Born and raised in Dallas, Texas. After spending four years taking television production classes in high school I loved the world of cinema and capturing stories and emotions to share. I joined the U.S. Navy after high school and I went in as a Mass Communication Specialist (MC). As an MC I continued to capture and share the Navy's story through journalism, photography, and videography. After leaving the Navy, I moved to Austin and I am a current student at the University of Texas at Austin studying psychology.
For the One Step Closer music video after some back and forth with the Stun Guns’ bassist, Jon More, I came up with this idea about a man finally letting go of his past. This idea lined up pretty neatly with what the song was all about and to show his past visually I had it take the form of some cute cardboard people. The cardboard people ended up complicating the video, but after I had the idea I just couldn’t let it go! I had the cardboard costumes made, and then I filmed. The video took me over a year to finish, but that was mainly due to me not having a clue on how to use Adobe After Effects. Editing the cardboard people in after effects was a substantially painstaking process. Anyway, I finally finished, and I love the result. Please enjoy the video!
