Why I Love Star Wars - Scott James Reeves

-

Ok...

I was raised with the first OT vhs box set (pre-extended version) and then saw the prequels in theaters as an adult. Both trilogies were a part of my childhood and early adult life that never went away.

As I've gotten older, I realize that I love it for more than the action or sci-fi. It's how romantic and gripping it can be. IMO, the more operatic a SW thing is, the more I love it. That goes for humor and cheesy stuff as well.

I love the idea of science fantasy. Others have tried it but their world always seems too much one or the other. But that's also a problem with Star Wars. Imo most writers minimize the fantasy aspect and focus on the science fiction aspect. It's led many people to believe Jedi have a drop down menu of Force powers they can use, and the spirituality aspect of the Force is largely ignored.

You know I'm a Star Wars fan because I was asked what I like and proceeded to drop my grievances. Green light sabers are cool. Warrior monks traveling amongst the stars to help people in need is cool. People living in vastly different conditions across the galaxy is cool. Space battles are cool. Star Wars has them all.

Star Wars combines all the stories and themes I grew up with. Good vs evil, magic, wizards, swords, monsters. It's familiar.

About My Profession - Scott James Reeves

Howdy ho!  My journey into audio engineering began the first time I watched Star Wars as a kid. The unforgettable sound effects, the hum of lightsabers, and the immersive world-building sparked something in me that never faded.  For over 20 years, l've been passionate about crafting sound that transforms visuals into experiences. Audio isn't just technical-it's emotional, atmospheric, and powerful.  I'm grateful to have built a career around that passion and look forward to continuing to shape sound in film and media for years to come.

Best Beginner Camera For Portrait Photography, Which is the Best? - Scott James Reeves

Here’s the deal. Don’t worry about what kind/style of camera that will produce a good portrait shot. Worry more with settings and composition with your current camera. Don’t have one? Use your phone. You should have manual/pro settings. Explore them. See what certain ones do and how they interact with others. Then read about/watch videos about composition. Play with the settings. Don’t be in a hurry. Try b/w and color. Take your time and have fun. I use a rebelT1 and nifty 50. Very cheap and works fine. I am no pro and don’t get paid. I guess if I had made lots of money I’d have those red stripe lenses and 10k cameras. Don’t need it for personal pics.   You'll get your best portrait photos by shooting constantly and knowing how to compose an image. If your layout is strong and you shoot a lot you'll get WAY more great pictures of people than people with crazy expensive gear, lights, and aesthetically blessed subjects. The big bonus thing I can tell you outside of that is to jus...
