Once I caught the video “bug” I found I kept having these creative itches that I couldn’t get rid of until I scratched them. Often happening during daily life when doing a range of activities, like skateboarding, waking up on chilly weekday mornings, or when I was watching a piece of content and thought “How did they do that shot? Could I do it too?”

With this in mind, I started making these lifestyle vlogs in both short and long-form so that I could build upon my existing skills and gain more experience in the video and editing world. These videos were often much more thought out from the start, meaning they usually involved some sort of storyboarding, shot lists, and sometimes script writing depending on the message I wanted to convey. This meant the videos were quite often fully formed in my head before it made it into the editing software.

Overall I’m happy with these videos, my skills are improving every time I pick up a camera or open adobe and after a year and a half of travel this videos act as my own living breathing diary that I can look through to remember my time.
