Since I started Caribbean Sun Productions, I have met so many people and done lots of fun stuff. I feel very liberated when I'm behind the lens of a video camera. I find that I can create a world that others may be intrigued to visit. It is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had.
Sometimes I wish I had a partner that is as crazy and zany as I am. I could just imagine the ideas that would come out. For now, it's just me doing all of it. It does get kind of hectic at times, but it's always fun.
A few years ago, I started out by doing home movies (no, not that kind you perv!). I would shoot some stuff, edit it, burn it on DVD and send it to family. I managed to do three of them for the family. I don't know if they have them. It would be nice if they did.
From that little experience, I jumped in over my head and started doing weddings! Talk about a wake up call. I had no idea on how to do pre-production or anything. It made me think of way to work on my craft. I wasn't anywhere near good (not that I'm a James Cameron). However, the love of the art really helped me in pursuing the knowledge I needed.
The next step in my evolution was doing a small show that live for a half a season on this website (SamVidBlog News). I don't know why people liked it. If you ask me, it stunk..lol.My friends were great. I wasn't. I didn't like being in front of the camera. I was most comfortable behind it. However, this taught me alot about planned and improv materiel. It also taught me that my friends have hidden talents (time to exploit them! lol).
After a little time off, I was back into the swing of things. That's when things really began to take off. In less than six months, I have been blessed with so many opportunities that it makes me smile form ear to ear. I really love all the things that are happening.
Now, this entry isn't meant to gloat (not by any means). I just wanted to share some of the history behind Caribbean Sun Productions. I enjoy what I do and wish to share it with everyone. I'm always looking for people to get involved with and do some projects. There is nothing quite like the feel of having an idea and seeing it materialize before your eyes.
So to my friends, thank yo for supporting and believing in me. I have the best friends in the world! I'm looking for some people to share and work with. So if you're interested, look me up! I wouldn't hurt to do something cool.
Remember to always believe, even when people tell you different. Do it! There's nothing worse than a "what if?" in one's life. All you need is yourself to believe in it. You will accomplish it. Well, this one is tarred and feathered. Have a safe weekend. Keep safe and dream big!
