Unedited video: Black Oxford by Francisco (Patreon)

Hola my Shiny Patrons,

This is the raw footage I used for editing.

Back in June 2021, I was looking for shoe shiners to film the first videos for the channel. I remembered this beautiful park and decided to go and look for a shoe shiner there. Usually, they work around parks, close to metro/bus stations, office areas and busy intersections. I walked around the park and saw Francisco. This was the 3rd video I was filming for the channel, so I had a better idea of how to approach people. I asked Francisco if it was ok for me to film a shoe shine video and he agreed. 

As you can see from this unedited video, I was still inexperienced and was moving the camera so much (my hand was shaking from nervousness). I was changing the angles every few seconds (trying to follow Francisco's hands when working). And also, didn't know where to place my phone and what shots look better. 

When I was putting the clips together for this unedited video, I got a bit sentimental. It's been 2 years since I started the channel and made me so proud this project is working and our community is growing. 

Who knew that since this video was released, Francisco would become one of the favourite shoe shiners on the channel! 

The last time I visited him, I told him about all the nice comments you all write about his work and he was so happy (there is an interview coming soon).

Let me know what you think of this unedited video, please. 

Have a sunny and warm June.

Katia
