Cinematography
Cinema is my true passion, and it is something I discovered very early on. There is nothing like being on set with hundreds of other artists and masters producing something so complex, so dynamic and beautiful as a film. From start to finish, the crew wages war between time and endurance and the bond formed between fellow filmmakers lasts a lifetime. Long hours in the thick of the elements is not for everyone. However, a day-in day-out 9 to 5 is not for me.
Photography
Cinematography and Photography go hand-in-hand and both require some similar essential skills. There is something truly magical about being able to capture a single moment in time. I consider the still camera to be one of the most incredible inventions of our evolution.
Video Editing
From the first frame of film until the credits roll, the editor is responsible for the emotional roller coaster ride they send the audience on. Editing, to me, is like a gigantic equation with an infinite number of ways to be solved. The ability to cut digitally has changed the way we view cinema, in turn charging the independent filmmaking revolution. I feel honored to be a part of the growth of such an intriguing industry, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for editors and filmmakers alike.
Motion Graphic Design
Visual effects in cinema range from huge explosions to the scrolling credits at the end of a film. Every one of these elements eventually has to pass through a computer, this is where visual effects artists and motion graphics designers come in. The job is not as glamorous as it seems. Most hours are spent waiting for computers to render bits and bites, frame by frame, to complete a 20 second shot. However, at the end of the day, this is the icing on the cake to put your piece over the top.
Screen Printing
The physical process of pushing ink through a stencil onto a garment is a zen-like, exhilarating experience that cannot be described. Smackedshop.com was founded in 2012 and we haven’t looked back! Check out our awesome designs and super soft tees!
