Career Interests

Work Environment

I am looking for an opportunity to work in a well-organized, clean, healthy, and even fun work environment where I feel like not just as a fellow employee but feel like I am considered an individual and peer.

Learning

I like to think of myself as a consumer and keeper of knowledge. I absorb it like a sponge. I don't want to learn just how to do a job, but I want to learn how to do it well and correctly. I will want to know anything and everything about my job and the other jobs around the place of work just to know but also in case I am needed for assistance for something.

Building Skills

I want the opportunity to build both new skills and to build on previously learned skills that will help me reach both my professional and personal life goals.

Interests

Photography

I've been teaching myself and practicing film photography for the last two years as a new hobby that allows me to get out and about, experience the world around me, and use my skills and creative processes to bring my ideas to fruition as I see them in my head using the film medium and editing software

I am currently collecting a body of work before I start making prints and showing my work to the public in person, but I do have a page where I show off my work

I have a few ideas for possible photo magazines or books that I would love to make just to show off my work and also for the fun of it I just want to have something that I can physically hold and look through so that I can be proud of the fact that I made something tangible


Video Making & Video Editing

Since about middle school I've been making montages of my gaming highlights that I've collected over the years Putting them to music, adding effects, transitions, even cinematic scenes, and color corrections Doing that for my own videos, for friends, or even a collaborative effort between me and an actual editor to bring a creative vision to life

It's been growing old with me over the last few years but even then I still enjoy making videos and feeling accomplished that not only did I actually make something out of the time and effort I put into it but that my friends and peers enjoy what I've made too

A goal of mine is to get into the analog video formats and start making my own little videos of my life, my travels, short films, or just beautiful scenes to music I really love A lot of the ideas I have when it comes to video-making actually stem from either a particular song or a collection of songs I actually have a whole playlist of songs that I think would work well in whatever I think they'll work in like gaming videos, fun personal videos, short films, skate videos, films, trailers, etc

Using music in a visual art can either be about conveying a message or a feeling or a theme that matches the subject matter of the project or sometimes throwing caution to the wind and doing something just to do it
