The Assassin started as a short film idea by my friend Kyle and I. We shot a great deal of the film while Kyle was here in December, however due to time and money the film has not been completed yet however production is planned to continue in August after Kyle moves here.

This film is being shot on a 35mm Rig that I've built and have since upgraded along the way. This film will be finished on that rig dispite a new rig being currently built.

Below I've posted a few quick shots from the film, however what you see is not final and is only very rough shots.

Hope you enjoy!

Back in February I along with quite a few others was asked to work on a click-clack style baseball promo for Thunder Vision Television over at Lake Region High School, where I’m constantly at in my free time helping David Sparling and his students create great videos.

For this video I was Director of Photography, Shooter, and Original Editor.

This video in March was entered into the annual Polk County Video Awards. Among videos from every other K-12 school in the county. Among these several commercials were submitted under the High School sub-category of Best Commercial. Not expecting to win, we were one of the finalist and called down to the front with another school. For this category there is a Peoples Choice and Judges Choice Awards. We did not get the Peoples Choice, however we did receive the Judges Award which is the main one that counted. We accepted and all of us from TVTV was on stage in from of 4k people and broadcasted live, two students spoke and thankfully did mention my name as I stood next to them on stage. Glad to get thanks for a project I’ve done and did a lot…

A great deal of my readers know that I’ve been in and out of film and media for ten years now and while I hate to really talk about myself in this fashion I can say this without extradition from what I’ve heard from others that have seen my work. I’m very talented and very versatile in many aspects of media and have a great deal of technical knowledge in camera technology and new-media technology. Having the chance to work with many different kinds of equipment over the years really helped propel my learning experience. I like to say I’m a jack-of-all-trades for media because not only do I know a great deal about film and video but I do know a great deal about audio, visual arts/graphics, 3D design, and many others within the “media” field.

With that said I’ve had the opportunity to check out Fullsail to see what they have to offer, while yes I do know a lot about the field I still wanted to look into a degree that would backup what I do already know plus fill in any areas I might be sour at. So this weekend I went and checked out…

This story is based on actual events that took place. Names were removed from the story however this is written by me as I saw it. I would like to note that the events herein this story are pure truth word for word however some areas do have more detail then others and some things I did leave out, however the parts I left out was the boring or not so important events.

In life you meet many people and you have many great friends. You go to events with people and hang out or dance or maybe go to prom. But sometimes the people you think are your friends are really just out to stab you in the back and leave you to die. However the people that are really your friends are the ones who tell you about the supposed-to-be-friend stabbing that took place when your back was turned. And here is how the story went:

I’m a nineteen year old geek who loves technology and I have many friends. I help out at a local schools media department and I was invited to the senior prom for said school as they needed someone to film…
