Why we do this: short phone videos

Seven short phone videos before the Cup, each one a different person from the club saying why they do this, plus one of the granola being baked. No script, no fancy editing.

Cup Vol. 02

Most of these are selfie videos: you hold the phone at arm’s length, walk, and say in your own words why you’re part of Sunset Duckies. Start with “Hi, I’m ___ and I…”, do two takes at most, keep the better one.

Estelle, our intern, collects the clips and runs each one through an AI video editor that cuts the pauses, adds captions and trims it to under 45 seconds. Estelle checks the result before Andras posts it. If the AI edit looks wrong, we post the raw clip instead. The baking video is the exception: Estelle films it while Abiguelle bakes.

Noah and Lara

Our kids, who surf and learn along the way. Each films their own selfie: what they like about surfing and what they’ve learned. A parent checks the video before it goes up.

Tamas

A dad in the club. Selfie: why they spend their time and money on this, and what they see in the kids.

Dori

The inventor of the granola. Selfie or short chat with Estelle: where the recipe came from and why granola.

Abiguelle

Helps bake the granola. Estelle films the baking, start to finish, with Abiguelle saying what they’re doing as they go.

Estelle

Our intern. Selfie: why they came to Mauritius to work with the club, and what the first weeks were like.

Andras

The techie behind the website and the members app. Selfie: why a surf club needs one, and what it does for the families.

End each video with “see you at the Cup”. Cup Vol. 02 is on Friday 16 October at Tamarin Bay.
