My Hero

So, I thought I'd talk a little bit about who are some primary motivators in making film. I always wanted to start filming videos, but I have to say that I felt as though I lacked equipment and means necessary. For the most part I did, but I finally obtained a computer and software to edit video, and also a video camera, and one that records decent video nonetheless. With the rise of YouTube, also came the rise of amateur film makers having a shot at bigger dreams.

One of the filmmakers that I like to subscribe to on YouTube is devinsupertramp. He is a hero of mine, because he's a local Utah kid, looking to start a career in film. By his own dreams and inspirations he has risen to his own success in the film industry, completely supporting himself off of his film hobby. Indeed he's almost started his own business, hiring actors and supporting staff. His most recent video with my dear friend Ronnie Shalvis (blog), was just released titled, "Assassins Creed III Meets Parkour In Real Life"



I was so inspired by Devin Graham, that I have bought similar equipment and planned out similar videos to his unique style. I hope to be able to soon afford a Glidecam HD 2000 to be able to have the same "smooth" flying shots seen in some of his videos, like early in his rope swing video.



I always thought making ideas to film would be the hardest part, now I think that finding the time to film them is the hardest. In fact, very difficult to do during school. :/
