Josiah S.

As a filmmaker, I am great at pre-production, execution, and post-production. My love for film and creation called for me to learn all of the steps that came with it. From planning a shoot, location scouting, casting, permit acquisition, editing, lighting, sound design, to filming, acting and directing and everything in between. As I learned to produce different types of projects, I quickly fell in love with the entire process and the thrill of learning how to produce different types of projects according to the client's wants and needs. To date, I am proficient in filming and editing commercials, feature films, social media ads, short films, weddings, parties/events, recap videos, fashion films, and even music videos. There is something about taking an abstract idea, and using locations, people, and props and creating something that is real, and tangible. It is very much like turning a blank canvas into a beautiful piece of artwork. In the same way, I love being able to take someone’s ideas and being able to turn it all into a cohesive end product that conveys a message, or evokes emotion. I can't wait to showcase my talent here on Upwork and expand my portfolio! My Skillset: 1) Planning - I have always been great at pre-production. Planning and being be prepared for the shoot and any unexpected situations that may arise is the best way to ensure that shoot day goes smoothly and efficiently. 2) Filming - I love taking new locations, concepts, and products and "finding the shot." There is only so much you can do in pre-production to plan for shots. Sometimes while on set, you may stumble upon a unique set of circumstances that were impossible to plan for. For example, once on set, you may be inspired by the natural lighting to capture a shot or angle that otherwise wouldn't have happened. 3) Editing - I think that in many ways editing is just as important as the cinematography and pre-production. You can have the most beautiful shots in the world, but if the editor doesn't know how to compile these shots and angles into a cohesive end product, then all of those beautiful shots are wasted. All in all, the biggest take away should be that my creativity is my biggest asset. Whether I am planning, filming, or editing, I love to get creative and use my imagination in each step of the process to come up with a final project that artistically surpasses what the client or I envisioned. MY PRODUCTION COMPANY I founded my production company Kyng Media for commercial video production, after working as a producer and head of video content creation at a well known modeling agency that is transitioning into a marketing company based in Atlanta, Georgia. At the agency, I produced many commercials and social media ads for notable brands. I am in love with film and movies, so my long term goal is to become a household name film production company, but I realize and embrace the fact that part of that journey will be to produce many smaller scale projects and commercials in order to someday get there. To date, I have filmed and edited literally hundreds of videos. This includes corporate videos, interviews, product videos, music videos, real estate videos, weddings, funding videos, social media reels, short films, and more. I look forward to the opportunity to bring your vision to life, and add your brand to my portfolio of successfully completed projects! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward talking to you about your next big video project!
