ALL HAIL MACBETH: My 1st Time At An Indie Theater!!!

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.” 
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

My Most Epic Documentary I've Ever Made... Still In The Making

It has been a while since I have made a documentary. And recently I have been reasonably busy with my need to graduate and enter the world as an adult. But at some point, I realized how special this time of my life is and how I'll never be this age again or feel the things my emotions are dishing out to me specifically at this time.

I wanted to capture the moments and their uniqueness, and make a film out of it for me to keep and cherish for the rest of my life. I still have six months until graduation, but I managed to make a good trailer out of the footage I have so far.

Sowithout further ado, here is the trailer for my documentary, "Senior", to be released summer 2016 following my graduation.

The Lazarus Effect: Amygdala Overdrive

I do not normally watch horror films, and the only reason I watched this one was because Donald Glover is in it and he is a very awesome man. But once I watched it, I was completely surprised.

How to Make a Movie: My Essay From TV Production Class

Top gun was the movie we were watching as a reference to the elements needed to make certain types of films. I don't know how it ended because the teacher never let us finish since we were playing around too much. I don't even think we made it passed the part when they were singing in the bar. With this in mind, we were all very confused as to why she named the assignment after a movie we barely watched. Basically, we had to describe all possible necessities to producing for television or movies with at least 500 words. Enjoy! (And in case you were wondering, The paper passed with a 98). ^_^

My School Documentary

I made a documentary about my school a week or two ago. My main goal was to capture my experience at the school. What actually happened was a plethora of negative opinions about the place.

My Little Brother Can Drive

He may not have a driver's license, but Sekou knows how to drive a car at the tender age of 15 months. He never fails to please. He was able to run errands all day, but he mostly did the grocery shopping. Don't believe me? See for yourself:

Carl the Cantaloupe

I was curious as to what it was like to be a melon, so I interviewed this cantaloupe that was on my counter. His name is Carl.

Behind the Scenes: The Ultra Red Delicious

I came up with the idea for this when it started snowing outside. This was before the snow storm (I think it was known as Nemo), and it definitely wasn't as strong. I think it was only an inch of snow. I've been meaning to take advantage of sunlight (the most natural lighting), or the weather period. When I saw it snowing outside, I knew I had to film something.

Behind the Scenes: The World According to Sekou Trailer

This film seemed like a no brainer. My brother does so much within a day, and my mother always asks me to make a montage of him as he grows up. Since I am making films nowadays, I needed something new and different to film, and I never actually filmed a person and composed it into a video. This was perfect!!!

The Making of Craig & Leon

For my second film, I wanted to do something a little simpler than Helogan. Simply because I wanted to try filming with my iPod touch. When I filmed it, I went through a different process than I usually would, so in my opinion this was one of my laziest productions (at least I admit it).
