Artist Statement

I’ve always had a subtle interest in video-making. Whenever teachers listed videos as an option for projects and presentations, I’d jump at the opportunity. It just seems fun to me. But outside of said projects, I haven’t dwelled much in the field. It seems far more daunting to make videos recreationally. By this, I mean, putting yourself out there as a creative entity, rather than just presenting your video for a required grade in school. It’s hard to make a statement about my art when I haven’t actually done that much creating as of yet.

What I hope for in this course is that it will give me more creative confidence, as well as make me more motivated to plan projects on my own. I believe that after taking this class and polishing my (very unrefined) videography skills, I will be confident enough to start working on my own personal projects for fun and able to post them publicly without worrying about judgment so much. Working with video production could lead to various fun job opportunities, but even if I don’t make a career out of such a thing, I think it would be beneficial to find a creative outlet for my free time and I’ve never been one for, say for example, painting or drawing.
