The Magic of Cinema

Creating an Everlasting Impression

There is no denying the power of a good movie.? One of the most important aspects of our lives is to create a healthy balance between hard work and the entertainment we strive towards having.? The film business is probably one of the most impactful and influential industries to come to life since the invention of silent movies and photon sensor technologies.? The ability to capture the emotions we all feel through the power of audio and video is a core connection between humans and machines.? This a fine example of how the spoken words of someone's story can bring impactful and meaningful change by showing them a new perspective in a wonderful way.? A way to emphasize the beauty and horror this world encompasses as much as we seize to recognize the unfathomable truths of the reality of walking through life.??

One thing is for sure, it's made of magic.? From special effects to epic adventures on the highest mountain tops, it fills our wildest dreams with a fantasy that we too can live in that experience if only for a moment. That is the power of storytelling and movies give us the ability to over-accentuate the truth and believe that anything is possible if you’re willing to strive for greatness.? Or at least that is what it has done for me.? From the early VHS Disney tapes I use to hold in my hand to the multi-million dollar franchise hits that create a booming market in establishing new heroes, villains, and yes that one celebrity you just can’t get enough of in your life.? We have come a long way from the very beginning.??

The purpose of my writing today is to express aspects of media that I love and cherish and ultimately molded me into the creative soul I try to be.? There are so many aspects of making quality cinema, I can only really tap into core subjective that resonate with me to pull from and talk about how they raised me in how to carry myself.? It’s difficult to pinpoint what was the most impactful yet in every phase, of every narrative I have been left with a perception that the director, producer, and cast were able to portray. To understand how we got here look back to where it began.

Honoring the History in its Making

As a movie buff, I know quite a bit about the hardware and different logistics needed in bringing sequential storytelling altogether.? Nowadays we rely more on computer graphics and massive environmental layouts to really give off the magnitude and scope of the epic adventure that awaits.? It wasn’t always like that though... In fact, the Hollywood we see today is a derivative of something formed out of the massive success of the resulting lifestyle and luxury it brings.??

In the beginning things were a little different and in fact it was more a fascination of the locomotion in human nature than a massive explosions with pyrotechnics and epic encounters that have you strapped to your seats. Two photographers started their own motion-picture studio just as you and I have today in our own endeavors.? It was a mission to create something more. Everlasting consumption of projecting the light photons onto a canvas while the frames of chemically reactive substinances give off a relatable scene of something we could all relate to.??

One thing is for sure we have come a long way from the days of its creation and in that are the aspects we expect and come to know in the process.? I will not get into the different phases of evolution as we are all capable of doing our own research online on its origins, key players, and great successes along the way.? Instead, I’d like to dwell on some of the most impactful and fundamental characteristics that stem from making an everlasting impression on your mind through the power of film.?????

Seeking Action-Packed Thrills?

Every person has their own preferences when it comes to the genres and types of films they indulge in their everyday lives.? I think a fine example of this is how we’ve evolved from something as simple as multiple frames per second to create a motion picture to so much more.? The high-speed chases and intense scenarios of a good action movie stem from the understanding of the thrill in its nature.? As if we all had a little of Bond and Indie in ourselves to be able to uncover lost relics or save the world of destruction, it is the line of potential disaster and danger that keeps us waiting and wanting more.

Also in a way life is meant to be lived peacefully and low-key so in turn we get our excitement from these types of films.? The adrenaline flows through our veins as the surround sound kicks and musical scores create a flow of emotion as you wait to see what happens next.? To me, a good action movie is all about making us feel alive in an otherwise mundane and routine way of living.? It challenges all the boundaries set in place to rule over our own priorities and means of something more.??

To wrap it up we all live in this constant state of fear of knowing the unimaginable can happen at any moment as we look into the face of danger.? These films help prepare us and most of the time over exaggerate the reality of how things would actually pan out in real life but that's their sole purpose in the first place. To make us feel alive and that we are along for the ride.? So whether you strap yourself to the side of a plane or venture into the depths of the deepest ocean the curiosity and excitement it brings is the foundational component of a good action film and is a good way to feel something more.

Real-Life Storytelling?

Lately, I’ve been indulging in conversations pertaining to what the industry has become and what aspects have been lost at some point in time.? You can blame it on the rain or just the fact that kids nowadays expect so much more for their money and we have shifted our priorities and time into flash and excitement rather than a purposeful impact one can gain from sharing an experience or time past in the light of generations to come.? I believe this is subject to change though.? As a media technology fanatic, I have gone from the biggest and most extravagant workstations and tools to simplicity in its own nature.? A wave of applications meant to serve our every need and provide ample solutions has turned into a cluster of chaos and instability. As a result, deleting all that doesn’t serve your highest go and well-being helps create a uniform focus on the here and now.?

We will never veer away from the value of simulations and visual enhancements because it's allowed us to do more with less however eventually everything will circle back around for film where we will find the conditional standards of how we got here in the first place.? To do this… one must ask themselves.? What makes a good story in the first place?? Well if you ask me it stems from a transfer of energy from good to bad or maybe even from delusions to being woke.? Either way, it needs to leave you with an impactful result that changes the way you look at something and in the transfer of understanding a new way to perceive the inevitable. Life goes on with our without you and the marks you leave in the process are up to you as an individual.?

The best kind of storytelling in a script is one that gives you the natural ability to bring the context from an idea in your head to something you can visualize within your own imagination.? It paves way for the visualizing of how both the protagonist and supporting talent will reenact the specific scenario all while encompassing the meaning behind the original writer.? I’m first to admit all of this is very new to me and I’ve just started understanding the industry standards for appropriate formatting of narratives and setting the scenes. I’ve been coming at this with a more modernized media advertising approach where less is more and the little time you have to execute the message has to be swift and concise for it to give off the intentional approach to a viewer.? So storytelling in the end is about reliving a moment with those relatable pictures.? If you can leave a lasting impression similar to a good book or life experience from the content you create then that is all we can expect. Empowering this is in the substance of creation itself.

Fueling Imagination

I believe that our imaginations are one of the greatest god given gifts we can possess as a way to express our creativity.? What is set in stone from the hands of our peers is restricted to the resources that the universe has provided us in the first place.? The limitations in the nature of our world are not bound by the physics of our own imagination and what makes it such a powerful medium to create artistic expression out of nothing more than a thought that derives from your head.??

As a creator by my own means, my wild imagination is a result of the things I’ve experienced along the way.? The same stuff we all adhere to gets consumed into an influential bias in how we think and relive on our own expectations.? Things that those before us share are like building blocks for our own time and place to mold their teachings and guidance into our own means of doing so.?

We all need to get inspired by something to move past the comfort of security and things we are used to seeing because the norm will never push us to think outside the box and envision something worth fighting for.? Just know your own limitations of what you can perceive and the conquest you seek to chase after are formed through the pre-established scenarios your imagination plays out in your head.? Knowing that win or lose you will gain an understanding of how and why something happens the way it did will set you up for a better go-ahead the next time around.??

Enabling Creativity

On the very note in getting in touch with your imagination comes a just as important and valued understanding or relaying that information.? Our creativity stems from the images in our minds in a vivid and stimulating way that can expand the consciousness of those around us.? It is removing the bounds of uniformity and redundant task into uplifting a colorful personal reflection.? There is no better place to take these skillsets and ideologies than the power of the big screen.? We metaphorically open up doors to our own creative endeavors by working them out as things take shape.? There are many ways to do this however the impact of getting the narrative into the hands of every single boy and girl is the most direct and influential means of doing so.

If you want to start taking your traditional means of creative thinking from pen and paper to a digital format you need to start getting really good with all the tools necessary to do so.? This takes time as you will never master a craft overnight and there are many resources available to choose from. Understanding the steps in the process will help you remain focused and on track in regard to finding what you are able to get out of each program. Being resourceful and flexible to change will help you fill in that gaps.? When I think of creative aspiration in the sequential form it's trying to replicate what leaves an impactful experience with its own unique twist of fate.??

The technicalities of executing a plan come from the framework in how you want elements to pan out in a multi-dimensional reference to the world we know and maybe even aspects we don’t.? I will say the best way to get started is to churn out a handful of options to choose from and then finetune the ones you like most and continually want to improve upon. Things will fall into place and eventually, you will find complacency. Just don’t give up or beat yourself down if those that don’t appreciate or have the capacity to relate won't reciprocate.? Personal growth comes from an eternal understanding of who you are and what you are meant to be doing as an individual.??

Cinematic Compositing

I think now that we were able to get some of the conceptualization processes on the table when it comes to the power of effect in our digital flicks it's appropriate to dive into the real meat and bones of it all. If you don't understand what compositing is basically it's the process of removing a layer or background element such as a greenscreen and replacing it with something else usually more extravagant in its visual form.? However, you’re not always dealing with the process of removing elements.? Actually, I believe a more common exchange in the process is adding additional landmarks and props into the scene to give the impression of something more.? This is a powerful thing if you think about it.? The ability to place a person or thing anywhere you desire with a few techniques such as color keying, rotoscoping, and layering of additional depth of the context in its place.? We see it a lot in Science fiction movies simply because we are limited to the boundaries of our own philologies and are just now on the brink of trying to expand our reach thanks to leaders aiming to expand our understanding of the universe.??

When I first got into the aspects of media it was right after my time spent in Santa Barbara learning about computer sciences and information systems.? I had taken what I had learned from my time there but had become hungry for something more.? Maybe it was the effect of the cities of angels that got to me but I became obsessed with the idea that I could portray anything I could fathom only limited by my own set expectations.? I traveled with my dad to film schools in Los Angeles and San Diego in search of this calling for an understanding of how I could get into it and maybe even someday work in the industry. What ended up happening was I made a definitive decision that I needed more time first in creating a well-rounded foundation of understanding in the aspects of production. I put it on hold and got into my other favorite parts of media which I will talk about later in the article.??

But not all hope was lost for you see I had decided to take my passion and drive in these interests with me wherever I would go.? My company name and its domain digifx.com had been around a while now and was actually a company in southern California that sold greenscreen paints and accessories.? From what I saw following their site, the original owner had changed directions and moved on to different things. After years of chasing the web URL, it became available for sale and I was able to bid on it.? I remember the rush and excitement of the last few minutes of the process.? There were a few others interested and I ended up paying around $500 dollars to make it mine.? It took me a while to properly rely on the name and conventional aspects of what we did.? People would mistake it for Digi Fix and other names for the acronyms they made up in their heads. I am now turning towards a direction that is circling back around to where it started in the digital media realm and it's exciting.? After all, if you’re a true founder and love what you do, the passion for creating things for the world to enjoy dictates and decided the fate of its own success.?

Special Effects

As with the creation of your imaginative abilities, the effects in the film world complement all the compositing that takes place.? The other half of our story at DigiFX LLC is our love for particle animations and visual enhancements that elevate the representation of that moment.? Effects in the industry have a long history too.? Before all the graphics and computer systems to light things on fire, we had to rely on real-world elements and the propagation of illusions we could create to emphasize the unfathomable consequences of a played-out scenario. If you’ve ever seen a reenactment of a historic battlefield you’d know what I am talking about.? The use of smoke and mirrors and chemical reactions gives us the ability to enhance the stage for some kind of pastime or otherworldly scenario.? I have a huge respect for the artist and creators that set fire to a stage in the creation of a magnificent spectacle.? It was so much harder to create the scale and scope of a realistic storyline that I think we have come back to some of that instead of all the CG that is the new set standard.? I will say this… A good production team has the talent and abilities to leverage a hybrid nature between the both.? Some things are just better in the flesh and just like our hours spent on media and the internet getting time to do things in the real world will always have its place too.??

On the contrary, there is a reason we evolved into a more digital forefront in elemental effects and resources available. It comes down to a few very practical things.? First off there are no do-overs or erase features in a real-world scenario.? You press record, make sure the cameras rolling and all eyes are on the subjecting, and hope you did everything right so that it pans out for the better.? The other obvious reason is the cost-effectiveness of the value in return.? Pyrotechnics are not only dangerous in the wrong hands but also not cheap when use at the scale of a movie environment.? That explosion at the end of the movie if done with will real-world mechanics is a massive undertaking to set up and make way for something more.? We usually enhance and fill in the gaps with the plugins and platforms so that the hybrid approach is alive and kicking for sure.??

To my friends and colleagues that read this, I want you to know how much I value the things we keep old school.? It took me a huge amount of time in my adult life to obsess about everything here and now to really appreciate something you can hold in your hand.? The feeling and arousal of a change in the atmosphere as we light up the sky with light.? I want to promise that no matter how deep I venture into the digital landscape with wearable technology, haptic suits, and all these simulations of the real thing I will never lose sight of the analog states of how we got here. I owe it to the methods behind the madness and more importantly the origins in which the aspects of movie effects were established.? Maybe one day we will find that balance between the two.??

3D Animation

At some point between sound engineering and computer science, I dabbled in the aspects of 3d animation.? This was actually the start of my real understanding of game engines and 3d technologies such as Maya and all those other 3rd party plugins that enhance your workflow.? I’ll never forget one of the things my instructor Howard instilled in me when learning about the process of animation. I was always more into the environmental texturing and laying of elements like the compositing I discussed earlier.? The process of rigging and setting up controllers seemed so time-consuming and hard to do.? But he made me realize that what makes something valuable as its three-dimensional representation is the process of bringing it to life.? That all things alive or material-based can become something more.

A fine example of this is the power of companies of Dreamworks and Pixar Studios.? Any inanimate object can have its own moods and expressions simply by giving it characteristics of something more.? I understood why this was so important at that point because it is not easy to do in the process and in fact, I doubt most people in this world really appreciate the levels of complexity it takes in order to create a feature film.

We have become so good at leveraging 3d objects and animation techniques sometimes it's really hard to determine if something is real or rendered from a computer program.? I think this is a great thing but also kind of scary as if you look into these deep fakes that are coming out. The tricks that can be played to manipulate them into creating false pretenses need to be addressed and sought after.? With that being said I believe for the right reasons we can really change the way in which we pass along information to one another.? Just remember a pixel on a screen is just a hexadecimal value or the color tone and dialect of the contrast in which it mimics.? So use it well and wisely to better understand its principles and the stories you aim to share.

?Audio Scores

One of my favorite things about movie magic is the feeling you get when that opening scene unfolds an epic landscape with the composition of musical instruments starting to play.? God gave us two ears and two eyes with one mouth and you know why?? We are meant to listen and observe more than we are to emote into our worlds to really understand what it has to offer.? As I compose this article about media and its technologies I use rhythmic tempos and tunes to help lay out the words in my mind.? Why is it we do this???

Recently I was writing to a friend about what my time here has done for me and what it really means to be human.? The emotions we feel stem from the deepest roots of our own evolution and in a time and place where we can’t interpret each other dialect we use the universal language of audio and music to express how we feel.? I talk about this a lot in another article I wrote about my time spent exploring different types of music.? What I got out of the experience is that with every tempo and beat we stroll to comes an understanding that the emotions set the stage for why that is so.

Take this ideology and add its to our other senses of visualizing something grand and we have created an experience that not only entices the viewer but makes them feel and encompass the true meaning of that moment in time.? Building up to a predictable scenario and the aspects that all fall down of the result of the story you are trying to tell all take shape and in the end, it's why we indulge it in the first place.?

Epic Adventures

Now things start to get exciting.? We set the stage for the fundamental principles of how we create and the masterful tools and techniques we utilize to have things take shape.? What good is a story to tell if it isn’t given forth on epic proportions?? You can call yourself the Michael Bay of whatever it is you chase after but it all comes down to what you do with it.?

Why is it that we all want to maximize the nature of our reality?? As I stated before it's about filling the void of subsequent redundancies and staying in a place of comfort.? When we think of an adventure it's usually sought out as a very positive and enjoyable experience. For the most part, this is very true however there are always going to be aspects of the unknown that our universe doesn't want to make easy for us.? It can be a lesson in life or maybe just an unlucky circumstance but adventures require planning and hard work in accomplishing them which is why we rarely do them.?

I think this is what brings such value in the aspects of being able to keep that place of comfort close by while still getting served the experience of a once-a-lifetime rendezvous to another space-time continuum or a whole other world.? To establish an epic state of the array is to know you are embarking on a road less traveled which most would choose to not do so.? It’s the understanding that what lay ahead may not take kindly to our interpretation of normalcy and for this reason, we live these scenarios in our place of comfort and ease while feeling like we got the same experience.????

Remembering Past Times

If an adventure represents the unknown then on the other hand we can find ways to express and celebrate our past whether it be a fictional aspect of life or history that was made and needs to be relived.? Before TV, film, and all the visual components of life we used books for this same purpose.? Going back into biblical times we look for answers in holy scriptures and history as it's told through the eyes of those who speak for the beholder.? In the same place, we use the hustle and bustle of our ancestors to help relay a modernized version of what pans out over and over again.? We just don't realize that in our life comes a pastime where someone very similar experienced the same things just in a different way.??

What Boston really did for my appreciation besides the love for my country and the patriotism of what it means to be a proud American is it gave me nostalgia. I would look toward the old city aspects and its infrastructure to guide me in asking the right questions about what is important.? The old brick laid years ago tells a story on its own about the revolution of our growth and civilization.? I would envision I was that person in that time living in those times understanding that way of life like my own.??

To be in this state of mind is a valuable tactic and aspect of recreating the past into films that can relay that story and share the experience those people went through.? Who knows maybe one day even you and I will become a remake of some pastime in which the future wants to know how we did this or why we did that.? All that is true is that the ability to share that as a way to educate is powerful.????

Fueling Fantasies

I’m sure we have all heard those expressions that “life isn’t a movie” or on the contrary “this feels like I’m in the movies” and such things as that.? The boundless limitations that we don't have to set in storytelling on the big screen enrich our abilities to create anything that seems real. It can totally blow our conscious decision-making in how the world and people in it actually affect the results of our daily lives. Fantasies are a result of fulfilling the deepest desires of our own will and ambition.? They create sometimes an unreasonable expectation of what is physically possible and realistic which is why we love them so much.

There are also good and bad fantasies that take shape in our minds as we long for things out of this world. Either one can be hard to indulge in and may teach us the value of elevating our sensibilities to live in a sense of contentment.? I think that the value of having fantasies is that they give you something to be excited about and may even affect the chemical imbalances in our brain to trigger a feeling of something new.? Just stay aware of the dangers they can play if you’re not adamant about the effects in nature they brings for it can get the best of us all if we are not careful.?

As the subjective stand, the beauty of film will always allow us to live in a moment that we would otherwise never consider in the safety of our thresholds.? It also allows us to replay characters in our own representations that maybe could not otherwise exist somewhere else far far away.? No matter how you look at it these situations we place ourselves in are of the utmost importance in order to help us to dream and think big.? So use the aspects of what they bring to the table with the recognition that some are never meant to be our reality.??

Capturing Emotion

So tell me… what is it that really moves you? The power of motion pictures stems from the feeling you get when experiencing them.? The ability to feel the pain of someone else's grief or the joy of a happily ever after is what makes us human.? It’s what motivates you to keep going or give it all in for a sense of relief from the hardship you face.? A masterful director and the producers that bring these storylines to life by using it to empower the people.??

In this life, you will overcome the challenges you face and will fall down in the process.? The strength and ability to overcome these moments will build a foundation of understanding of what it takes to accomplish any goal that you seek to chase.? The sole purpose of feelings is a spiritual realm guiding us all.? A way of letting you know when something doesn’t seem right or maybe things are out of place.? How would we really know these things if we could trust the instincts that dwell within our very embodiment of feeling complete???

The narrative of a good book will keep you guessing until the end and within that same concept, the movies that get made off of good literature share the same qualities.? To relatable consequences we all face are what make it worthwhile as we learn from our mistakes and those they teach us and the ability to understand the importance behind these lessons are a big step in understanding who we really are.??

Making the Magic

Understanding what makes something magical is key to the core values of finding what you live for in the making.? I often think about what makes something filled with magic and excitement to a point where your eye light up from the spectacles that present themself at times need be.? Magic to me isn’t pulling a rabbit out of a hat out the trap door that we know is hidden behind every stage door.? It's the astonishing act of leaving someone wanting more and an understanding that you know there is a specific circumstance that is inevitably the reason for all that you are witnessing yet we still can’t seem to make it.? Like magic... the ability to wow someone through an illusion meant to question all that is real is a lot of fun.

When you give time to a performance of a talented individual giving it their all the feeling of what it took them to get there it can be hard to relate to until you go through something similar.? Any aspects of the environment prior are just a stage set ready to deploy any number of scenarios catching the consumer off guard and not thinking about what could happen.? It’s the unknown factors that take shape into something new that makes us question the validity of all that it's offering us and that's the real culprit of its demise.

Making magic in the movies is a little more than enticing someone to indulge in their own sensibility.? It's taking all that we know, hear, and think about when it comes to experiencing real life and the curiosity of something else.? Using the power of editing and special effects magic is a big part of role-playing when it comes to making you feel this way.??

Driving Passion

We are all passionate about something and if you’re not sure what that is yet don't worry.? Passion can step from an unfiltered memory of that night that brought you joy and fulfillment in the aftermath of its actions.? It can be the love and unconditional relationship you share with someone or something that makes you feel whole and want to work to keep the feeling alive.? We all think of love stories with something like this yet it always seems to be a different story each time.? It’s important to remember that passion finds you and not the other way around.? It whispers to you in your deepest moments of thought and sheds light on the need to find clarity.? Whatever it is that keeps you truckin'... make sure you revel in a willingness to let your spirit guide you every step of the way.?

When sharing your story with the world you want to stem from the place that got you to that point and not a common narrative that is expected or validated in the eyes of others.? How you master these tactics is a place of confidence that the trials and tribulations will keep things moving in a forward direction.? I speak of passion with the movies because we often look for answers in places we turn to in life.? Someone out there has a similar situation they’re facing yet we seem to only see things through our own lens. Doing something for people you love and not because it will reward you in the process. That is a key factor in anything we put our time and energy into. When two people come together the sparks fly and the whole world can feel the bond you two share with each other.? The passion that drives you is a result of wanting it to continue because anything less would leave you empty and underwhelmed in the end.??

Uncovering Fairy Tale

A fairy tale is somewhat of a happy ending but honestly, not all of those are ones to be told.? Sometimes we live out a circumstance that is not needed to be shared or celebrated on a public front but more of the peace of mind in knowing that you are in a place of being complacent.? Whether you seek a knight in shining armor or a prince charming the aspects of that being an unrealistic goal are created through the negativity of mainstream media and people's reflections of things that didn’t go their way.? You can find them in everyday life and although it's not all fair, there is an opportunity for everyone to give them that feeling if they’re willing to go after it.??

We see a lot of these stoic pastimes in children's movies because at that age a young person's mind is still very malleable and conditioned to absorb the surrounding which is why we choose to mask the truth of the world.? But unlike all the negativity that we engage every day as we grow older, there is still room in your soul to want these things too.? In fact, it actually is healthier in a place of mental stability to hope for the best and shoot for the stars in the process.? Not just the wins and the gain but the comfort of it is even more wonderful than you can imagine and why would you aim for those results in the process.

I often ask myself how much truth is made up of all of this when we are conditioned to think the same and dwell in each other's moments of happiness.? I think the core thing to think about when watching a movie or your favorite show is that it's made to give you hope and the feeling that what if I just pushed a little harder?? Maybe something can come out of it after all for a happily ever after.??

Inspiring your Dreams

I think one of the most impactful things to take away from the world around us is that your dreams are possible and a place to aim for.? The challenge isn’t really the end goal because you already set that milestone in the first place as a reason to go for something.? The difference between then and now is the road we travel in getting there not knowing when or how it will end but just fighting to keep going the extra mile.? There is no reason to believe your dreams can’t come true.? Just be conscious of whom you surround yourself with and the people you listen to.? They’re not after the same thing you are in most cases.??

When it comes to the dreams we see fulfilled in most movies it does seem to always work perfectly out at the end which I admit is not the way to think about it.? Instead, you have to remind yourself every day that you were brought into this world for a purpose and it is something that only you can figure out for yourself.? That is the ebb and flow of something more.? A wish fulfillment perhaps but wishes are asking for something else to complete your request as a dream shows you the ways to take you to the destination.??

We all dream of something and the films we watch give us ideas and concepts to focus on.? At the end of the day that is all you really need as motivation to go after what you want as long as you stay agile to the realistic nature of how things play out.? We try to stay positive in the process because the stories we tell seem to always work out in that demeanor.? As much as that seems extraordinary to believe there is some truth that is told in having a great attitude to succeed.? Your dreams will guide you in the spirit of life as long as you are willing to put in the work.??

Love for the Stars

If you asked me who my favorite actors are I could easily name a few but to be honest every single individual that plays a character in that one movie will condition the way you think and understand yourself in a relatable way.? Whether is a celebrity crush or the naturally born hero that we all admire for the bravery and chivalry they possess, there is something special about the ones who guide us in these stories.

An actor is the one to make the experience all worthwhile because you fall in love with the things they undergo and adhere to their emotional states of mind at that moment.? Every single one will be a role model that you will choose to resonate with and that’s why we praise and look up to them so much.? They are all part of the image and character traits we aim or want to possess and yet seem superhuman in all that they can bring to the table.

My entire life has been inspired by these individuals and if you put me in a room with most of Hollywood I could tell you my favorite role each one has played and how they affected my life for the better.? In the past few years of my endeavors, there have been a select few that inspired me in times of need and I have become infatuated with the fact they were able to do something for me no one else could.? It’s because of this we celebrate all that they show us and the lessons learned in walking in their footsteps.? Movies give you the ability to relate to things and we use them as a crutch to expand upon ourselves to others.?

Future of Film

I want you to ask yourself in this very moment… what is it that you really want in life and what steps are you taking in getting yourself there? I say this because your time is right now to be amazing.? To make a difference if you choose to never give up on the things you love and want to see happen in this world.??

As someone who has chosen a road less traveled it took me many years to figure out what I wanted to go after and what was right for me.? I had to go through all these waves of interest and things I found fascinating to really fine-tune some kind of understanding of why I was going after it all.? I still don’t think it's figured out but I'm in this beautiful place in life where all that I have endured and faced led me up to this very moment.? Something very special to me I get to share with the world after all that it took me to get there.? I was only able to scratch the surface of how the film industry plays a role in modern society but I will tell you everything I talk about here is a condition of the different parts of my journey that lead me to this place I stand now.? My love for media and technology. The games I played as a young kid and the people who inspired me to try and do something bigger than myself. I owe this to the industry, its players, and the long hours of grinding away while my favorite movie played in the background keeping me going in the times I needed it most.??

I believe the future of entertainment will bring together all the aspects of the hardware technologies and entertainment we seek as with an interactive landscape of infinite possibilities. One where every young girl and boy can reach out to their favorite influencer in a digital forefront and feel like they are a part of the storytelling that we all long for and try to capture in its existential meaning.? I realize now we exist not to take from this world but to give back with everything we have learned in the process.? A way of being able to pass the torch to the next generation of inspired people to be that shining light in the darkest of scenarios.? Will it be easy… it never is.? The reason we challenge ourselves is to push the boundaries of what we think is possible creating a smaller and more connected world.?

If I can leave you with one thing it would be to think about how you can create a better foundation for a world that is constantly changing and searching for answers.? Present opportunities that will give somebody a reason to jump out of their comfort zone and enjoy every moment of the process.? As we continue to roll out these emerging technologies and industries that pave the way for a better future there is a place for everyone in it.? Find your magic and the world will help you use it to bring good to yourself and those around you!
