The story behind the Title: WATER in MOTION.... First off, I have a passion for capturing content in and around water. There's a beautiful, poetic way the light is reacting with the water and is constantly changing. You see this in my endless pursuit of finding just the right angle to capture a rainbow with the action. Second, my video editing style is to constantly have movement with each action or direction seamlessly leading into the next. To me, this keeps the viewer more engaged and is a challenge to do with the water, but I love this part of the puzzle in editing. Lastly, the ocean is never stagnant, it's always moving; hence water in motion.
