How did it all start?
I stared at the telly for quite a long time and I liked what I saw. Then, I'd describe them as flashy things because I had no exact words for them. But through the years, my curiosity led me to explore, find and do something. All I had was a china phone that was barely close to anything relating to visual effects. I looked at that phone in pity but used it anyway to create what people call lens flare. We had one of those plastic touches that did not cost a dime. I turned the torch on and pointed the light to the china phone and it gave me nice sparkling results. To create a film theme of smoke pouring in and out of the transiting texts, I brought a steel cup and filled it with really cold water until the base of the cup sent forth the smoke I wanted. I picked up a circular plastic cover that had rainbow colors on it, positioned it on my hand and made the phone's camera look at my hand through the cover and it looked as though my hand was emitting some magical powers. At nights, I'd light the candle in the passage way and capture the fire in my phone, Later, I started making people disappear in my phone by first capturing the background with the person in it and the next shot, without the person. I knew I wanted to do great things in Nollywood and Africa in general. When I learnt of softwares like After Effects, Cinema4D, Realflow, Zbrush, Photoshop, etc, never have I ever rested. I am not too rich to afford schools like Newyork Film Academy. I am not a professional in the fields I want to master but with a place like this, CineAfrica, we can get to learn from each other and better ourselves. Thanks for believing in me.
