Project Overview

This project is part of FrameMind, a long-form YouTube documentary series created by Quiro & Jenna.
The series documents our journey while traveling and working across Asia, focusing on mindset, creativity, and intentional living rather than traditional travel content.

This episode captures our first stop in Indonesia: Bali.

Project Intent

This film was not created as a destination guide or promotional travel video.

The intention was to:

  • Observe rather than consume the place

  • Capture rhythm instead of highlights

  • Let conversations, pauses, and everyday moments lead the story

It reflects a slower, more conscious way of experiencing travel and life on the move.

Creative Direction

  • Documentary-first approach

  • Natural light, handheld movement, real moments

  • Minimal gear, small footprint

  • Sound design and music used to support emotion, not distract

The edit prioritizes feeling and flow over fast pacing or visual spectacle.

Production

  • Filmed on location in Bali during our first week in Indonesia

  • Shot across daily life, streets, rituals, cafés, and transitions

  • No scripted scenes or staged moments

Everything captured reflects real-time experience.

Post-Production

  • Narrative-driven edit built from observation

  • Emphasis on pacing, silence, and sound texture

  • Subtle music and sound design to enhance immersion

  • Color grading kept natural and grounded

Outcome

The video serves as:

  • A foundation piece for the FrameMind series

  • A creative statement about our approach to storytelling

  • A reference project for brands, collaborators, and future documentary work

Learnings

  • Slowing down creates stronger stories

  • Sound design is as important as visuals

  • Not everything needs to be explained — some moments just need space

This project reinforces our belief that meaningful storytelling lives between moments, not just in destinations.
