Video Editor & Animator
I am digital and multimedia creator.
I am a video editor and animator. I get to take beautiful footage and create a story out of it, whether it's for a commercial, documentary, or film. I spend my time organizing footage, finding the raw, beautiful, emotional moments and putting it all together so that the client or viewer loves spending their time watching it. The reason I chose this profession is that story telling is something I am very fond of. Whether I am animating or editing, it's all about telling a story in the end.
Here's the first step for high school students
SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT! Watch movies. Edit videos. Draw. Study great directors / editors / animators work. Watch TONS of YouTube tutorials related to filming. Pick one of the industry standard editing softwares and learn it! Premiere Pro, After Effects, Avid, or Final Cut. Read books and study the art of story telling. If you aren't patient, learn how to be! Editing and animation takes HOURS AND HOURS of work sitting at a computer. Really, hours upon hours.
