Advice from the Infinix Vlog Masters Benedict Cua, Kianna Dy, and Rhian Ramos on how to make videos that truly stand out

Documenting your day or sharing amusing events with friends on social media was the original purpose of vlogging. For ambitious content creators, it has now developed into a promising career path. On websites like YouTube and TikTok, where people discuss anything under the sun and occasionally take on intriguing challenges, you can see the variety of content that is available.

Online content is abundant, making it challenging to stand out. The beautiful thing about vlogging, though, is that you have a lot of creative freedom and content flexibility. The Infinix Vlog Masters are all too aware of this since they frequently think outside the box when using the new Infinix ZERO 30 5G to record their own stories.

If you need motivation to start your next vlog, Rhian Ramos, Kianna Dy, and Benedict Cua can help. They provide the following advice:

Authenticity is key

Vlogging allows you to share a slice of your life, especially the interesting parts of your day, to your followers. Rhian likes her content to be casual and “a little bit kengkoy” to show another side of herself outside of her showbiz persona. “The point of vlogging is to express yourself and connect to your audience,” she says.

For Benedict, he considers his content as an online journal, so he tries to “capture everything as they happen naturally.” He emphasized the importance of staying true to yourself and not trying to be someone you’re not. “Keep it authentic and maximize whatever resources you currently have for creativity. Be you!” he says.

Likewise, Kianna believes in being unfiltered when it comes to sharing what a day in her life looks like. She likes sharing her volleyball training and adulting era, among others, with her followers in hopes of someone finding her content relatable. “I think aspiring creators should be authentic at all times. Be real and show your personality as much as possible and I’m sure someone will find it inspiring, fun, or enriching,” she says.

Embrace imperfections

“Your content doesn’t have to be linear or your shots don’t have to be clean, centered or with the perfect lighting conditions all the time,” Kianna says. Contrary to what you see online, vlogs don’t look polished and Instagram-worthy – you can thank good editing for that.

Kianna believes that providing a good mix of polished shots and mistakes can make vlogs more dynamic, and help you tell an interesting story. The imperfections can also make your content different from others.

Have a reliable phone to shoot on the go

You don’t need an expensive professional camera to shoot your vlogs. Oftentimes, your smartphone is enough to capture memorable moments, especially if they happen right in front of you. The Infinix ZERO 30 5G, also known as the ultimate vlogging phone, has an impressive 4K 60FPS Ultra Clear Front Vlog Camera that captures HD quality clips and photos wherever you go.

Rhian says she doesn’t leave home without the Infinix ZERO 30 5G these days. “It’s always on me. It has a 50 megapixel camera both on the front and back, capable of recording 4K videos at 60fps. Plus, it has a processor chip fast enough for all my editing needs.”

Benedict’s advice is to use this nifty vlogging phone while traveling because it’s lightweight and compact. “My favorite is using the Infinix ZERO 30 5G for my B-rolls as it highlights the entire trip. Truly leveling up my vlogs!”

Kianna echoes this sentiment, saying, “The Infinix ZERO 30 5G has been a game-changer for me because it is so compact and light, but delivers high-quality sound and video, especially for travel vlogs,” she says. “I don’t panic anymore if my settings are correct because it does it for me.”

Overall, showcasing your true self in vlogs will make it easier for you to conceptualize the content and flow of your longform vlogs and snackable video clips. You can level up your creativity with each vlog using the Infinix ZERO 30 5G (P14,999 for 12+256GB) with its pro-level camera features. Plus, with the 5G Powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor with up to 21GB Massive Extended RAM, you can also edit and upload your content without a hitch.

The Infinix ZERO 30 5G is available on Infinix’s online stores on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop, and all Infinix concept stores and kiosks nationwide.

At Infinix’s Mobile Vlog Awards (MVA), aspiring video makers can also display their inventive filmmaking abilities. Template Tales in collaboration with CapCut and Vertical Freedom are the two categories in which users can display their material. From October 5 through October 30, entries must be submitted via TikTok, and the winners will be announced on November 6.

Infinix ZERO 30 phones, as well as unique prizes like Air 1 Pro earphones, laptop bags, and e-certificates, will be given out to MVA finalists. See here for information on how to participate in the first Infinix MVA.
