​Riding the Devil’s Nose Train – Nariz del Diabolo

Description

Starting from Alausi we took this old train driving the historical route via the infamous Devil’s Nose path. Enjoy a panoramical train ride through the Ecuadorian Ande[s] without risking your life like all these brave workers who built this route between 1899 and 1908.

What Works Well

This video is a ride along from various vantages on the Devil’s Nose train and the tracks’ series of switchbacks high in the Andes.

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.
