Young, wild and traveling

My first ‘video blog’ began when I travelled to Vancouver, Canada for a weekend getaway. With the advancement of technology, the ability for young adults like myself to do more than just snap pictures with a disposable camera really prompted me to start a series of videos when I travel. Since then, I have done videos in New Zealand, Japan and most recently New Caledonia with Varun (in which prompted him to start his own video blogging). This has been my inspiration to enter my videos for the World Nomads Travel Film Scholarship 2012.

Our filmmaking experience to date is solely with our iPhones and edited with Apple Final Cut Pro X. Although we consider ourselves amateurs, we don’t aim to be the stereotypical reporters but rather
having fun and enjoying the culture in all aspects (social, eating, etc).

Our ambitions as filmmaker/presenter as described above, is not to be your typical travel video but instead to have the opportunity to showcase what we have to offer as young adults. Winning this scholarship would give us the confidence and knowledge to continue doing what we do with travel blogs but in hopes of doing it more commercially or gaining recognition for our work.
