At the time, I was working in a language school in Vietnam

So, I started creating these videos.

If any of you have been right back to the start of my videos on the YouTube channel,

you would know that I was doing a whole bunch of stuff, cooking food, teaching English by cooking and going to restaurants and chatting with people about food, eating food myself!

I'd have the camera set up on one angle.

I didn't have a team, a production team or anything, it was just me!

So I would film and then move the camera to another angle and then bring it close to zoom in and check out what was happening!

It was a lot of work!
工作量真的很大！
