ABOUT ANNIE CURREY

I was eight years old when I got my first video camera. It was a small white Panasonic, and the second my dad placed it in my hands, I knew this was it. My reason.I filmed everything. Toys and family members. Christmas tree trimmings and birthday parties. But mostly, I made movies. First, they involved dolls. I would find ways to make them move without seeing my hand, engineering plots in my head that made little sense to anyone but me. But I was eight, and the fun was in the playing.In my tweens, I graduated from dolls to legos, discovering the magic of stop motion. For hours on end, my sister and I moved the little figurines one frame at a time. We then posted the end products on our Youtube channel with its thirteen subscribers, feeling that sense of accomplishment that comes with pressing the upload button.When I was fourteen and had grown out of toys, I started asking my friends to star in my productions. Enhanced with cheesy green screen effects and dramatic royalty-free music, I edited my friends into weather forecasts, Jurassic jungles, or apocalyptic cities. iMovie had everything I needed to create anything—the opportunities were endless.And now, although I use fewer effects (and even fewer toys), the love I’ve always had for videography remains, and has even broadened to a love of anything media. I like to think that the child-like perspective that started everything has not left me, and will continue to influence my work.Clifton strengths: Empathy, Includer, Woo, Positivity, Consistency
