Since IG has changed to focus more on video, we photographer need to adapt fast too to enjoy the new growth. Thank you Sean about the way to find trending audios and when to post doesn't matter as much as last time. Now trying to post a video a day with the suitable music and matching content to both platforms. Trying to do proper storytelling through short video these days. Hopefully it grow after 90 days continuous of reels.

My proudest project is to document my BTS shooting in a airforce base and showing photo results afterwards:

On a side note, continuous shooting editing and posting videos has leads me to some paid job on IG and first paid gig on Tiktok! So guys really keep creating!

 

 

• How did you come up with your video ideas?

Shooting first and hoping to find the suitable/trending music that give that extra sparks on my visuals. Just like how Sean keep the Bali sunset for your reel video

 

• How did you film your videos?

I am shooting using both phone and camera. Galaxy S22 Ultra and a Nikon Z7. But mostly phone because it is very easy to take out from pocket and shoot

 

• What techniques did you use to keep the energy high in your videos?

Fast changing scene according to tempo and some words at the beginning of the video to tempt my audience to continue and watch.

 

• Did you use any creative editing features?

Slow zooming in on video works wonder. Stick to the niche I always do but be creative at the same time when doing story telling

 

• Is there anything you wish you did differently?

I wish I put more efforts in IG reel and video much earlier than now. But I am glad practice makes perfect and Sean you did this course at the right time.
