Onitsuka Tiger - TOKUTEN 

When coming up with inspiration for this spec ad for @onitsukatigerofficial , I tried to make an original concept that merged both my commercial film style, with my videographer portrait video style that was, my humble beginning. Incorporating some sort of story element with the video portrait style to create a commercial feel was a personal goal of mine since I started focusing on commercial work.

Hi Hello. I’m Soua. (“Shore” in a Jersey Accent)

I recently have gotten a decent amount of followers in a short period of time. It’s not a lot but I appreciate those who like my content and want to connect. 

Thought I’d make an updated introduction of myself. 

My name is soua and I am a Director and Videographer here in the Twin Cities area. I’ve been chasing the dream making videos a large part of my life and it’s been such a blessing. Meeting new people, connecting with fellow creatives, and allowing myself to express myself through video, unapologetically. 

Videos have been a part of my life since I was a wee child and it’s grown into a passion that I can proudly say has now become my career. I would have never thought that my janky actions videos I made in highschool would lead my down a path of making videos from my own passion and also creating for big brand and businesses. I have been truly blessed. 

To be honest, as much as I create for myself, I as an artist always have created things that I hope connect me as a person to the people who watch and support what I make. So as much as I create for me, I create for you. 

Ok now for some random fact. 

- Hmong asf and proud asf 
- I love spicy food
- lift weights and protein shakes 
- anime weeb since I was born. 
- when I listen to music, I listen to the melody more than lyrics 
- Porter Robinson’s music is the personification of how my mind sees the world. 
- I miss Japan 
- I’m 30 and my back hurts 
- I wanted to be a travel videographer for so long lol. 
- I am who I am, and I love who I am. I may not be perfect and I still work on the things that need work and healing. But I’m trying my best and I can only be the person I am now, while improving myself to be better. 

Thank you everyone who support me, and thank you for those who decided that I was cool enough to follow. I appreciate you all. 

And thanks to the Girlfriend for the photo: @shots.bykeira taken in teamLab Planets TOKYO / チームラボプラネッツ by @souafilms

Sound design is a step in your video process you should never look over. 

Never forget to add those sound bits and enhance your videos.

“Freedom of Air”

UNIQLO - AIRism 

Air is the element of freedom. To be untethered to the ground and feeling boundless. 

A spec piece for UNIQLO’s AIRism line. What I wanted to focus on was the feeling of air and the freedom feeling. Sound design was very important to this piece.

Sound design for Onitsuka Tiger 

The sound design breakdown for my Onitsuka Tiger Spec. One thing that I really wanted to do with this was to let the music be apart of the sound design and to feel seamless.

Two lenses I have used for shoots lately. 

Laowa 10mm f/2.8 - SOLID lens and probably my next purchase. I’m a huge wide angle shooter and using the is was almost like a dream. Amazing autofocus for such a wide lens and getting better perspectives of your shots. @laowa.cine 

Tamron 40-400mm f/4.5-6.3 - (I know I mislabeled it in the carousel lol) This is a phenomenal lens. I’ve truthfully never used a telephoto lens due to the fact that my work never needed it. But my buddy wanting his proposal filmed gave me the best opportunity to test it out! Don’t think I would cop but would forsure rent if I needed one. @tamronamericas

Creative Blocks Suck! 

It’s moments like these as creatives that feel soul draining. Wanting to create but having no inspiration, motivation, or creative energy to put something together. It’s normal. We all go through it. Just keep pushing. Your best work comes from random moments in life.

One of the biggest things that separates good content from memorable content is having a clear look and feel.

Before you ever pick up a camera, ask yourself one question: How do I want people to feel when they watch this? That answer will shape almost every creative decision you make, from your camera movement and pacing to your music and color grading.

Music plays a huge role in creating emotion. When your soundtrack supports your visuals, it reinforces the feeling and message you’re trying to communicate. Then your visuals bring it all together. Color grading, whether it’s warm, cool, soft, or dramatic, helps define the mood your audience experiences.

In this video, I’m using my own LUTs to create that look. I put together a free trial pack of LUTs and presets if you want to try them out for yourself.

Comment “Trial” and I’ll send you the download link in a DM.

Onitsuka Tiger Behind the scenes 

This has been a project that I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. The procrastination on this was honestly holding me back for awhile but getting this to finally come to fruition. 

Firstly, my team was amazing. @dystinee.k, as the model 
@sydney.welle with styling and @pawpaw_films with PA and BTS work. Thank you to you guys. 

Here are some moments of the shoot.

Wine - Nectar of the GODS 

8000 years of a fermented glass of god juice. 

I’ve been really exploring styles of filmmaking and ones that can be more informative yet also have a touch of a commercial feel. This is an experimental piece that I’ve wanted to try. 

Thanks to @smallhours_mpls for having me last year. Clips taken at Small Hours.

Unused footage from my inspo desk video. 

I guess one important thing you always have to know as a creative is when to cut certain things to make the final end product better. Maybe these could have made it? 🤷🏻‍♂️. Either way, I’m happy with the outcome.
