PANDEMIC DAYDREAM - A GoPro Short
During this crazy time, we find ourselves in, I often found myself daydreaming about travelling again and being a bit homesick. Luckily I got to go home to Portugal for most of the summer. I was inspired to get the old GoPro out by Peter McKinnon and my former coworker Dan Jones, and gave myself 2 days to shoot this and a week to edit it. It's just a fun little story all shot on my GoPro and showing how I easy I wish travelling was! Travel responsibly and safely during this time and hopefully, soon we can all go back to travelling more! I hope you like it!

Personal Production Notes
Making this was a bit of a challenge! I came up with the idea in the last 2 days of a 6 week stay back in Portugal with the family. Inspired by some videos I had seen from Peter McKinnon and my former manager Dan, where they used GoPros (the former an older model) to make some fun summer clips! I wanted to not only push my editing but also just tell a fun little lighthearted story. Highlighing the current global pandemic, I wish travelling were that easy!
So I gave myself a week to edit it when I was quarantined back in London and that’s where I also filmed some additional footage to build up the story! The real challenge came in learning and doing all the transitions and small special effects! I severely underestimated the time it would take me to do! Nevertheless I am pretty happy with it as it stands (personally I know where the improvements are) but happy with the film! 😊
Overall, this was a huge learning experience for me video editing wise and I can’t wait for the next project… happening very soon! [hint hint]
