Celeste Deanda About celeste...

Everything happens for a reason. I have always stood by this idea in good times, bad times, and even in my work. As Bob Ross once said, we can make “happy little accidents”. You can’t always control what happens, but you can control how you react. If a project isn’t coming out the way I need it to, I simply change my perspective and work with what I have. I developed an interest in videography from watching music videos growing up, and in high school when most of the media I consumed was YouTube. One YouTube creator in particular, Julien Solomita, had a focus on making their daily vlogs cinematic. I was fascinated at how he could make regular chores interesting. I love the idea of giving complexity and perspective to something we’re already familiar with. I am especially drawn to the way music videos can add new depth and meaning to a song. My personal work often seems to naturally create its own story as I work with it. I’ve found my videos are more cohesive when I let the story tell itself as opposed to planning every detail of it. I’ve been learning how to plan my work and still communicate what I desire through my time here at Southeast Tech. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been a fun challenge for me, and I’m eager to continue challenging myself. My intentions lean towards bridging an idea or a feeling to the viewers and ultimately sharing something unique with everyone.
