I've been interested in filmmaking, video production & editing my own videos for about 5 years now and I also have a strong interest in filmmaking tech, photography, editing photography in Lightroom & Photoshop, design, street & travel videography/photography etc so in the coming years my goal is to create as many high quality courses covering those topics as possible in the future.
I am naturally a very creative person (I once genuinely tried to become the modern version of Johnny Cash for about 3 years in my early 20s), I also used to draw a lot as a kid, as my father is a talented artist and taught me a thing or two and I always did very well in art subjects at school. I've also been playing guitar since the age of 15, and I even attempted to build my own movie reviewing blog about 10 years ago, studying classic movies right up until today's modern blockbusters, so I've always naturally gravitated towards creative hobbies. However, I also have a technical background as I graduated university with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but unfortunately I was way too eager to go out and explore the world so I chose instead to travel around the world teaching English to adults who mostly worked in technical fields such as IT & Engineering working for companies such as Google, Amazon, Siemens, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Disney, Coca Cola etc but also from fields such as Aviation, Medicine, Marketing, Law, Fashion Design etc etc which gave me a great chance to learn about the world outside of my own small interests and learn a huge amount about different cultures around the world as my students were from Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Korea, Spain, Italy, Germany, France the list goes on and on.
So to cut a long story short, I have a creative side but I also do well with technical topics so I decided to combine those two areas to create courses about creative topics while also exploring the technical details of using the tools needed to create such creative work. (using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, After Effects, filmmaking & video production & photography tech gear etc etc).
I hope you benefit from some of these courses!
