'''Yuan''' [pronounced ''yu-ohn''] '''Pan''' is a second year from John Muir College majoring in Media film. He was born on July 20th, 1990 and grew up in Irvine, California. He now plans to switch from third to first person narration because I think its easier this way.
I've been interested in all things visual for as long as I have existed. As a young child, I began started by expressing my interests through the elementary simple act of two-dimensional art-making: drawing. However, as I grew up I came to discover many discovered more & more creative outlets to explore my visual interests. From elementary school to high school, I my interests expanded into exploring several different forms of visual creation. I went through many different and constantly changing phases of painting, sculpting, designing, crafting, and assembling 2-D, 3-D, and digital objects and subjects from all over the place.
By the time I was 16, I was severely confused as to what exactly my ''professional interest'' was to be... and then along came my first (serious) '''camera'''. I was instantly obsessed with photography and its ability to compose, capture, and manipulate vision. But not long after I started playing with photography, I began to yearn for something more and thus looked into animating my still images. Very quickly I developed a passion for combining image and sound and articulating them over a timeline--thus creating '''video'''. Since then I have stuck with film as my expressive medium of choice; however my past explorations of drawing/painting, designing, crafting/assembling--'''the conceiving an idea and very hands-on act of carrying it out/bringing it to reality'''--still very much remains in me. Thus, although my primary interests are in film, I do intend to/have been incorporating the designer/craftsman side of me into my video work.
