What are the cool about that?

About Me

I like movies, music, books and technology. I like stimulating conversation. I like being a dog owner. I really like ice cream.I don't like puns, unless they're spontaneous. I don't like pickles, period. I am contributing to the death of the romance of flipping through CDs and records at a record store and I don't like that, either, but it's hard to avoid. I don't like doing the dishes.There are lots of questions that need answering, both personally and in general, but I'm slow to get started."Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone." -Kurt Vonnegut Jr.Business ModeIf you need any sort of video or production work done, feel free to contact me at any time.My qualifications include:• BA from Wayne State with a major in Interdisciplinary Film Studies • 4 years of wedding and event videography • 2 years of industrial and educational videography • Hours of preproduction, production, and post-production experience in various local independent productions. I have written, directed, edited, helped with lighting, operated cameras, and etc. There's nothing on set that I haven't done at least a little bit. So let me know. Pricing can range from free to very expensive depending on the project, the budget, and how cool you are.Also, I'm looking to learn how to edit on an Avid system. So if anyone knows any way that I can learn the software without coughing up $1000, let me know. Play more great FREE games at Shockingly Fun Games!
