Dmytro decided to lipsync to a Malayalam movie scene on a whim, and the video went viral. Today most of his comedic videos, many of which feature wife Maria, have Malayalam audio - a language he doesn't speak or understand.

00:00So basically, we are from Ukraine.
00:28But we moved to Dubai just 10 months ago, in July.
00:36And we moved from the Netherlands.
00:39Before coming here, we lived almost nine years in the Netherlands.
00:45That's where we also started doing our Instagram.
00:47Maria was the first one who started, I just joined later to help her with her Instagram.
00:56And eventually also started doing blogging myself.
01:00So we came to UAE already with our audience that we built in the Netherlands, in Germany,
01:07Ukraine, Poland, some from Russia as well, was trying different things, how to get the
01:16local audience, of course.
01:18And seeing that we have so many people from India here, I decided to do the lip-sync for
01:24Indian movie.
01:26It wasn't specifically for Malayalam in the first place, it was just I went online and
01:33started searching for Indian movies for different scenes.
01:36I watched like, I don't know, like 100 probably of different videos.
01:42And I got to that video that I liked the first one that was that went viral.
01:48And it just was, decision was made to use that one because it was, I like how it sounded.
01:57Also I like the scene itself, like the guy with the phone.
02:00So I thought, okay, I can also do the same.
02:04And then we just did it.
02:06It's like 30 seconds of making video and then it went all the way up, you know.
02:13So how it sounded, it was something that we hear on a daily basis.
02:19Yeah.
02:20So how I choose the scene that they want to do.
02:25Most of those that already reproduced, they are just based on my research.
02:33The first that they found, I'm looking at, first of all, at the emotions of actors.
02:41So if I can do the lip sync as well, because there are some words that I need to listen
02:47many times before I can repeat them.
02:50And that's also, yeah, just see that, okay, that's probably not going to work or I need
02:55to spend too much time on this one.
02:58Also some videos are not the best quality.
03:01So I'm just choosing what is really going to work on the way, based on feeling about
03:09that scene.
03:10Yeah.
03:11If it's nice, if it's easy, if it's...
03:15And also important not to offend anyone.
03:17Yeah, as well.
03:18So that's what I do as well.
03:21After finding some video, I have one guy, my follower.
03:26I'm also following him now.
03:29He is helping me on the way, like, I found some video, I will send to him and ask, can
03:37you translate please?
03:38What are they talking about?
03:40Or I can send to my colleagues as well.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Also she will send them to colleagues, like, it's not only to one person, everyone is willing
03:48to help and that's great.
03:50Like we have such a warm feedback that everyone wants to be involved and Dmytro even made
03:58a reel with a few of the followers.
04:01They sent a video of them and he just edited.
04:06Yeah.
04:07That was...
04:08Yeah.
04:09So that's not just about creating content, but also building some kind of community around,
04:15of course.
04:16Of course.
04:17Yeah.
04:18We discussed it.
04:19Like, at least to have a small talk, it would be really a good beginning for us.
04:24I even follow on Instagram some account that teaches Malayalam.
04:33It's not easy, I think.
04:35Yeah.
04:36I think you need to really to start from scratch, like every language.
04:39Yeah.
04:40First of all, I would advise to go for quality content, like to have a nice camera or iPhone
04:46at least.
04:47Always clean it.
04:48That's number one topic for everyone, even if you have the best camera, if you don't
04:53clean the lens, you'll have worse quality.
04:56So always have that one.
04:59And then just choose the topics that you enjoy because the way is really long and you
05:07are excited today to share something, but in two weeks, six months, maybe you'll be
05:13done with that.
05:14So just choose the topics that you enjoy, that you will be always enjoying the ride.
05:19So consistency, that's, I think is the key because like, you know, 10%, I like that statistic,
05:2910% of people, entire world, they want to create something.
05:3610 out of that 10% are creating.
05:40And then 10 out of that 10, they keep going and they keep creating.
05:47So that's very little percent that are consistent and they keep doing things that they started
05:54from beginning.
05:55Definitely.
05:56We even checked on YouTube, like places to visit and we saw the beaches you have there
06:01and the nature is so green, like it's really nice, would be a nice opportunity to go there.
