Your Lead Instructor
My name is Martin Vo, I have breathed and lived the art of storytelling since I was accepted to the art academy at the age of four, the youngest artist at the time. I created stories through vibrant oil paintings on canvas with an artistic touch. In seven years of college, photography, and filmmaking allowed me to tell a greater story, the love story of two people. Stories can pass from generation to generation, and be relived through album photos and videos. My goal is to pass on your story to your family, your kids, and future generations. I believe I can capture this through filmmaking and photography to seal your memories so that they can be remembered forever. I believe that storytelling is extremely powerful and this is why I want to tell yours.
Martin Vo
Continuing upwards in his career as creative director, He graduated from California State University, Sacramento with seven different degrees, including a Bachelor of Art in Photography and Cinematography Studio Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design, branding, and marketing focus.
Through dedication and hard work, he became the youngest creative director of Studio 316. Eventually, this led to him opening his own Studio for photography and video productions. He would then go and receive the number one best artist award from the local Sacramento TV Station KCRA3 as their A-list Filmmaker. He also placed second place in the creative division for the Wedding and Portrait Photography International (WPPI).
Martin has the education and experience to produce products that would exceed the client’s vision. Martin continues to acquire more knowledge of new technology that will bring forth new skills and styles to the products we offer. Martin gained recognition and status to become currently a Creative Director and Director of Photography at CineCrown Studio.
