AMSTERDAM - An adventure to the Netherlands (Cinematic travel video)

So... this video was quite a wild ride to make hence why it's so late. From the personal problems we had while we were there, to figuring out how to make some of the effects. This video was also the first time I was trying to tell a story through it. So because I'm still not good at storytelling it might had been tough to tell what the story was. Before uploading it I added the ending in the park to make the story make sense but otherwise i wanted to keep everything the way it was when I finished editing it in 2019.

The video starts in the park which is actually the end of the story because Sara is reading the newspaper which is talking about what happened at the end of the video, and then she whips it across the camera blinding you because "now you know what she did". And so the story starts with us arriving in Amsterdam and we start to explore it. We rent two bikes and go to the beach. There she eats a waffle (which is representing drugs, but we don’t do drugs so that’s why it’s a waffle) and starts hallucinating. We go back to the city where we found the graffiti of Anne Frank and that inspires her to go to the Rijksmuseum. There she finds a large group of people blankly staring at the Night watch art piece and decides to ruin it to make fun out of them and that's when the "drugs" hit the hardest and she loses all memory and that's where the "park scene" comes in where we all find out what she did.

I know the story line is kind of a mess but it was my first time trying something like that without any preparation. Can't wait to film the next video and hopefully with less problems and a better story. See you in the next one ;-)
