How I started in Video

I get this question a lot from people just starting out.  So here it is.  I just grabbed whatever camera I could find and started filming things that were happening.  From family trips to highlight video’s for my church and behind the scenes video’s of backpacking trips.  There wasn’t really a method in the early days just to try to find an interesting story that people would want to follow.  I decided to dig up one of the first films I made.  About 5 years ago I grabbed my wife’s 3 mp still camera that had a video function and headed into the woods for 3 days.  No Zeiss lenses, no dolly, and no lighting.  Just a small camera and a story. Over the years I have upgraded my gear and learned new techniques but the structure remains the same.  Find a story that is engaging and bring it to life.  So here it is one of the first film JAFilm ever produced.  It’s crazy to look back and see where you started.  Enjoy
