Reseña del video de Youtube (mi experiencia de producción) ESP/ENG

Hola mis queridos amigos de #youhive, hace tiempo que yo no venía por estos lados, pero hoy sentí la necesidad de, una vez más compartir con ustedes algo mío, en otras ocasiones he compartido con ustedes algunas reseñas generales sobre mis canales de youtube con la intención de que pudieran conocerlos un poco más antes de decidir si quieren suscribirse o no, pero en esta ocasión voy a hablarles específicamente de uno de mis videos más recientes, de como fue mi experiencia de producción y lo enriquecedor que fue para mi.

Hello my dear friends of #youhive, it's been a while since I've been here, but today I felt the need to share something of mine with you once again. On other occasions, I've shared some general reviews about my YouTube channels so you could get to know them a little better before deciding whether or not to subscribe, but this time I'm going to talk specifically about one of my most recent videos, about my production experience and how enriching it was for me.

The video I want to talk to you about is called "History of the Morillo Bridge in Valencia, Venezuela," but what is it about? It may seem like an ordinary bridge, but no, it's not. For us Valencians who are interested in learning more about the culture and history of our city and our country in general, this seemingly simple bridge is the most important, since it was the first one built in the colonial era. It was the only safe access route to the city, which was, and still is, crossed by the Cabriales River, which becomes very swollen, especially during the rainy season. A Spanish general who loved the city and was wounded in battle wanted to spend his convalescence in Valencia, called "New Valencia of the King" at that time, perhaps as a way to distinguish it from Valencia in Spain. Seeing how difficult it was to access the city, he ordered the construction of this bridge; the others would come later.

As a content creator, I've always loved conveying a message, sharing what is ours and what we proudly preserve. Something that has always fascinated me is that every corner of our cities is steeped in history. We, as human beings, come and go from this world, but these historical elements remain for generations, silent witnesses to extraordinary events. When I walk through the city's historic center, I often wonder, "How many people died here during the colonial era when José Tomás Boves arrived, murdering everyone?" or "What did this place look like back then?" The public library, for example, used to be a prison back then 😲 Can you imagine what the walls would tell if they could talk? So, one day I decided to do a lot of research on the Morillo Bridge (since all I knew was that it was the first bridge built over the Cabriales River), and then I asked my sister to accompany me to the cathedral (where there are very interesting historical records) and, of course, to the Morillo Bridge itself to take some photos.

My sister @bethyjade is incredibly talented at handling camera angles and things like that, so even though we were only using her cell phone, which is far from high-end, she managed to get some great shots, and I'm so grateful for that. She gave me a lot of ideas and helped me with the photos too. I, for one, am so excited about that place 🤗, imagining what it must have looked like back then, but I also obviously reflected on how hard it must have been to work on that project without today's technology. Some of the builders were Royalist soldiers (the Spanish army), but others were prisoners of war, kidnapped from the Patriot army (troops of the liberator Simón Bolívar). So this made me think that we should doubly value these iconic works because they are not only beautiful, but they are the product of a lot of effort, sweat, blood, and tears; they are an echo of a stormy but also glorious past.
