This is the miracle of my vision I have percolated over 5 years since Covid time. I had no idea how I would have made it happen. Over the years, I encountered the right person by person at the right long awaited time. This pursuit is the proof of your determination and grit could bring anything possible. If I could do this ... Why can't you do anything you can dream of? You are the torch.

Having no budget at all nor team with us, we (Dylan and I) decided to just give it a shot how much we could pursue our visual creativity. We used mostly Google Pixel6 till it unexpectedly died and lost half of footages collected over the year, which extended this project for another year. My delivery job at the time helped me to scout locations. Having the theme of fair ground, fireworks, lanterns...we gradually gathered random footages from all over the places into one video. $$$ could definitely unlock so many limitations, but I don't believe you always have to throw million dollars to tell your story. If you have an urge to create something, don't let the hesitation stops from you pursuing your visions. Final product might not be 100% what you planned, but the journey to get to the point and the whole experience you gain is priceless.
