My name is Matt Oliphant and I love film and photography. I'm a small business owner of "Indie Elephant Productions", which provides photography and filmmaking. This blog is for those who love film and photography as much as I do! I'll be posting updates on equipment and provide reviews along with ideas that I find work in the film and photography world.

More About Indie Elephant Productions
Indie Elephant Productions is a small business that started from a freelance class at Valley Forge Christian College. At first I didn't think much of it, except that it was fun to pretend I was a major media company. However, the more I got involved with the branding and business side of the class work, the more I really enjoyed the thought of really owning a business. I bought the rights to the name and began taking pictures for free to boost my portfolio and to practice starting a small business.
This year I was fortunate enough to film my first wedding, which is my real passion. Once I graduate I'd love to be a film director that creates positives films, that can make a real difference in this world. In reality, I see myself working in a church producing media and providing videos for sermons and illustrations. What's exciting for me is that I have found something that I love! And what is better to do for a living than something you love doing? I really want to encourage you that if you have a passion or dream go after it! I truly believe that God gives us passions and dreams for a reason. We have these thoughts to motivate and look towards. Am I where I want to be at? No. But I know I'm moving in the right direction. Just Keep at it! Proverbs 16:3 states, "Commit to the Lord, whatever you do and you will succeed." This is my life verse. Committing to God with all that I do and in the end I'll be successful. Not only in my eyes, but in God's eyes and what's better than that?
