I grew up in a farm, connected to the soil where most of my raw inspiration stems from. I recently moved to Bend, Oregon to pursue opportunities within the outdoor product world and to be surrounded by the unique and varied natural beauty here. I work with brands with social impact at their core and leverage my storytelling skills to implore their audiences to make decisions in harmony with nature and humanity.<\/p>\n<p>One of the brands I work with contributes to a non-profit called Big City Mountaineers. BCM works with under-resourced youth to help connect them with nature through camping excursions.<\/p>\n<p>In researching for this project I met with Jahmai, a young man from South Phoenix, Arizona, who has a profound connection with nature, though his access to it is limited. This film is a result of a spontaneous impulse. I learned about Jahmai and captured him during his visit to Bend, OR. My current working method is to be prolific in my creations and follow my intuition without question.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1922 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00015-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"747\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00015-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00015-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00015.jpg 1060w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I was editing a commercial for Zeiss binoculars during my days with KISKA, I was in search of a software product that could give me that real film look with organic grains. That was when I discovered FilmConvert and since then I&#8217;ve continued using it with DaVinci or Premiere.<\/p>\n<p>Upon the completion of the Jahmai film, with FilmConvert I was able to get the analogue, film-look and add the organic grainy feel I was going for. I am a big analogue person and I love real film and its colors. FilmConvert&#8217;s color palette is right on point with my taste and there is enough space for me to tweak it and use it with other LUTS as needed. I really like to work fast and efficient and with the FilmConvert plug-in I can greatly reduce my post production time.<\/p>\n<p><em>What was the particular look or style you were going for with your film?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1927 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00105-1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00105-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00105-1-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00105-1-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC00105-1.jpg 708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dramatic, desaturated, earthy, natural and low contrast look.
