I joined 26 other travel influencers to film my experience at Barcelo Hotels for a project called Barcelo Stories. The influencers visited three different destinations — Mexico, Aruba, and Dominican Republic.
I directed and starred in three films with the talented Vanessa Vandy as my cinematographer. We tag-teamed on the edit and I’m pretty thrilled with the results.
These are my films from the Dominican Republic.
Barcelo Stories: A Day at the Beach
Barcelo Stories: In Dominican
Barcelo Stories: Dominican Dream
If you like these films, give a thumbs up or share! Follow me on Vimeo or subscribe on YouTube.

wow, your video skills are unbelievable! I love love love the Barcelona beach one. Barcelona was my very first solo trip and the first time I ever stayed in an AirBnb! It was a life changing trip for me. Love all the memories I just had watching your vids

Thanks for watching, Eric! I shot these in Dominican Republic though.

oh MY G~ I am such an idiot! When I originally read it I though Barceló was Barcelona and I immediately just started remembering when I was at the Mediterranean beach for the 1st time. I guess I got lost in my own memories. Please forgive a knucklehead.
Still unbelievable videos though…made me totally lose my mind I guess..haha

What fab videos! I especially loved the second one showing the traditional industries. You have a talent for this, and its nice to see something more than a promo puff piece 🙂

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of promo puff pieces either!

Absolutely fantastic videos. The Dominican Republic has been well served. It looks like a slice of paradise in the Caribbean.

Beautiful videos. Congrats! It makes me want to go to the Dominican Republic now :).
May I ask which equipement you used as well as editing tools? Thanks

Hi Christina. Thank you! We shot with two cameras — a Sony a7S and Sony a7SII. We also used Lensbender with a 50mm Nikkon lens for that dreamy effect. A Pilotfly was used for gimbal work. We edited in FCPX and Adobe Premiere.

Great video. Awesome cinematography. You have great video skills. This will give people another reason to book a trip to Dominican Republic.

Very nice work.
Were these ultimately used as promotional tools by the Dominican Republic?

Very beautifully created. It must have taken a lot of effort to have captured this all. Well done indeed
