When it comes to viral videos, the best clips often come from ordinary people with an extraordinary eye. This month’s ViralPress Filmer Spotlight shines on Tran Nguyen Khanh, a passionate creator who transformed his love for capturing moments into a bridge between personal storytelling and global media.
How it all started
‘I’ve always loved photography,’ said Khanh. ‘Because of that, I developed a sharp eye for what’s happening around me. I interact quickly with my surroundings and almost have an inner sense when something is worth recording.’
He said that sudden events can’t be staged. ‘Sometimes the video is shaky, but that’s the beauty of it, raw footage that shows the truth.’
Unusual moments, lifelong memories
Khanh’s first popular video came from noticing unusual events.
He said: ‘It can be life scenes or natural disasters. Whenever I see something strange, I capture it. Those are the moments people want to see.’
Over time, Khanh discovered what inspires him most.
‘I like life stories, adventures, miracles, and even supernatural phenomena. It feels amazing to have those unique moments saved,’ he said.
Tools that make it possible
As a long-time photography fan, Khanh uses phones, professional cameras, and flycams. But for real-time clips, he relies on his phone. ‘There’s no time to set up equipment, speed is everything,’ the passionate videomaker said.
Discovering and joining ViralPress
Khanh first came across ViralPress online while working in content.
He said: ‘ViralPress is a bridge between people like me, who capture unique moments, and global newspapers and TV channels. You just need one good video, and ViralPress helps it go worldwide.’
A friend’s success on the platform convinced him to join. Overall, the experience has been absolutely wonderful.
He said: ‘The filmer gets paid fairly, and ViralPress handles the rest, editing, storytelling, and connecting with the press. It makes me feel my work is in the right hands.
‘The system is simple, and it helps me earn income while building a long-term portfolio.’
Advice for other creators
Khanh leaves a clear message for new creators, explaining that ‘the more authentic the content, the more convincing’. He said: ‘People love real events. And the clearer the footage, the better the results.’
From local lens to worldwide screens
For Khanh, picking up a camera started as a simple way to capture moments that caught his eye. Over time, those personal recordings turned into stories seen by people across the globe. His experience proves that raw, authentic footage, whether it’s an everyday scene or an extraordinary event, has the power to travel far when shared through the right platform.
