Key takeaways

- DEFCON’s background: DEFCON describes himself as a music producer, videographer, and visionary based in the Atlanta, GA area. He traces his technical curiosity back to taking apart electronics and learning technology, which led him into beat-making (starting around 2012) and then into video production (starting around 2017).

- Breakthrough moment: His first music video—shot and edited overnight for a friend—was transformational. Completing that edit convinced him he had a distinctive talent and set him on a path into filmmaking.

- Creative philosophy and role as a journalist: DEFCON sees himself as a kind of journalist—capturing real human stories and ensuring events are represented responsibly. He emphasizes the ethical weight of documenting people’s lives and the discretion required when material is sensitive or potentially harmful.

- Technical preferences and practical advice: Favorite camera is the Canon 1D X Mark III for hybrid, run-and-gun shooting; he recommends learning multiple camera ecosystems (Canon, Sony, RED) to stay versatile. He stresses lighting preparedness—“always bring a light”—and the importance of knowing both cutting and transitional techniques in editing.

- What’s hard vs. what’s misperceived: DEFCON says people underestimate the emotional responsibility and on-the-ground labor of capturing events—knowing when to record and when to stop to preserve dignity is crucial. He also discusses the challenge of balancing documentation with discretion.

- Future plans: DEFCON plans to unify his roles (videographer, producer, gamer) and increase IRL live streaming to capture more of his own narratives and work across platforms—while noting some material may be “too hot” for mainstream platforms.
