I AM BRIAN

My name is Brian Montgomery! I am 38 years old but I don't look it at all. I am married and we have 3 children all boys ages 15, 12 & 2. I grew up in Renton, WA and attended Hazen High School. I have taken classes at Bellevue Community College, Edmonds Community College, Seattle Central Community College and now I am actually doing really good at Lake Washington Institute of Technology. I am in the Multimedia Design and Production program learning a lot about Video and Web Production. From my very first editing class I really fell in love with the process of puting a video together. I am excited to be able to shoot my own documentaries and narratives and I hope to make a living with the skills I am learning here. I am in the right place at the right time. The instructors here have taught me so much in just over a year it has truly transformed my life. I have also learned a lot from my fellow students, I am really glad I have been able to work with and get to know some very talented individuals. This semester I am very excited to be taking Advanced Video Production, Digital Content Delivery and Motion Graphics. With these 3 classes under my belt I will really be ready to create some great looking video and deliver it where I want to. I have had countless jobs and I have started a few companies that all taught me a lot. A major problem I have always had in business especially as the internet has taken over is the need to hire video, graphic design or computer people. I have spent so much money as well has not had the money to create web sites, logos and shoot videos or still shots etc etc... All of the graphics people and computer people I had worked with and paid money too never did deliver what I was looking for. When we would say we want a coporate looking clean site we would usually get back moving rainbows, bells and whistles. It is very frustrating to not get that certain look and image you want for your company as you fly through these different computer people that someone suggested to you. There are times in my life that if I had just the skills I have learned in the past year at LWIT I would have been so much more successfull in that endeavor. Every single business needs to have a some kind of brand and project an image. In the Video and Web Production Program @ LWIT we are learning many different ways to accomplish that. I feel that what I am learning here will make me a one man wrecking crew. I am truly excited about my future and I am very much looking forward to applying all I have learned to begin creating a strong body of work in 2013.
