My Scholarship entry - Through Local Eyes
WORLDWIDE | Saturday, 13 October 2012 | Views [218] | Scholarship Entry
In recent years, we have become obsessed with seeing the ends of the Earth. Wrapped up in our travels, we lost sight of the beauty that surrounded us at home. Our little town had more to offer than we remembered, & preparing for this contest brought that back into light.
First and foremost: we are travelers. That’s why we decided to launch a video-based travel blog. Well we had to make videos, right? Let’s check the list:
Made videos before? No
Attended film school? No
Used an editing platform? Big No
We flew to Asia with stars in our eyes. We expected to make videos that rivaled that of Anthony Bourdain. Our films tanked, but we wouldn't stop. Our filmmaking has been a process of our own trial & error. Boy how our videos have grown since then.
Our ambition is to be the hosts that you can rely on for an honest answer or reaction to a wide world of experiences; we will tell you what we love & don’t love. We want to be relatable & fun. We want to be Chelsea & Kinsey. Winning this competition would mean everything. We have been aiming for this target for 3 years. It’s not a prize: it’s an opportunity, one that will keep propelling us forward toward attaining our many goals.
