My name is Isaac. I’ve always been fascinated by video cameras and just the entire concept of video editing as a whole. But it would be a very long time til I discovered that I truly loved this art. Especially since I got out of the Army in 2015, being a unit supply specialist and paratrooper was vastly different to what I’m doing now, and what I’m doing now had very little correlation to what I wanted to do then. It wasn’t until I took a 2019 Fall semester CINE 24 class - Basic Film Production in school. It was just an elective I randomly chose because I had a different major back then. It didn’t take long, I fell in love instantly. BUT If you noticed that date I mentioned, you’d quickly remember what happened to the entire world only a few short months away.

It was during the 2020 Covid-19 lockout when I stumbled upon this documentary on an innocuous night in April. ‘LA Originals’… watching this quite literally changed my life because I was absolutely enthralled and inspired by the careers and lives of Mister Cartoon and especially Estevan Oriol. I loved the fact that Estevan documented so much diversity and in so many different mediums to such an elite level. Right then and there I committed myself to this world and was all in. I officially changed my major to Film Production and I’ve been on this journey learning and getting better. I’ve gained a decent amount of equipment by the time of writing this, so I’m now more confident in broadcasting my abilities and taking clients.

So what’s next? The goal is to work sports in the fall and winter, then in the spring off-season shoot more wildlife, cars/motorsports, and then (hopefully) personal vacation vlogs and training camp work in the summer until the season comes along again. In a perfect world I want constant creative work, from different realms, so I can be as well rounded or as surgical as I need to be. In the meantime I make off trail hiking/catching wildlife reels on Instagram, casual drone landscape footage, and football mini docs mixed in with a highlight reel on YouTube. This is undoubtedly something I want to do for the rest of my life. I’ll never stop learning and adapting, if that wasn’t the case… well, then what’s the point?

Happy shooting.
