    It's been tough for me personally taking part in various projects during COVID19.

    A Lecture at Tumwater High School

    I was given the distinguished honor of speaking at a local high school to a class of media students. I wasn't completely sure what to share with them, since I am self taught, so I went in being real and with a heart for the next generation's success. I shared all the best things I've learned about being a self-taught professional media guy. If this has in any way been helful to you, please let me know: creative24video@gmail.com

    Work Life Balance & Outsourcing - A Conversation with Tim Krause

    This is a candid, honest conversation that has been very minimally edited. I sat down to talk with my friend AND competitor Tim Krause of Videos Crafted to discuss our differences in outsourcing and work-life balance. It's very important to me that Tim gets his point across so that anyone can learn from him. I have learned a lot form him, and I am proud to compete with him in the same Tacoma area market. We get along because we are both passionate about our work and we also work out of the same building.

    What Camera to Buy - What Kanye West Taught Me About Gear

    I'm pretty passionate about the subject of camera gear, but not in the way some of my colleagues are. Having just purchased a new camera not too long ago, I was forced to shop around. During my search for the "perfect" camera, I was reminded of why I don't already have the newest and best, why I never have, and why I'm ok with that. It's a matter of knowing what your values are, and never forgetting what brought you to the dance. Today so many would-be artists get so caught up in the technology of the craft that they forget to make things that people want to see at all.  The lesson I'm passing on to a younger me in this episode is simply that, as Kanye West put it (roughly): "If your grandma was to surprise you with a cake on your birthday, would you question the batter?".  In other words, if your job is to create an emotional experience for your audience, why are you wasting your time pouring over numbers and specs? mpresamedia.com Music by: WuTang Clan Kanye West My cameras: Sony FS5 II Sonya6500
