Mariah Ward – Spring Reel 2014 from Mariah Ward on Vimeo.
1. What do you do and where do you do it?
I am a director, videographer, Motionographer (Motion Graphics), and Independent Marketing Consultant from Columbus Ohio.
2. Who/What are your biggest influences?
My family and friends are my biggest influence. Since I was little I was surrounded by creativity. My mom did little illustrations with numbers, my uncle does wood carvings, another uncle loves to do interior design, and my whole family that loves to sing. I always knew I wanted to do something pertaining to the arts. When I was accepted into S.C.P.A (School for Creative and Performing Arts), my life changed. I was apart of this major art movement and I didn’t realize it until I graduated! Because of all of that I would not be in Columbus surrounded by more creativity! Columbus is filled with people that are constantly pushing themselves to be great. I am lucky to be apart of it.
3. What does the term Creative Control mean to you?
To me, creative control means being the driver of your dreams. Everything you do is solely up to you. There are people that will try to push you away from your creative style so they can get ahead, but you have to be in control of your dreams. Once you have control of what you want everything else will follow.
