1st YouTube Video │ Midnight Rain... We Begin Again!

After a Very Long Break

It had truly been an awfully long while since our last blog. In that time, we experienced the ebb and flow of the pandemic, and it had been one heck of a roller coaster ride. Life changed, routines shifted, and before we knew it, months had passed.

Dreaming of Travel and Vlogging

During that period, we found ourselves watching many travel vloggers online. We were very envious of those who managed to turn travelling into a full time profession, and we quietly dreamed of doing the same one day. Vlogging has long replaced the traditional blog as the main way travellers communicate with their audience, and we felt inspired to give it a try.

Camera Shy Beginnings

To be perfectly honest, we are painfully camera shy. So for now, we will probably start our vlogging attempts without showing our faces or using our voices. Instead, we will focus on the food or the destination, letting the visuals do the talking. A simple caption underneath each clip will be our way of communicating with our viewers.

Making Do With What We Have

We already have several cameras — though not all are ideal for vlogging — and we hope to invest in more suitable equipment in time. But for now, we will simply make do with what we have. Every journey has to start somewhere.

A Rainy First Step

So, what better way to begin our attempt at vlogging than to showcase what was right in front of us?

It was a warm and humid night, and the sudden rain was a very pleasant surprise. We’ve always loved rainy evenings — the cool air, the sound of raindrops, the reflections on the pavement. It felt like the perfect moment to film our very first YouTube video.

This was also our first time shooting in Cinelike D (LOG file) and our first attempt at colour correcting. There is still so much to learn, but at least it was a start.

The Beginning of Something New

It may be a simple video, but it marks the beginning of our vlogging journey. Rain, experiments, mistakes, and all — we’re excited to see where this leads.

Here’s to new beginnings, and to many more videos ahead.
