Dismiss 'Bondi Hipster' Christiaan van Vuuren was better prepared for lockdown than most Normal text size Advertisement Christiaan van Vuuren got through a six-month stint in hospital in 2009 by making YouTube videos with his brother. It prepared him well for staying busy and getting creative in the year of Covid-19. You’ve kept yourself very busy in spite of it all in 2020. I think I got super lucky, and maybe the fact that I first started making stuff while quarantined in a hospital room 10 years ago may have worked in my favour fractionally this year when people decided they needed to be able to make stuff cost-effectively with smaller crews and under more difficult conditions. I’m feeling super fortunate to have been able to make it through the year while still being in the industry and not have to go study real estate at TAFE.
