Things I've Picked Up In The Past Year.

For the past year I learned how to use programs such as Adobe's Illustrator, Photoshop, After effects, and Premiere as well as 3d and fluid simulators like Cinema 4d and RealFlow. With this knowledge, I can create great visual masterpieces that are shown on major networks such as MTV and News Corp.'s Fox television stations. 

What I've noticed is that people like pretty visuals and will pretty much be drawn to anything made from those programs I've listed... if done properly of course. I also have created a Youtube page with some of the things I've done using those programs. One of the videos is somewhat of a music video which is the very first video I've shot with my camera and edited on my own. It's pretty long but it was my first time so I'm pretty proud of it. 

A dance company in the city I live called DMD (Defining Movement Dance company) allowed me to shoot this video and they really liked it (thank God). They enjoyed my work so much that I have another gig from them in a few weeks. Looks like things are pic
king right up.

Do I need cable when I have the Internet?

A conversation I had with with a friend had that works at a cable company was explaining to me how cable may not die out but it's sure as not going to be used as often other than to watch sports or the news and I would have to agree to that. I think that this generation of teenagers are very tech saavy and know a lot when it has to do with basic setup of a new tech they get in their hands.

My daughter for example is not even 2 yet and she knows how to work her way around an iPad to get to her games and start playing. With computers becoming stronger and mobile devices catching up the having the same or more power than computers a few years ago, people are more engaged with computers than any other device. Hooking up a computer with the internet up to a television screen is plugging one cord into the two and there you have it, internet on tv, a match made in heaven. The internet, with its vast library of awesomeness will make anybody forget what cable is.

 Websites like Youtube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Facebook and Netflix would probably be the main sites a majority of people would go on. Going beyond just those websites, if one would search... and I mean actually search for things that would benefit them in anyway would be possible to be found on the internetsss. Cable also has shows that can be found on the internet anyway so whats the point of paying extra when you technically can watch it for free on Youtube or a similar website.

Cable might go out like vhs...

I AM BACK!!!!

It's been almost a full year since my last post and that's only because I've been extremely busy keeping up with what I've written out in my about page. I truly do have a goal and I plan on seeing it through.

The last time I been on my blog was when I started out with a camera and was doing videography for a lady for her indie music events. That shortly ended after my last post because I wanted to do more, learn more, and create more. You can look at me as a child hopped up on sugar that just wont keep still when it comes to knowledge because there is an unlimited amount. Yes, I won't learn everything but I can learn a lot and as much as I possibly can and compared to what Ive posted last time to now you can see a huge difference in what knowledge I've obtained.

My goal is to become and "all around marketing machine" and as corny and near impossible that may seem, I think I'm doing a pretty damn good job with where I'm at now.

Curious to find out what I know and where I am? Just stay posted to my posts and I'll post some posts that'll toast your roast... ok, I tried it didn't work out but yeah I'm excited to continue my journey and share what Iv'e got. So stay tuned!

One thing for sure is that I'm getting a lot better at digital content creation.

Justin Bieber look-alike sings "If I were a boy"

I’m sorry this isn’t an internet marketing related post, but this weekend was quite impressive and I thought I’d write about it. It’s about me being hired to do another shoot for a woman I wrote about earlier. This event was a competition, and the winner would receive a free music video shot for an original song that they have. Well mid competition, a girl went on stage in a really laid back boyish look. This girl actually looked like Justin Bieber, but just the look of what Justin used to wear. She went on stage and she had selected to sing Beyonce’s “If I were a boy” song. The music played and she opened her mouth to sing, and it was one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. She actually sounded just like Beyonce. I had to double check to see if her voice was actually a recording of Beyonce’s just too really make sure because I really couldn’t believe it. It’s actually really funny when you think about it… Justin Bieber singing “If I were a boy”? The joke just fits so perfect, and I’m glad I was able to catch such a rare sight on digital. I luckily managed to get a combination of Justin Bieber singing “If I were a boy”, and a singer that sings as well as Beyonce. Watch the video and see for yourself, she really is incredible!
