The foremost method of connecting to the world and bringing to light human expression is through both sight and sound. Whether the medium is audio or video, it takes a creative blend of technical and artistic skills to properly convey emotion and expression.
Attempting to capture the musicality and intonation of voice requires craftsmanship and mastery. Knowing the extent of my listening audience is a motivating factor, whether I am speaking into the microphone myself, or behind the scenes making it all work cohesively and rhythmically. I appreciate the creative process from the conceptual phase through production to the final product. In an attempt to bring integrity to my work, I am cognizant that the trustworthy presentation of information throughout the communications field is of paramount importance. It is the measure by which I will better serve my community, both personally and professionally.
Video is similar in that it is beauty made visible for all to see. Video production encompasses the visual arts with its corresponding audio component -- the combination of these aspects designed to capture the very essence of sight, feeling, and experience. It is a type of poetry that goes way beyond the accomplishment of filming and editing, and encapsulates the body movements and dynamics between people to artfully tell a story. Its form becomes richer and richer upon each viewing. It takes a shrewd use of Mise en scéne to capture the array of emotions around you. It is heartfelt and the very essence of my being to search for and discover beauty in everything I see, hear, feel, and experience. The goal is capturing what already exists in and of itself, and transforming it into an art form that is aesthetically pleasing. Through an imaginative, lively, and visionary mind, the goal is to bring all these ingredients together to make a delightfully stimulating dish.
