FINAL PROJECT: #TRiiBENATiiON Story Board
My story board for my commercial is basically zooming in and out of shots of my merchandise. The logo is the main focus of every shot as seen above in the stills.

FINAL PROJECT: BASIC EDITS
WHEN I BEGAN TO EDIT THE FOOTAGE THAT I HAD, THERE WAS NO REAL THEME TO HOW I ORDERED THE SHOTS. I PLACED THEM PRETTY MUCH IN THE ORDER THAT I SHOT THEM..... I KNEW THAT I DIDNT WANT THE ORIGINAL AUDIO, BUT I COULDNT DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT SONG I WANTED TO PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE VIDEO. #TRIIBENATION STRUCK AGAIN!!!! I REMEMBERED OF OF MY FAVORITE HIP-HOP GROUPS FROM THE EARLY 90'S!!!! A TRIIBE CALLED QUEST.... NEXT I HAD TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHICH TRACK OF THEIRS I WOULD USE!!!
FINAL PROJECT: ROUGH FOOTAGE
These are stills of some of my first couple shots i recorded for my commercial. I made sure that my logo was as visible as possible because that's the purpose of the commercial, for PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES!
Let's Make a Movie!
I'm not really making a movie, although that would be real cool. For my final project it took a while to come up with an actual focus or topic to shoot. At first I was really inspired by a photographer/ short film maker named CJ Something and wanted to make a video similar to his. I liked the black and white footage and the focus on certain things. But when it actually came down to it the video doesn't have any real content. THEN IT DAWNED ON ME.... TRIIBE NATIION!!!! LET'S MAKE A PROMOTIONAL VIDEO FOR SOME OF OUR FIRST ITEMS!!!! And thats what i planned to do and began to take the necessary steps to get the footage i need to make the commercial.
This is the vieo by CJ Something that inspired me at first.

SPiiDER-MONKEY!!! (Composition Print)
This is the composition that I printed. It took a couple tries to get the coloring that i wanted correct but it worked out eventually..........
YOU DONT KNOW ME?! (Brief Bio)
Me?! Me! Me I'm Bola! Yes Bola Okoya, graduating senior criminology major at The College of New Jersey. Feel like i've been in school forever! I graduated the top of my class at Trenton Central High School not too far from here. Up until coming here to TCNJ I had no knowledge of some of the programs that i use now on a regular basis. Things like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Final Cut pro were all foreign to me.With my curiosity i ran wild using photoshop and can say the i am pretty decent being that i taught myself almost everything! it wasn't until this semster that i really got into using Illustrator and FInal Cut Pro, which both still give me headaches trying to figure out. I've always had an "artisitic" side to me, ranging from, drawing, to graffiti, all the way to fashion. So I would say that i get my inspiration from street art mostly, usually most of the art work that i produce has some sense of graffiti or street art to it. I love that art form. ITS SO RAW and HARDCORE. that i notice it everywhere.I that at transformed it into alot of what i do now, which mostly has to do which fashion and clothing. I owned my own custom design company "PRIMO DESIGNS" since my freshman year, and i still take orders and fulfill request from time to time. More recently my brother and I have formed what is known as "TRIIBE NATIION" a new fashion line that we see going very far and getting a lot of buzz in the tri-state and hopefully further out. I personally created the logo using Illustrator and Photoshop! I usually spend my time hanging out or doing one of the above things, Primo Designs, Triibe Nation and something related to clothing or fashion. Yep thats me... ME!!!
