If you've never had the oppurtunity of knowing one of those creative, in there own spirits type of people I erge you to check out media designer S.Pelt! He shoots shum of the Most Rad, visuals to date. The Arkansas native, Alabama raised current NYC resident brings out the Dopeness in creative visuals. Not only have I had the pleasure of working with him, he also took time out to anwser a few questions for me.

What exactly is it that you do?
S.Pelt:
I like to call myself a media designer. I offer design through multiple mediums of media. Ha. Also offering marketing and branding
Where are you from?
S.Pelt:
I was born in Arkansas but Alabama raised me.
How long have you been directing?
S.Pelt: 2009
Why did you decide to get into directing? Was there someone who inspired you to get into directing?
S.Pelt: I honestly got into it all out of necessity. My brother who is an artist in the Huntsville hip hop community (shouts Dizzy D) was in a group that was lacking some type of visual marketing and at the time I had an opportunity to do more to help. Around that same time I had a conversation with the manager of a well known and respected group from Huntsville and he put me on the idea of DIY (Do It Yourself). I credit that shift in thought with really putting me on the path to where I am now. Moving to New York City feed into my "drive to basket mentality" perfectly. I guess the artist came out that I didn't even know was there. Haha.
What advice do you have or what would you say to someone who wants to get into directing?
S.Pelt: Sacrifice! You're gonna have to sacrifice some of the things in life that you enjoy to be successful. Especially if you don't have any higher education in the field you're pursuing, but then that makes it all a double edge sword because why are you living if you not living?! Right? Eternal, internal struggle mane smh...
Have you ever encountered someone who had absolutely no talent? And did you have to break it to them?
S.Pelt: I guess we were all given some kinda mutant powers. So I guess it would be a matter of talented in what? I can say I enjoy working with anybody of any skill level who has a vision and is willing to work hard.
What is your philosophy on the profession of filming?
S.Pelt: Always implement what you've learned from previous projects and apply it to the next project. Growth.
What do you enjoy doing when your not working?
S.Pelt: Ha that's a loaded question! I'm always working on something! But when I do get a chance to shake loose, I live in NYC so I'm either trying to find a pretty girl or grabbing some good food.
Name shum artist you have worked with that have gone on or are becoming very successful.
S.Pelt: Luckily I've had the opportunity to work on the ground floor of a few artist careers so we'll see.
How do you come up shum of your visuals and concepts?
S.Pelt: I usually elevate and then marinate on an artist music or the profile of whomever I'm working with. I really try to create something that gives a personal connection to the client.
What are your future plans? Where do you see yourself in a year or two?
S.Pelt: I just wanna continue to build and grow as a person and professional without giving myself away. In 2 years I definitely see myself as a recognizable brand in my field and the movement.
What's your motto on life?
S.Pelt: Transition through life with a bold new approach....s.pelt
