How it Started

Anu has the strong desire to share her thoughts and show the world her way of seeing the beautiful nature and explore different places. But she could not do it till the time she found Lao Lai who became her good friend and well wisher.

One day she told Lao Lai just out of curiosity that she want to make a video about nearby Taishan Top Temple, which is beside the Ming Chi University of Technology where Anu completed her Masters. Lao Lai pushed her to record video as she already has all the required equipment like camera, microphone (rather too high end equipment for a beginner). He also talked with the temple authority to have a short conversation with Anu for the video. Thus, the first video was shot with Anu as the main host on 20 June 2020.

But the final video did not see the light of the day till April 21, 2023.

What happened!?

Lot of self doubt clouded her, whether it is ok to share the video,

I came to study and if I start making videos what people think?

will I be able to continue this,

How to go ahead?…

So many questions!!

She was really confused. Also, she didn't know how to edit which added to the problem and the raw videos were lying untouched for almost 3 years.

After I reached Taiwan and got settled, I always was interested in Video editing and Graphic designing. There was this bug in me that I could not handle big softwares which made me self doubt about myself. Also I did not had a good computer to editing and designing and I wait to get the good device for that.

Finally I purchased the Mac Book Air M1 with student discount and that gave me confidence and helped me to learn editing. I started learning the Davinci Resolve before trying many other free softwares as it is very powerful and I was fascinated by its features.

First we started a book reading channel by the name of "Power of Listening" where we just record the audio without showing the face and add some stock videos and music from the free websites.

Then in March 2023, I edited the video taken by Lao Lai and we created the Torii Tales channel and posted our first video on April 21, 2023.

Thus began the Journey.
