 video might incorporate subtle visual, textual or audible hints or simple transitions. A Level 3 video would rely on a handful of hints and transition. A Level 4 video would employ multiple hints and dialogue. And a Level 5 video would rely on all of the above as well as a narrative arc that pushes the viewer forward.

Another way of looking at this would be how much production went into the video if you are considering making one of your own like it.
