At QuVideo, our mission is to illuminate the world with videos. Around the world, many passionate creators are using their unique talents to inspire more and more people to enjoy the joy of video editing. They are all users of QuVideo's video creation applications.
The "Impress Me" column tells the stories of these creators. This edition features shinebegho, the creator of VivaVideo.
shinebegho is not her real name, but the prefix "shine" says it all—confidence is this Nigerian woman's trademark. In the two years she has been using VivaVideo, shinebegho's creations rarely rely on special effects or filters; her natural, authentic presence makes her videos cheerful and highly engaging.
shinebegho has nearly 10,000 followers on Instagram. When asked why she thinks she is so popular, she gave a cool answer: "Stay true to yourself, don’t imitate anyone."
She is a radio DJ and beauty blogger, and five years ago, she even worked as a model. Most of her videos are improvised—either in the studio during live broadcasts or outdoors—capturing whatever she feels in the moment. She then edits the clips to highlight her best expressions.
Another side of shinebegho is being a "hot mom." She occasionally shares videos of her child, but simply posting short clips on Instagram isn't enough to satisfy her desire to share life. She enjoys writing long, detailed captions. Behind every small video, there is a topic she wants to discuss with her audience.
shinebegho told us that the joy of video creation comes from being yourself in front of the camera. Her confident style has earned her a growing number of fans. For anyone looking to express themselves on social media, shinebegho's advice is simple: Be you, not try to be someone else.

A: It's brought out my creativity, sharing a story that is understandable even though it's short, it's fun, I love that.
Q: This video is very contagious. Did you shoot it improvisationally?
A: Well I was very happy. I wanted a video to show my happy moments. In 2016 I lost my first son, so I was happy to be given another chance on being a mom again.
Q: Why do you always look so confident and full of charm in videos？
A: Be you. Do things in your own pace. Never compare yourself to another it will only give you headaches, so instead compare your today with your yesterday in other words compete with your self and strive to be a better you everyday.

Q: How did you find VivaVideo?
A: I was looking for a different video app that had cool tools to work with, since I produce video content.
Q: Do you have any suggestions for VivaVideo？
A: A zoom tool. There are some video scenes I would love to zoom in on during my edits. So when people watch the video they can see exactly what you want them to see. So if there's a tool that can zoom a frame to the editors wish. I think that would be great. Because some of my skin care videos I really want to zoom in, in some scenes but I can't cos there's no tool for that.
