Re:Blue (2015) [Director, Editor]
This for me is a slight issue, I can see jealousy in my heart now when I look at the bountiful mountains of content present of my fellow peers I find myself feeling rather worried, so I figured I'd take a small look back at my origins, and the things that I'd never put on a showreel for fear of embarrassing myself half to death:
Despite an early adoration for editing, the majority of my pre-University years were not spent making grand projects, but honing cutting skills through the use of AMVs (Anime Music Videos), a niche community of amateur music video creators, a series of early experiments that due to early automated copyright strikes not including transformative work and low quality, sadly barely exist online anymore... The one that does is....not something I look back on with too much pride xD; it was a start, true, but it's hard not to look back with embarrassment:
That said early videos online of mine were often heavily inspired by the lacks of other comedy youtubers, especially within the Video Games community, while not particularly representative of the filmmaker I've become, the origins of much of my presence come from an early video tribute to the game Sleeping Dogs:
This later desire for comedic online entertainment soon became heavily inspired by Charlie Brooker and the deployment of shock humor, a newfound obsession with such things became the basis of the channel Hell+, that, while mostly abandoned currently, amassed a niche 1000 follower audience with the most viewed episode being, also, one of the most intentionally shocking:
Channels fail, passions fade, and sometime Hell+ just sin't that fun to do anymore, it was an emotional state of the time, one that has disappeared into a world of my own new-found confidence and stability only occasionally ruined by self-destructive tendencies. That said it's weird looking forward in supreme fear of the unknown, I may have used to be awful, but at the very least I can lay comfort in this past, making a showreel is all about impressing for the future...that's not something that I sit particularly comfortable with. In the end there's little one can do but wait helplessly as one attempts to forge something out of all of this, what I'm forging I have no clue....I hope it looks pretty at least!
