This weekend we watched a creativeLIVE workshop with Sue Bryce and Hailey Bartholomew about video… something I’ve done for so many years of my life. Most persons watching this workshop are photographers wanting to learn more about video. But as you all now, I am a professional video editor trying to learn more about photography. And I want so badly to merge the two things in one, to follow my two passions and make of them One Big Passion, but for some reason I just couldn’t see the amazing possibilities on front of me.
This workshop opened my eyes. It showed me I have the skills, I have all the tools I need, I just need to let go of my fears and let my imagination drive me. I got really inspired. And I couldn’t wait any longer. Here is my first stop-motion! Thank you so much Sue and Hailey, for bringing video back into my life!
All the inspiration and renewed passion for video came right in good time. Today I have an important mission: to edit a promo video for a fantastic photographer! I approached her to ask for help with my photography… And all of a sudden I realize I have something to give back too. I can teach others how to shoot video and edit video and I can learn from others how to be a better photographer. Hope that’s the beginning of many healthy and creative partnerships :)
