I bow to you Mr. Jon Harris, I think I am getting close to mastering "YOU"

     The define yourself issue perhaps is one of the most difficult things for some of us when it comes to finding a creative style.   We all strive to be different in a world of trends as we look to establish our identity.  So how do we build our own style? Because according to some people "Everything has been said an done" and yes, I agree.  So as an artist  What do you do?  This is where "CONFIDENCE" plays a big role, as as an artist you have to believe that everything that you do has a meaning and relevance.  Creative style comes from years of trial and error. Every single artist borrows ideas from other artists, that is until they find their own essence.  So if you are in the business of telling stories you need to be able to experience: Everything that has been said and done until you find yourself.
 

       Couple weeks ago, I went to see the movie 127 hours, starring James Franco. I am sure you have heard of it, but if you haven't, is the story of mountain climber Aron Ralston who finds himself trapped in an isolated canyon in Utah after boulder crashes on his arm. Amazing movie btw!! Something captivated me from this movie besides the intricate storytelling, what captivated me was the editing style and the sound design.   I was mesmerized through out the movie by the work of Mr. Jon Harris. I love how he played with the images, some people call it "THE GUY RITCHIE STYLE", but I say great job Mr. Harris.














         I was definitely very inspired. I really wanted to emulate his style, but I simply could not find the right material until the opportunity knocked: a client with a music video.  This was an opportunity to apply this new concept and make it my own. 3 days later I had a very happy customer and I had learned a new style.  Anyhow, even though I am not at the point of setting new trends anytime soon,  I am just simply happy to say that I made the "127 hours " style my own. The name of the music video is "Party all the time" by Indigo.  Le me know what you think,  Perhaps you have something similar that you would like to share? Remember in the world of "Everything has been said an done"  I say, well "is not what you say, is how you say it"
