From YouTube: Artist Interview: Scott Rowland
Description
Realizing that his video editing skills can be of service to the creative community, Scott is working on a project to help musicians record, edit, and share live stream performances. The project will help the music community thrive in the time of physical distancing. Creative Neighborhoods: COVID-19 Work Projects was launched by the Office of Arts + Culture and Create Boulder: https://boulderarts.org/public-art/creative-neighborhoods/covid-19-work-projects/
A
My
name
is
scott
roland,
primarily
I'm
a
video
editor,
but
I
also
work
as
a
photographer,
a
motion,
graphics,
designer
or
dp.
Whenever
it
all
makes
sense.
I
own
a
video
production
company
based
in
boulder
called
aloc.
Media
stands
for
life
of
choice.
We
provide
professional,
cost-effective
video
and
photo
solutions
for
artists,
brands
and
businesses.
A
Covet
19
has
drastically
affected
my
life,
both
personally
and
professionally.
When
who
first
declared
this
a
pandemic,
all
of
my
financial
opportunities
went
out
the
window
I
within
a
week.
I
had
no
idea
what
I
was
going
to
do.
My
career
felt
like
it
was
on
the
rocks.
A
I
just
wanted
to
get
out
there
and
be
of
service
to
the
community,
and
you
know
help
the
people
that
I've
been
working
with
and
you
know
find
a
way
to
support
what's
going
on,
but
shortly
after
that
announcement,
one
of
my
roommates
got
sick
and
then
my
girlfriend
and
then
myself
and
we
remain
hopeful
that
it
wasn't
covered
19.
We
it
was.
It
was
mild
for
us,
but
on
april
19th
we're
sitting
in
the
kitchen
and
realized
that
none
of
us
could
smell
the
onions
that
were
being
cut
up.
A
A
I
was
sick
for
almost
a
month.
It
was
up
and
down
some
days
much
worse
than
others.
I
wouldn't
hope
that
anyone
would
get
sick
and-
and
please
like
do
your
best
to
stay
safe
if
you
do
get
sick
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
day,
we
put
this
all
behind
us.
A
A
So
it
made
sense
to
me
to
find
a
way
to
help
both
of
those
demographics
and
basically,
how
musical
artists
are
connecting
with
their
followers
right
now
is
through
live
streams.
A
Look
good
so
people
are
using
their
cell
phones
or
very
cheap
camera
equipment,
and
while
I
can't
go
and
see
them
in
person
and
film,
it
myself,
I
can
at
least
make
what
they
have
look
as
good
as
possible,
and
then
the
closing
title
will
have
information
again
about
who
they
are
and
then
how
to
financially
support
these
artists,
either
through
venmo
or
paypal
or
cash
app
or
whatever
they're
using
yeah
and
a
couple
events
that
I've
been
part
of
so
far
are
a
rise
online
gathering,
which
happened
on
may
2nd,
there's
a
rocky
mountain,
virtual
music
festival
that
happens
every
friday
from
10
a.m,
to
10
p.m.
A
Really
all
I
want
to
say
in
conclusion
is
I
want
to
give
a
big
thank
you
to
the
boulder
county
office
of
arts
and
culture
for
putting
on
this
grant.
I
want
to
thank
crete
boulder
for
funding
it,
and
I
want
to
say
to
the
struggling
artists
out
there
that
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
over
eventually
to
stay.
Strong
life
will
get
better,
keep
practicing
your
craft
and
for
like
what
I'm
doing
right
now
is
I'm
trying
to
reinvent
myself
as
we
start
to
reintegrate.
