Family Ties

© kamau ware 2010

This video i shot and edited for a great family i have become fast friends with. The subject is Kenny who in the month of July 2010 turned 21 and was then deployed to Afghanistan. His father asked me to shoot a video, as a photographer and a father myself, i was happy to do so. For one reason or another, it has been difficult to get a copy of the DVD to him. Both of his parents asked me to post the video online so he can get the link, so i figured if it's on youtube, it's certainly okay for kamaustudios. Remember, this is a 21 year old birthday party so this almost 15 minute video is not for 4th graders. i set the track to Drake because he was in heavy rotation that night. Be safe, Kenny. Get back in one piece and i'll be at the next party with my camera ready.

Presented here is my foray into filmmaking. i have dreamed of being a filmmaker and now i'm creating my own short films and completing video projects for hire. i shoot with my Nikon D90 and edit in Final Cut 7. For the sake of clarity on this site, i will refer to any moving image captured digitally especially if it has come out of an editing suite, as video, even if it's feature length. Filmmaking will be used to describe this process - pre-production, production, and post-production; whether shot in 16 mm or digital. What is presented here are short videos i shot and edited.
