WHO'S THE GUY BEHIND THE LENS?
What's there really to say except that I just love making videos!
My entire childhood...
I was constantly surrounded by cameras!
No matter where I went, no matter what I would do, I was being filmed.
There was something so interesting to me seeing my family do this AND rewatch everything constantly.
One day I asked if I could film something...that's when the journey started.
When I got my first camera...
This slowly became my life. All of my time in school I'd be thinking about what other video my friends and I could make. We were constantly making short films and goofy things to make us laugh.
As I got older, I would teach myself more and more about the art of videography.
Learning new ways to edit, keeping up with the most current cameras, and just explore and ask... "what else can I make?"
When my first opportunity came for an ACTUAL PAID GIG...
That opportunity is the reason I am here today. It opened up a world that I didn’t even know EXISTED.
That happened in 2017. Since then I started to search for more opportunities for myself.
But I never wanted to stick to just one thing...
...that's too boring.
I like to say that I will take on any challenge when it comes to video. Because it will help me grow as a videographer, and it keeps things interesting.
No matter what I take pride knowing that whatever project somebody has, I put all my effort into creating a video that will make everyone say “WOW”.
A couple personal videos that I love
Charlie's One Month
On 4/18/23 I was blessed with my beautiful daughter. I've been filming her ever since because I"m planning on making a really special one year video.
This was a small highlight that I did for the first month of her life.
Full Jam: Stage 1 (Streets of Rage 2)
My other passion is music. A couple years ago I felt the need to get back into it, but just to strictly have fun with anything I did. So I tackled one of my favorite video game songs and did a cover.
I had so much fun making this video with green screen effects and mimicking little easter eggs of the game.
Phat & Thyn Present: Litness Protection
My friend and I started a fake rap group back in 2013...we've made 6 songs since then. But I had the idea that every song would just continue where it left off.
So then the idea struck me to make a full EP, but make it into a short film music video as well. The music and videos took about 3 days and we were at a bachelor party at the same time.
I'm A PC Gamer Now
When we were on lockdown in 2020, I decided to build a gaming PC and join my friends who were all playing. For some reason, I kept thinking of a video like this that would be funny to make to tell people that I'm on PC now.
The Awakening
This short film took me years to do, and it was also...no pun intended...an Awakening.
Writing this short was an escape from my everyday 9-5 that I would hate. It took so long to coordinate and figure out, and when I did it I was (and still am) very proud of myself.
After I made this that's what I really started to focus more on creating video.
It's also the reason I got my first paid gig...
