Week 10: Weekly Photo Challenge

I choose this picture for the fact that I was with my business partner, who is also my friend, and we were networking for our website EDMnightlife.com. In this photo it is me, my business partner and the hostess for our show. This was really great because we had made a lot of contacts that night and we still have those same contacts to this day. We have made a lot of contacts through networking at various night clubs, for this night, this picture was taken by SpyOnVegas.com, even though we don’t have our own photography from that night because we were networking and not shooting footage, we were able to go into that exact club we were networking and got to shoot footage. The club that we went to was the Ghostbar which is in the Palms hotel casino. Even though this picture does not have to do with a film festival, I feel that I should post it because it is a picture that represents a business that my friend and me are starting. I could not get a picture of me at a film festival simply for the fact that I could not get transportation to a film event. I have not had a vehicle for myself for almost a year now. It is definitely hard for me to go anywhere now, with that said, I am at the mercy of relying on other people for transportation and most of the time they do not give me a ride anywhere. Me and my business partner, however, have been driving all over Las Vegas to various nightclubs. At the rate we are going, we will have permission from various clubs to shoot and get footage for our website in very little time. Its kind of scary actually knowing the fact of how things are going smoothly.

Week 9: Weekly Photo Challenge

I choose this picture as my producer picture simply for the fact that as I was operating the camera I was also the producer as well, seeing as how we could not find a place to actually shoot this scene at a good location, my apartment (at the time) was the best option for the crew to shoot the scene. When it comes to video and film production, being a producer is not really my forte, because the basic job for a producer is all the paper work and in the video production I am not good at that at all. When it comes to video production my strong point is in the post production side of video production. My strong points are in editing and in motion graphics. Being an editor it gives me even better skills when I am actually shooting the scene with a camera, it helps me decide on what kind of shots that I would need in order to have a good edit and make a good scene. This photo was taken a long time ago when the class I was in at the time were shooting the "Average Super Hero" short film. This picture does not really portray me being a producer, but it does show me working on the set and I was producing on the set at the same time.
