Film And Photography

Lately I've been exploring the abilities of a DSLR camera that I had purchased earlier in the year. I'm currently researching film techniques and photography information, and I'm pretty passionate about the subject. The reason for this is simple. I've never really been passionate about any one thing that was either a hobby or something I really wanted to succeed in. So far I've filmed a little bit of film from a family vacation to Florida, which was only the first week of owning my camera, you can find that here.


I've also filmed a music video recently, to showcase my improving work with film. But that's another story, for another time.

One thing that I've come across in the what I presume to be many avid video makers is that they tend to be very passionate about it. And you have to be! Because when you start to film things, you automatically start thinking about what it will look like when your finished, what is the point of your video, what are you trying to portray and who will be your intended audience. One video I recently stumbled across is proving one of my points. It shows people and the daily life of those people in Lebanon Egypt.


The point being that you need to show people something that they don't see in their everyday lifes. Something out of the ordinary, or so different its a world of difference, as in the lives displayed here in Egypt. The main point I want to convey is that I want to make videos that not only seem cool, or are made with all of today's technology, such as the kessler kranes in the next video, but also something that would capture people's imagination and or allow them to exhale with a "man we live in a awesome created world", or something that inspires people to make a change for the better.


Here is a little inspiration for you:


Enjoy! And dont forget to have a spirit of happiness today!
