Something a little different for 2020

It’s been a while here at JC.net, so I thought I would begin 2020 by revamping the website, including my reels. This process can feel slow and even a bit agonizing to the uninitiated, but I think it’s truly important to examine one’s own work in depth; you’ll discover themes, motifs, patterns, and choices, whether unconscious or not. I’m certainly learning plenty about myself while compiling new reels!

I’m also beginning to think differently about the “reel” itself. What does it mean to create a demo of one’s work from such a highly collaborative medium, and who is the target audience for said reel? I have seen my fair share of reels, and I know full well that unless someone is WILDLY interested, most viewers won’t continue past a few shots, or maybe even thirty seconds. There has to be a way to stir up interest…

I’ll have a new format here at the site in a little while as well as updated information (fun new things happening in 2020), but for now, I’ll leave a few brief teasers here with work that I have shot and colored. Enjoy.
