Technology has gotten to the point where independent works are meeting if not exceeding works by established industries in terms of quality. It is astonishing how what used to be a professional grade camera is now outmatched by a tiny window on our phones. I believe it has gotten to the point where the quality of the media one makes is not determined by one’s wallet, but by one’s imagination.
Everyone has a moment when they are entranced by a form of media, be it a dramatic plot twist in a TV drama, or that tense life-or-death moment in a video game, or that sick bass drop in a dubstep track. That very moment is when one would temporarily forget about reality and experience a profound sense of emotion that can’t be described with words. It’s this magic behind these media forms that I wish to grasp and utilize.
Since birth, I’ve consumed various forms of media. From watching Animaniacs on Saturday mornings to seeing an ad for breast implants in the subway on my way back from class, there isn’t a moment when I’m not consuming media one way or the other. However, many of the media I’ve consumed has been forgotten over time, leaving only the most memorable ones. My one true goal is to create something that will not only capture the attention of my audience, but to leave a lasting impression that will stay with them forever.
