AJ Kret
Aerial Filmmaking, Video, and Photography
AJ Kret is a creative currently based in Vermont. Primarily making videos in an attempt to remember his travels, creating became the escape to his memory. Initially, AJ taught himself how to edit videos through YouTube in high school. After one year as a film major at Drexel University, he transferred to Champlain College to complete a BFA in Creative Media.
AJ strives to replicate his experiences within his films using aerial cinematography, videography, and photography. Throughout his experience, he has encountered vast media works, interactive design, and visual art. As a hands-on learner, AJ thrives behind the camera and is determined to learn the ins and outs of each tool he uses. Employing the skills he has acquired, AJ has been able to display his work in both LA and VT.
"Building and flying drones is my passion, allowing me to explore places that could not be otherwise accessed. Being on the field is where I bring my energy to the table; the viewfinder is my comfort zone.
I believe that subjectivity is what fabricates creation. Through the observation of my surroundings, I notice that the parallels we share are not detailed memories. Instead, the simplicity of sensation is what brings us together. In the experience of anticipation, movement, and flight- all thought is lost. In my work, I desire to emulate these feelings and sensations, maybe allowing my viewer to get lost as well.
Encountering the finer things in life is what gives me joy. Making art that reflects that is what motivates me."
