National park, play with my three cats, color
and spend time with my boyfriend.”
The one capturing the images with his camera
and edit them into the end result is our Videog-
rapher Juan Luis Pinto Sotter, Marketing Major
at the University of Aruba. “I chose marketing
because I wanted a career that kept me physi-

there is a lot of moving around, I can’t begin
to imagine what the real world will be like.” His
hobbies include photography, gaming, and
working on his car. “I am not a car mechanic,
however YouTube helps a lot and I find it very
therapeutic to put everything aside and work
on this piece of metal that helps me move long
distances.” Juan Luis loves to capture moments
with his camera and edit them into a dynamic
video.

in-Chief Linda Reijnders to add variation to the
product Aruba Today. “There is more to this is-
land than palm trees and beaches and in our
videos we wish to inform and educate the visi-

be interactive. Meaning that as the title of the

the tool to actually ask about the topics shown
or maybe even suggest a location/topic for a
video. Just ask our host Pilar through Facebook
