About Liam Stephen

My name is Liam Stephen and I am a passionate film student from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. After becoming a cinema junkie at age 13, my passion for the screen grew above every other area of my life. I began playing around with an old semi-DSLR Canon camera until age 15 when I purchased my first ever Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. It was around this time that I began a YouTube channel (Leo's Life) of which I have produced almost 100 videos on. Before this I had also owned and maintained another YouTube channel (LeoDaTurtle) focused on gaming content which has amassed 448 Subscribers with over 140 videos recorded, edited and published by myself. It was through these outlets that I was able to learn skills in DSLR camera operation, video editing on software such as Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Pro, iMovie and Adobe Premiere as well as basic photo editing in Photoshop and iPhoto. Through these years I was driven not my monetary success but by pure enjoyment and passion for the creation of my content. In 2017 I upgraded to the Sony A7 camera which has served me for the last 3 years. During this time I began experimenting with Photography which took over my Instagram page (@leo5456). I have an intense passion for filmmaking and am an absolute film buff not only watching but always analysing the films i watch. In the last 2.5 years I have clocked in over 550 movies that I have watched. I excelled in Media Studies in senior school ranking in within the top 3 students of the class for my productions. As a senior in High School I was almost always the first point of contact for volunteer film work at school like the school musical. In December of 2017 I went on a school trip to USA becoming the unofficial camera boy for the trip creating a daily Vlog series of the trip. In the last 3 years I have landed work experience at 3 different companies working within the media industries. At this point I am focusing on getting my degree so that I am ready to get out into the industry.
