Today I am going to be showing you How I Create and Film My Videos. You'll see DavidsBeenHere Behind the Scenes and the making of two of my recent videos on my main channel. I'm showing you from the beginning of the day until the end, and what it takes to film/produce a full video for a 1 Million Subscriber Youtube Channel.
You can see how much planning and hard work goes into creating each video! This doesn't include the storyboarding or the editing! I will specifically be showing the making of the Clutch Burger Video and also a Turtle Feeding Video. More of this kind of content coming to DavidsBeenHere Shorts in the near future!

My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 13 years, I have traveled the world in search of unique destinations and cuisines. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have explored over 1,300 destinations in 90 countries, while documenting them on my YouTube channels, travel blog, and social media sites.
I focus mostly on cuisine, culture, and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. Where have you been?
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
They told me I can get stuff. I used to come here every day. So let me let me see if I can get here broccoli
So my way though is uh
These plants up here. Hey guys
How you doing?
See I was thinking putting the camera low
And then coming up
Maybe you want to get in here like
Get the breaking close-ups
Nah, that's gonna be a big
Nah, it's big bro
And what I have to do is the other guys are all starving on the other side so they have to get at least like one ball
Hey guys, welcome to my tortoise enclosure
Where are they?
So if you guys don't know I have
a bunch of tortoises including this guy
beautiful cicada
I put them down here and now i'm gonna give my tortoises
Lots of lettuce. So if you guys don't know what the cicada is
This is the third largest species
in the world
All right, third largest species of tortoises number one
Galapagos on the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador
number two Aldabra
in uh
Wow, it's a lot
Aldabra in uh Seychelles Islands
And number three are the cicadas or the spurred tortoises. That's the actual name. Cicada is a nickname
And uh, let me get rid of that mulch so you can see
They love their lettuce their flowers their herbivores, what's the difference herbivore only eats
plants and fruits right all
Stuff from the ground all greens and then you got the omnivores which eat both and then you have carnivores that only eat meat, right?
And here's my third
Right. So my kids actually named them after ninja turtles. We had one more. Unfortunately, they passed away
You gotta be very careful with these animals. They um
You know weather is the issue right because here in south florida, they love the sun they love the water
They need some water and lots of food every other day. We feed them something like this a monstrous amount of food
Man, they really love it. All right, and don't eat from my hands. Like look i'll feed a
See this guy
Mm-hmm right there
Literally eat from my hand. That's hibiscus flower. They love hibiscus flower
It's really yummy flour
And yeah, this is my
Towards enclosure. So this is
All right. I got this. I got yeah, that's okay. I'll do a little bit of zoom in. Okay, so
So cut and three two one and we're back
So
And I usually put their food put lots of water in their food because such in the summer months here in south florida
It's too hot. It's like 100 degrees right now
It's humid. We're sweltering here like literally
burning up
And that's my guys, right?
So this is the female obviously smaller one female the two bigger guys are males. Um, oh wow
ping
And uh, but yeah, so these are my animals. I love them
I've had them for roughly about a decade, but they're over 30 years old
So again, these are cicadas the spurred tortoises. They live around 100 plus years and yeah, they love
Lettuce, they love fruits. We try to limit the fruits because it's sugar
But you know lettuce flowers all day. Look at that. They love the hibiscus
Hibiscus is the best thing for them
And so why are they called why are they called spurred tortoise or cicadas spurred is right here
See their their arms have this
That's spurred and they use that to burrow. So in the sahara desert what these guys do they'll walk out, you know
Roughly mornings and at night looking for food
During the day they'll burrow, you know, they'll get some sun but then they'll burrow at night
Of course they'll be in there especially, you know winter months when it is really really cold in the sahara
That's when they'll go to hibernation right here in south florida
They never hibernate because we never have cold days if we have any day under 40 degrees 40
Uh fahrenheit, which is uh, I don't even know like three or four celsius
Then I have to bring them indoors because they can freeze to death and I don't want it to happen
Luckily for us if it's cold at night in the morning
It heats up really fast with the sun and they just literally lay out and they take up a lot of sun, right?
That's what they need. It's with the cold-blooded animals. So they always have to take in sun reptiles, of course, right?
I just keep soaking them up. Give them a nice
Fill this up with water. They love this
Right. Yeah, i'll get some close-ups of these, right?
What do you think? Was that good?
In my other enclosure, I got a few other guys, right? So here I have this is called the redfoot, right redfoot
These are from the amazon
Rainforest in south america, right? So what does that entail?
That's french guinea
Suriname, Guyana
Venezuela, brazil, colombia, ecuador
I think I got that right, right?
And here we go beautiful redfoots. Oh and here's the rest of them. So I have three redfoots here and this big guy
This is my yellow foot. So they're basically
cousins
This is big guy here. Let me show you this guy how massive he is. So I actually saved this guy
He was crossing the road
And I saved him from being killed
up he is
Didn't like it
and one thing I have to tell you guys about
About handling tortoises is that you should never handle them the way i'm handling them right now without gloves
Um, you know, they do carry diseases. I would suggest always wearing gloves
Look, he's getting aggressive. Let me just throw this in there
All right
Very nice start eating they're hungry
And then right next to you we have the babies
So over here we have a bunch of redfoot babies
So we have their plate right here little plate. Hey guys. Hey, you hungry? Everybody's hungry. I got four of these guys. So
Um a few of them I adopted
Others were rescued
In south florida, we find these a lot. Look at my baby marinated. So this is my baby right here
This is a marinated tortoise
So this is the largest tortoise in the balkans
so
Basically greece albania bulgaria. That's where you'll find these guys
They get really big they get something like uh, something like this guy's size, but it will take him
I think 20 years to get that big had him already for almost two and he hasn't barely grown
And he lives an amazing life. You know, that's why south florida is the best place
Or florida in general is the best place for having reptiles
I'll just put some more
Some more lettuce in here. They love it. Let me get a little hibiscus for them
They love their flowers, right?
As you see they just love eating
I'll give these guys some more of this
Hey guys, just give me a sec. Give me a sec
That's a lot of food for them so i'll put the rest back with the big guys
Don't want to lose a finger here
Gotta be really careful when you feed them by hand
Don't look at the phone just look at here. This is how I create shorts tik toks reels
Just like that
And right here we have my babies
Got the four red foots
Look at how beautiful he is
And he's growing so fast. Look at his shell. See all those little lines
He's growing
Mm-hmm
And over here, where's my look at him? He's so small. I can't even see him
i'm marinated
This is a marinated tortoise from the balkans
The land of blood and honey, that's what balkans means
And this is my adult yellowfoot tortoise
He's a little aggressive
Just a little his eyes
Are they biting my feet dude?
What's happening
Put him down
Oh, he's such a big boy though
Look at this red foot
Let me show you guys this red foot
Red foots they're easy to maintain and they grow so fast some of those leaves put these back in
beautiful
big guy
They're my favorite by the way
I call him
leonardo
Oh
He probably weighs like 50 pounds. Oh, he's massive
Let me leave him here
All right
Yeah, these are my animals, you know, I really wanted to show you guys
My beautiful tortoises I actually have a tortoise let me clean my hands actually let me before I touch myself
You don't have to be here

Hey, buddy
Just gotta be really careful, right? The good thing with uh, cicadas is that they know their owners, you know
I've had them for over a decade. He knows me. He knows i'm coming here to treat him, right? I give him food
I leave him alone
Actually, it might even be the thumbnail

All right, i'm gonna close it down. Yeah, let's close it. I'm gonna we're done. We're done
