Changes I've made to the updated video:
Replaced the opening logo with a shot of the bus driver, so the hook grabs viewers' attention in the first few seconds (tool: Edits by Instagram)
Added upbeat music to give the video more energy (tool: Edits by Instagram)
Added captions to make the video accessible to viewers with hearing difficulties and those watching with the sound off (tool: CapCut; I edited the auto-generated captions for accuracy)
Backstory:
I found every bus ride with him fascinating because he read poems along the way. No one had published a video about him at the time, so I decided to film him and share his rides with the wider community. The biggest challenge was shooting on a moving, sometimes crowded bus. When it filled up, I kept my tripod at the front and simply turned the camera to capture him, the view through the windshield, and a few of the riders. When he had a spare moment, I interviewed him and filmed some personal details, such as his notepads.
