This is the time in my career where I worked on my craft at every chance that I could. My friends and family were my models, our homes were my sets and on occasion I would meet someone with a plane and try to photograph that as well.
I knocked on the door of many production companies, shadowed cinematographers and photographers and worked diligently to become good enough at post production to understand motion, visual effects a green screen work.
A veteran camera operator shared my name with a producer and next thing I know, I am in a green room with Shaq, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams and some of the greatest comedic minds of our generation.
A chance response to a Craigslist post put me in the producer's chair, assembling a crew of 12 camera operators and talent for a large scale project for Adidas.
"Idle hands are the devil's workshop." I also believe that this quote can be said the other way. Working hands are always of service.
My career is an example of hard work and taking the opportunities when they present themselves.
This period in my career includes some of the worst design, branding and video projects I have ever created. I learned to own my mistakes, ask for help and understand that failure is critical to success. Working with celebrities and dignitaries, I learned how I wanted to be treated and how I should not treat people.
