Mission Statement All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination. -Carl Jung Many people wonder what their purpose is in life. They have trouble understanding that it comes from within. My purpose is to make moments last a lifetime by producing high-quality, imaginative videos. My professional goals include harnessing clients ideas and encapsulating them into masterpieces. A kid sits in the grass and presses record. His friend comes barreling down the street on rollerblades with an exaggerated sense of confidence. As all eight wheels contact a plastic mini-ramp, time shifts. His body soars through the air in slow motion, completing one full rotation. The camera burns every millisecond onto the cassette. He lands flawlessly. Excited, the kid holding the camera stops recording and screams, I caught that on film! That kid was me. I ve always had a desire to capture people s moments. That is why I plan to use my production skills to assist people who believe that their moment has value. Creation is my passion. Whether it is editing, filming, directing, brainstorming or coordinating, I love video production. I put the client s needs first and use my creativity to design the product. This document highlights my desire to work in the video production industry. It includes my résumé, finest works and success stories. Kenton Filipowicz

They performed to a metronome during filming and I edited their movements to fit the music choice perfectly.
Success Stories A dance team needed a music video produced for their live performance. I filmed the dancers in multiple settings and edited their movements to match the rhythm. They also hired me to film the entire dance recital. By using three cameras and recruiting a cameraman, the project had high production quality. I was able to distribute over 50 copies of the recital to audience members and dancers. Each DVD had custom menus and scene selection. I am now the exclusive videographer for Lock Haven University Dance. Dancers performing to a live audience as my music video played behind them. In 2012, I filmed my first wedding. Weddings are once in a lifetime events, so capturing those moments artistically is critical. I was able to film with multiple cameras, edit six hours of footage into a 40 minute video, and deliver the final DVD s to the families. The clients received their video three days after the wedding and were thrilled with the end result. KF Videography now specializes in weddings and will be participating in multiple bridal shows in winter 2013. Marketing and branding the KF Videography name is an ongoing process. I ve created commercials, KFvideography.com, a business page on facebook, custom T-shirts, vinyl vehicle advertisements, flyers and much more to broadcast my service. KF Videography uses stateof-the-art editing software, brand new DSLR cameras, green screen and other high quality equipment to maintain a professional reputation. This sole proprietorship has broadened my knowledge of sales and law as well. Directly after the ceremony I had to speed to the reception hall to film their entrance. KF Videography business logo.
