Brainstorm


Music Video

"Looking Back & Forth" 

It's the things in life that you thought were stable, that hurt most when they change. 

Using Judah & The Lion's song "Everything Changes" (with permission from band) I would work to create a video that emulates what the lyrics in the song speak to. That is, how things can change so quickly when it feels like they have been one way for so long. The only solid ground being in Jesus, because He doesn't change, He isn't moved. My aim in this video would be to show a person that is reminiscing on his or her old days & doing some flashbacks to old home videos and incorporating that nostalgia feel with some emotion. 


Documentary

"Huff & Puff"

Handcrafted Longboards using only reclaimed, recycled, and sustainable materials. 

I know a guy that I went to High School with that has started is one business crafting and selling longboards called "Huff & Puff". He is a very aware guy that has a pretty sweet vision and it would be neat to get to know what brought about his desire for this business and how it is going since it is an early start-up, but seems to have really good potential. Also, he would let me use his GoPro to shoot some of the shots most likely which would be a plus! This would be similar to the sample video we saw in class of the motorbike / brewing company. 


Narrative

"Check Mate"

When the game isn't just a game anymore.

Magical, mythical, un-real things seem to grab attention… well mine anyways. The story line would be something with a chess game becoming real life action (kinda like in Harry Potter) except it would be a normal chess game until there had to be a player removed in which there would take place a "FINISH HIM!" scenario where one player would behead, shoot, or blow up the other player. This could be taken in more of a comical fashion, or evil and horror.

Self-Portrait and BIO

Hey y'all!

My name is Benjamin Chason Hueni (He-Knee). I have always loved media, in basically every form. Like mentioned in class, I have experience with Premiere from a prior class and shooting and editing wedding videos, as well as product videos for my job. I really enjoy working with video and Premiere is very easy and fun to work with.

Movies: Lone Survivor, Dumb and Dumber, The Hobbit trilogy.

TV Shows: The Office, Parks and Rec, Prison Break, Friday Night Lights

Music: Indie/Folk/Acoustic - The Lumineers, Ben Howard, The Head & The Heart, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors.
Christian Rap - LeCrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, KB, Andy Mineo

I would LOVE to make music videos, or direct them if there were no restrictions or budgets. Scenes with good music and beautiful shots of creation are something I will never get past. It draws me. As far as goals, I am more geared toward design, weather it be web design or any kind of marketing really. I would love to do some kind of advertising in my future.

Thanks for reading!

Ben
