The best movies tell a compelling story.
Here’s my story so far.
I grew up, like most, with a childhood filled with movies, tv shows, etc. By the time I was 5, I was obsessed with Lilo and Stitch and I could – and would – tell everyone how much I loved it. Disney was always a strong force in my life as I admired the stories their movies told as well as the characters that brought them to life.
Growing up with the presence of technology, I struggled through my middle school years and depended on Youtube to distract me from the world. It was during this time that I re-evaluated my career choice of veterinarian – which I had aimed to be for the first 12 years of my life. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew it would have to be creative. I turned to film, realized the importance of a production team in the creation of a movie, and quickly set my sights on that path.
Through the years, I’ve remianed steadfast in following the path in front of me, learning as much as I can from the films that intrigue me. Now, I’d like to share what I’ve learned with all of you.
This blog will examine a new film, tv show, freelance short film, animation, etc. in every post, highlighting different animation, editing, and film techniques that creators use to set their works apart as well as to elicit emotions from their audience.
Stay tuned to see reviews of works such as:
- Us – Jordan Peele
- Isle of Dogs – Wes Anderson
- Deliver a Feeling – Peter McKinnon
- My Hero Academia – Kōhei Horikoshi
… and many more!!!
Each post will include at least one link to a video explaining techniques I’ll be reviewing and for the short films from Youtube, there will be a link to said short film at the beginning of each post so you can see it first, before tearing it apart for learning purposes.
For now, I’ll leave you with this short video that shows how important production teams are to the creation of a film.
Stay tuned for next week when I break down Us by Jordan Peele. Until then, you can find me peering through the viewfinder.
