Director Projects
Thanks to my time at Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies, I've learned that directing isn't just simply adapting a script or an idea into a video format. A director needs to surpass the script and idea by finding ways to communicate their intentions through visual means. So every decision, let that be sound effect, lighting or composition needs to have a meaning behind it, and the directors tries to achieve that meaning with the help of the cast and crew.
As a director, I'm always trying to find ways express something by using subtle visual and sound components. Each production comes with their own challenges, by I'm always learning from them to surpass my skills.
