I've been working on an ongoing photography series about inventors and their inspirations, accomplishments, and setbacks. I recently decided to add a video component to the project, putting together a short film about each inventor I shoot. This is my first video for the project. (More inventors in the series can be seen at dfpblog.com/inventors)

I'm brand new to shooting and editing video, so I'm still learning a lot as I go. Editing this piece, I realized there were other shots I should have gotten, questions I should have asked, lights I should have brought, microphone I should have used, etc. I think it's a decent first video. The next one will be better!
