Filming and editing videos has been a passion of mine since I was eleven years old. Most anyone can use a video camera, but to me filming is creatively capturing an event in the most spectacular way. It can be as simple as maneuvering the camera in certain ways to either exaggerate or soften a scene. With each film, I gradually improve on my techniques to make the next film better. However, filming is only part of what I do to create my films, the next step is editing.

Editing takes place after I've taken the shots and imported the video onto my computer. When a scene needs music, I'll usually spend 15 to 30 minutes, just looking for the right song. Sometimes the music fits around the edited clips, and other times the clips needs to be edited to fit the music. Finding the right song is key for me when I'm editing. Once I fit all the pieces together, I watch it multiple times, and if I enjoy it I put the final touches on it. If something catches my eye, like a scene that is not cut enough, or I see something that I don't want the viewer to see, I'll re-work it until it is acceptable.

Once the editing is done, I distribute copies of the film. I take in all the feedback given so i can better learn on improving my techniques for the next project at hand. It is a learning experience, and it will always be one. I hope you enjoy my work and if you do, please feel free to subscribe :)
