Artistic Statement

Ideas, thoughts, emotions, energy, understanding, cohesive, repairing, arranging, planning, and making things flow and in sync all of these seem sort of random when you throw them together.  All of these are what inspires me, and all of these can hit someone randomly.  To me those are the best inspirations are the random ones.  It’s funny because random doesn’t always work well with cohesive or making things flow and be in sync, and it definitely doesn’t align with planning, yet somehow the random ideas or thoughts inspire me to make things flow.  Ideas and thoughts are what get my excited about something and want to test it out to see how it works.

I’ve studied media and theatre arts on stage and off.  Other than being on stage or camera, I haven’t found much else that is expressive, fulfilling, exciting, or inspiring enough for me besides editing.  With editing, you can change the pace of things and express certain things.  A certain speed and sense of urgency can be created through editing.  Rearranging things to make sense and linear is another thing that is great about editing.  Editing involves a thought process, planning, and understanding of what scene is supposed to be where and what shots will make the scenes better and in what order.  It’s like solving a puzzle by arranging things so that the audience can keep up and understand what’s going on.  Solving a puzzle for others to display for others, how can that not be exciting?  The process of choosing what shots would look best in the scene and comparing the different shots is always fun to me.  Though it may be tedious at times, but when you find the perfect shot to make the scene at its best, it’s very exciting and fulfilling.
