Thankyou Mr.Shutler for being my first video teacher. I’m glad that it was you who taught me video production because I’ve learned more than expected and I felt like I was pushed to make content outside of my comfort zone. I remember this instance in class where I was stumped on what to make for the music video because I was not fond of shooting it on campus. But you told me that if I am a creative mind then I should be able to make due out of what I have. And that is something I’ll never forget. I try to apply this mentality to video making as much as possible. As someone who wants to make music videos as my career sometimes I have these grand ideas that’d only be possible with lots of money and a professional crew.
But it does not matter because I’ve proven I can make worthy content right where I am. Besides the advice you offered the stories of your life were interesting and made class more amusing. You were an overall chill teacher that many students liked. On the last day of my Junior year we showed the class the videos we made. I did a parody of ‘My Strange Addiction’ and when you finished watching you said the thing I was looking for all year. The praise you gave me for the video made me feel more whole as an artist even just for a moment. I wrote, edited, and shot the whole thing and sure it was just a video I made for school but I appreciated the feedback you had given me. If I ever get anywhere with this career path I’ll be shouting you out Mr.Shutler even if it didn’t mean as much to you as it does to me :)
I took the picture by zooming in on Juan and having someone pose the dinosaur head over him to make it look realistic
I was looking for an already framed picture and I saw this yellow cart which captured the plants. I thought it was pretty and fitting for the assignment
Natalia and I set up the tripod and used the timer on the camera. I kept jumping while she posed for the comic book effect.
I took this picture by adjusting the fps an aperature to capture the slow mo of a waterballoon bursting.
