The video above is my first attempt at video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro. Just started with the basics so I didn't do anything super fancy but it was a fun way to "get my feet wet." (pun intended)
When I first went to Mexico in 2021, it was a life-changing experience that re-ignited my passion for wildlife and nature while also shedding light on childhood dreams that I had let go of as I grew up. Swimming with whale sharks was something I could never imagine myself doing. Now that I've done it, I want to swim with even more incredible species of wildlife!
The footage used in this video was filmed in 2022 using my GoPro Hero 10. It was my first time using my GoPro for this kind of experience so, naturally, the film quality could be better - but it was still wonderful to relive it again while putting this together.
The song I chose really fits the sense of awe and peace I felt while swimming with these beautiful creatures.
