Amazing videos

So, I have been inspired lately to really find my way back to the multimedia world. I want to definitely enhance my skills in audio recording and video editing. I absolutely love this stuff, and its an everyday passion of mine. I want to be able to contribute art to the world of video, and be able to present my feelings and emotion into them. Vimeo.com is one of the sites I find the most inspiration. Here, you can find all types of videos made by people on various subjects. I have posted a few really cool videos down below for you to check out. If you want to find more, go to the site, and spend some time there.

Let it be known...

So many things are just going crazy these days, and I can't tell you how many times I get asked if I have some work up online anywhere. I also get asked for business cards all the time. Apparently, I'm being too quiet in the industry at the moment, so let it be known. IT'S TIME TO GET ROWDY!!!! I have my domain name again, being EricDewyngaert.com. I'm currently working on my design portfolio site of current work. I will only post major projects for the moment. I don't want to put many out there, since I want to perfect most of my work before it's exposed to the world. But again, let it be known, I have one year of Portfolio Center, and I will be coming at this industry full force. They won't know what hit em. I also redid the blog back to its original look, if you hadn't noticed.

I will also be in the process of branding myself. I want this to be a lengthy process to make sure I have a solid creative brief backing me for clients, as well as much meaning behind the logo, whatever it be. I will be creating my entire creative setup from there on (business card, logo, stationary, and site upgrades). Branding is one area I see myself going into when I finish school. I have learned a good bit about it since I take a branding class almost every quarter.

I am tentatively planning a trip to New York City for a few days during my break to go and see some companies and what they are doing. Building relationships is key at this point in the game, and I look forward to seeing some creatives that I have met from there, as well as seeing some friends. I will also be leaving a few days after my return from NYC to head to Memphis for the AIGA National Design Conference, Make:Think. This will actually be taking place the first week of my 5th quarter, which is my halfway point through school! Crazy how fast time flies. I will return back to Atlanta to get to know my new roommate, Kathleen.

I'll leave you with a video. Pretty incredible.
