It was at his Aunt and Uncle's wedding in 2007, that he saw a camera for the first time. Since that day, Brandon would always film videos of his family with their canny camera. Soon he would go on to film short skits with his action figures in the middle of the night, then he'll start filming short films with his plush toys. During primary school years, he would stay up every night going through the DVD's of the films that he had, and even write small stories in his many diaries.

 

Brandon would always be watching YouTube videos, wondering how they were made. In 2018, Brandon started creative media studies at secondary school, which is where he would first be introduced to Premiere Pro, editing, and filmmaking. After school abruptly finished due to the pandemic, Brandon created a YouTube channel, and used his editing knowledge to create two YouTube skit videos using Adobe Premiere Rush on his iPad. His family then gifted him a DSLR camera, tripod, and the Adobe Creative cloud, so Brandon could pursue creating YouTube sketches. Each video he made was better than the last, and Brandon soon experimented with different video types such as reactions, gaming videos and streaming. The YouTube video is called 'Brand' and has over 100 videos. Brandon also has a vlog channel called 'bdog'.

 

Brandon decided for higher education that he wanted to pursue his passion in video creating, and was enrolled into Chelmsford College to a Film and TV Creative Arts course. At the end of the 2 years he spent here, Brandon made his final short film Kinets ('End' in Ukrainian), which follows a scavenger years after the Russia-Ukraine war. Brandon achieved a distinction and was awarded an extended diploma.

 

Before Brandon left college, a film school by the name of 'Met Film' from London, reached out to his college, and gave the students a challenge; to create a 2 minute short film. Brandon's group made a short film about a red balloon that would chase one of the students. Brandon's group won the challenge, and Brandon would soon devote his interest into Met Film.

 

With Brandon now interested into filmmaking, Brandon got accepted into Met Film school, where he would learn every aspect of filmmaking, as well as making friends and collaboration partners that he would have for the rest of his life. Brandon would specialise in editing and post-production, editing 8 projects during the two years he was at film school. Brandon's commitment to heavy workload would show when tutors would advise students not to edit more than one project. Brandon would disobey this rule on purpose, and would leave the tutors amazed, how he could deliver such quality edits, whilst being under immense pressure.

 

For his graduation project, Brandon would go on to edit the short film Kotoba No Pazuru, directed by Singaporean filmmaker Cheng Chieh Chang, about a rejected piano student finding solace and gratitude with a hotel owner who'd lost his son. Brandon would earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Practical Filmmaking, but would go on to pursue his passion in editing, with the end goal of one day becoming globally-acclaimed film director.
