Foreign Vlogger Makes 30-Second Tourism Video About The Philippines For Only $100
A 30-second tourism video of the Philippines for only $100?
Sounds too good to be true, but for Nuseir Yassin, it was a piece of cake.
After becoming famous among Filipinos with his promotional
“8 Days in the Philippines in 8 Minutes,” the Arab-Israeli vlogger and owner of
Nas Daily bounced back with another tourism video promoting the Philippines.
This time, however, Yassin also intended to make a statement
with his video – particularly against the tendency of governments to waste
millions of taxpayer money making extravagant commercials.
“Making these videos cost me 100 bucks per day,” he said.
“If the same video is made by an agency, it would cost $10,000. That’s why government
spends millions of dollars on tourism videos that are just sh*tty copies of
other videos.”
Yassin also singled out the Philippines after the debacle
involving its newest tourism video which bore similarities to an earlier ad in
South Africa.
“This happened in the Philippines,” he said. “So I decided
in New York as a one-man team to make the best video about the Philippines in
30 seconds.”
In a post accompanying the video, Yassin said he hopes
governments can learn from his video that it doesn’t cost much to make a good
commercial promoting their respective countries.
“If tourism departments are interested in exposure – and not
cinematography and actors – then this should do the job,” he said.
