Why I Point a Camera in Your Face

So, there’s many reasons why I love to make films. I mentioned a few in my “A Little Background” post, but I thought I’d share one of the most meaningful part of the process for me.

If you’re a close friend or family member of mine, you’re probably used to me pointing a camera in your face and recording funny or memorable moments we experience.

Although this is a fun hobby for me, it really is part of something so much bigger for me. Making videos is a way for me to keep my memories alive. I have the privilege of recording moments so that I can feel how I did in that moment again.

While there are many downsides to technology, I think it is also such a blessing. Our memories don’t have to be so distant anymore because now we can almost relive exactly what we were feeling and seeing through the screen.

In times like these, where I miss more than anything the feeling of adventuring with my friends, I can look back at those old videos and remind myself that those times will come back.

Like I said before, my goal when making videos is to have my audience feel something. Whether they were actually pictured in the video or not, I hope that it reminds them of a time in their life where they felt alive.

I don’t ever know if my thoughts make sense or sound cohesive, but what I do know, is the feeling I get when I think about the moments in my life I had the gift of living through - and recording along the way! :)
