    Damon’s ‘How To’

    by
            Damon here. I decided to use this assignment opportunity to give a little peek into my work process. Now, obviously, my art takes much longer than 30 seconds. It usually takes hours, days, even years. You could even say some of my work is taking a lifetime, but I won’t get too […]

    Damon catches up with himself

    by
          I caught up with myself this evening. Lately I’ve been feeling conflicted, as thought I’m not even able to speak to myself. I’m trying to work out everything that’s going on, but if I can’t even admit the truth to myself, how can I continue on? Ever since Bev told me all […]

      In my video essay, I look at one of the opening scenes of Mildred Pierce, in which a lot of interesting cinematography tricks are used to set the tone of the movie and introduce the audience to what they’re about to experience.

    I’ve definitely been intimidated by these video assignments, but this one allowed me to incorporate one of my favorite things: poetry. I also knew after watching the example version that this would be a great opportunity to use my character as part of the story. Picking up where we last left Damon, he’s still feeling […]
