I've been interested in all things visual for as long as I have existed. As a young child, I started by expressing my interests through the simple act of two-dimensional art-making: drawing. However, as I grew up I discovered more & more creative outlets to explore my visual interests. From elementary school to high school, my interests expanded into 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 15, I was severely confused as to what exactly my ''professional interest'' was to be, and I was beginning to worry... but then along came my first ''camera''. I was instantly obsessed with photography and its ... this 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 the possibility of animating my still images. Very quickly I developed a passion for combining image and sound and articulating them over a timeline--and 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.
However, throughout my childhood explorations I never really ventured into the realm of electronics--a realm of boundless potential that I feel I can not go on any longer without becoming acquainted with. I hold a lot of excitement for this class and familiarizing myself with electronics because I know it will broaden my creative abilities/possibilities in converting ideas into an actuality; and this in turn will broaden my capabilities/capacity as a filmmaker.
