Today we’d like to introduce you to Adrian Muckle.
Adrian, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
The way it all began is quite a story. It was back in the 8th grade of my middle school year when I received my very own Xbox 360. I was really big into Call of Duty and a thing called Trickshotting, where basically, a bunch of my online friends and I would go into a game and do something cool for the final kill. This turned into something I would do for many years until I graduated from high school. During that time period, that’s how I got into my craft as a Video Editor. I was collecting these clips, I was lucky enough to get and make Call of Duty montages, which allowed me to learn and be proficient in programs like Sony Vegas, Cinema 4D, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Being accepted into Florida Atlantic University for Engineering after high school, I kept my craft hidden and focused on other things like school work and other social activities. It wasn’t until my best friend Stephan Reese, who is also a Videographer and I were recruited into Allsnap Media, LLC which is an award-winning creative services company. Providing services like videography, photography, design, and more. Allsnap gave me the opportunity to pick up a camera and take my potential and knowledge of video editing and turn it into something much more alongside a group of individuals with the same passion and creative drive for their craft as well.
I am where I am today sincerely because of the numerous doors that opened up before me throughout the course of the years. Joining different organizations and taking on different challenges definitely helped bring me up to the person I am today and what I enjoy doing. I am grateful to be here and will always be willing to learn and improve.
Has it been a smooth road?
As an entrepreneur videographer, there is no smooth path on the road to success. Every day, there is always a new challenge or task that has to be tackled. One day, I can be handling a wedding, the next day I have to work on a music video, then the next day an event. My hands can definitely get filled with projects and why I am so grateful to be a part of a team, which can reduce a lot of the steps necessary on projects. It is definitely a rollercoaster ride, with many ups but as well as some downs. The struggle and challenge I faced during my uproar were understanding what I luxuriate in to shoot and edit. When I finally found my niche, I began to utilize my skillset in projects that aim to Music Videos and Event Recap videos.
I understand success will never come easy. There’s no proper or perfect moment to do what I want. Many factors can come in the way of my goal, so I work towards it and knock out the steps as soon as I can. A quote I like to live by is: “Today, I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what they can’t.” – Jerry Rice
So, as you know, we’re impressed with your business – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
As a videographer, I love being able to bring peoples vision to life. I specialize in video editing using Adobe Products like Premiere Pro and After Effects and adding unique effects into a project to make it exciting and eye-catching for the audience. People didn’t really understand what I did until I was featured and became the winner for Chance the Rappers “GROCERIES” Challenge for a video I produced with two friends of mine. The video ended up going viral and I didn’t even know it was an actual thing. I am most proud of the improvement I have made in my craft and how different it is from the typical talents that we are accustomed to seeing. I believe what sets me apart from others is my creative drive and willingness to continue to learn. Fun fact about me is I do not end my nights until I have learned a new technique or effect that I can use in a future project. When it comes to my work, I always have the mindset that anyone can come across it so I do my absolute best to turn a regular video into an “OH WOW” video. I want people to know that my work represents me as a person, and who I am and soon, I can be at a level Cole Bennett is at or higher.
What role has luck had in your life and business?
I believe luck plays a role in my life and business good and bad. It’s just the way of life, I believe things happen for a reason if you do good you shall receive good and same vice versa. When an opportunity is granted to someone, the person who is willing to take it is more likely to be more lucky rather than the one who is afraid. Sometimes, you have to take risks in life as long as it’s a wise decision.
