KEEP GOING — The Story Behind the Ad
I've spent 15 years making other people's visions look good.
Somewhere in there, I stopped making my own.
This was a chance to say something I've been carrying for a while — not for a client, not for a brand. Just... mine.
It's called "Keep Going." And it's for anyone who's ever wondered if the work still matters.

11:47 PM. Same desk. Same blue glow. Same timeline you've watched seventeen times.
Click. Drag. Trim. Render.
You hit POST. And then you wait.
43 views. Refresh. 44.
You flip your phone over, hoping for something — a comment, a share, proof that someone knows you exist.
Nothing.

Your hand moves toward the laptop. Maybe it's time to close it. Not just for tonight. For good.
You've given this everything. Years. And what do you have?
Your finger touches the screen.
Maybe it's time to stop.

Then you remember.
Twelve years old. A camera too big for your hands. Summer sun turning everything gold.
You weren't thinking about views or algorithms. You were just making something. Because creation felt like magic.
And you were the magician.

You remember showing your mom that first video. Heart pounding. Watching her face.
When she said "This is really good, mijo" — you felt like you'd won an Oscar.
One person. That's all it was. One person who believed.

PING.
A name you don't recognize. A blue checkmark you do.
"We've been watching your work. Want to collaborate?"
Someone sees you.

Somewhere right now, there's another desk. Another late night. Another creator wondering if it's worth it.
Their hand moves toward the laptop.
But they don't close it.
They hit record.

Every creator you admire was once unknown.
Keep going.

For 16 years, Ludovico has been by my side—through every move, every challenge, the birth of my kids, and even the biggest moment of my life—when I gave my life to Jesus. He’s been my shadow through every high and low, he’s never left my side.
Now, as age slows him down, I cherish every moment even more. Some days are hard, but his love, strength, and stubborn spirit remain. I don’t know how much time we have left, but I do know this: every day with him is a blessing.
Happy 16th birthday, my loyal friend. 🐶

Behind the Scenes – Honda CBR 1000

I feel blessed that Adrian from Motorcycle Brothers chose me to bring his vision to life. We turned a simple trailer into a cinematic set—LEDs, haze, and the perfect angles to showcase the Honda CBR 1000 in all its glory.

🎥 Filmmaking is all about vision—taking any space and transforming it into something unforgettable. If your brand needs high-quality, cinematic storytelling, let’s make it happen!

Full episode dropping soon! Stay tuned.

Behind the Scenes: Lighting a Commercial as a Solo Filmmaker

Shooting a commercial solo can be a challenge, but with the right lighting setup, you can create a professional, cinematic look without a large crew. Here’s how I lit this project:

Simulated Window Light: I used a A gobo adapter to shape or control light by projecting patterns to mimic natural sunlight pouring through a window. This created a beautiful, realistic ambiance as my main light source.

Rim Light: Positioned behind the subject, this light added separation from the background, giving the scene depth and a polished, professional feel.

Key Light: Carefully placed to shape the subject’s face and bring focus to the storytelling.

With just these three lights, I achieved a dynamic and visually engaging look that elevated the entire project.

Whether you’re working solo or with a team, smart lighting choices make all the difference!

Let me know your go-to lighting tricks in the comments! #BehindTheScenes #Filmmaking #SoloFilmmaker #lightingsetup

Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
