Creating videos on my own

I love creating videos. There is something very freeing about being able to have complete freedom over what happens next in a piece of media that will evoke a response from a viewer. However, I also understand that there are limitations to that freedom while working under supervisors, and those who have their own creative vision. That being said, I believe that I have the creative capacity, as well as the technical knowledge to develop professional and original videos. I have created dozens of videos and have loved doing it since middle school. I would consider myself to be a highly efficient editor on Adobe Premiere Pro who excels when problems arise. I have been requested by a handful of people and groups at school to aid them in producing promotional content for their brand/groups, as well as approached about filming weddings. I believe that I have the ability to be a great videographer and editor.
