3. King And Lionheart - Monsters And Men
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A76a_LNIYwE Keeping to the same animated styling of "Little Talks", the video for "King and Lionheart" opens up on a war stricken land, focusing on a young girl and and a young boy, sister and brother, who are being taken away from each other in chains and cages. With the help of two spirit like entities, the two are able to escape their captors who frantically chase after them. Through the pursuit we see them travel through the destruction of cities. The sister is unable to get to the flying vessel in time that her spirit was trying to lead her to. We see her brother crying as he is taken up to the air while his sister still runs from her captors. The video ends openly and we are unaware if the two reach safety. Although made to appear unfamiliar with interestingly dressed characters, and strange dark settings, the video is depicting terrible instances that happen everyday in real life due to war. This video is another great example of the consequences of violence, homes are destroyed, and families are broken apart.

Art is expression, with any possible form of media you can think of. Throughout my life I have experimented with many creative outlets such as music, writing, painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, and film.
Recently I have grown to love the art of film. It is a great way to get my creativity working in fantastic ways. I am now working on getting a degree in Communications with a minor in Creative Writing. I will be graduating from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2014 and hope to pursue a masters in film down the road.
I have currently started working as a video/audio assistant and technician at my University. I also freelance write, produce and edit stories, poetry, and video.
I hope that someday I can produce my own films and work on documentaries focusing on nature and destinations.
Life is too short to stop and think. Act, see, and experience the world and it's beauties. There's no better way to do that than seeing it first hand, then reminding yourself later of what awesome things you've seen, by looking through your camera or expressing it in a story.
