Photography Documentary

My partner Aiden and myself are doing our project on the importance of Chancellors Walk.  Our photos will not only show the importance of the walk to the UNCW Campus, but take the viewers on a journey down Chancellors Walk.  We have gotten permission by UNCW Marketing department to shoot 35mm on campus.

Filmmakers Statement

During high school, I was taught that one individual frame can tell the viewer the  past and change the ending  of a movie.  With this knowledge I eagerly and passionately fell in love with cinema.  During my three years of high school video production I filmed, edited and produced several small videos for school, video yearbooks, news reels and created a Senior DVD.   During my senior year I was named senior editor of the video year book .  For the Senior video I created a montage of several videos from every event of the year. After high school I joined the U.S. Army.  During my year deployment to Afghanistan, I rekindled my love of movies.  Laying on my cot I was able to create a temporary escape from the daily tasks of an infantrymen in combat.

                Being behind the camera capturing the scene and making sure it is perfect, is what I am most interested in learning. While at University of North Carolina Wilmington, I want to perfect the art of the median that is film to help others create an escape.   I would like to work on a crew and learn the ropes of the industry, then become a director of photography.

                In ten years, I see myself working in the film industry as a crew member or having my own production team.  I am really passionate about cinematography and editing. If I have my own production team I would want to have films in circulation in film festivals and possibly on the main screens.  I would like to make films that would change the perspective that most audiences have about certain topics.  I believe there is always two very different ways to tell the same story and I would like to do just that.  If not making films, I would like to make documentaries.  I would want to get the interviews and tell the stories that others will not or would not do. 

                Lastly  a unique fact about me is I play the guitar.  I have been playing for several years.  I would like to have a collection of guitars in the future.  I believe that every guitar is different and is amazing in different ways.   If anyone reading my blog is looking for a guitarist for a band please let me know.
