Storyhunter Commercial DP: Vi Duc Truong (Oslo, Norway)
#DoYouFollow is Instagram’s newest IGTV Series, and they hired freelancer Vi Duc Truong to shoot the inaugural episode. Vi did an incredible job capturing the football finesse of brothers Kawan and Bawan, who have built a following on social media by posting videos of them performing trick shots and teaching others how to recreate them. It can often be a challenge to capture motion for vertical video, but Vi was up to the challenge and earned a five-star rating for his work. This was his first project on Storyhunter.
