    paper GoBeMore - Canada - British Columbia - shortfilm

    This a short project i made when on holiday with friends, the challenge was for us as team with a week out in the mountains to put together stories looking at our adventuer that week from different perspective. My brief was ‘A motivational video to invite people like a call to adventure’.

    Though its not super polished i enjoyed filming and editing this short and even with the short turn around, i learnt alot about what was possible in such a short space of time. I am proud to display this, it because it represents what i love about my creative journey so far as a videographer, the desire to challenge myself, i am always looking for ways to improve and i gained a interest in working on conceptual projects.
