Ride on North America’s Highest Train

Description

OutThere Colorado gives you a direct ticket to the top of Pike’s Peak at 14,115 ft above sea level on the Manitou Springs’ world famous Cog Railway.

What Works Well

This video is a great way of viewing the train’s travel on tracks leading all the way up the Pike’s Peak climb and allows the viewer to take in exactly what they are most interested in with limited guidance.

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.
