By


Stage Voice: Good evening, Adeyinka. It is so nice to have you here.

Adeyinka Ojo: Thank you so much, I feel honored😊.

Stage Voice: Can you please introduce yourself?

Adeyinka Ojo: My name is Adeyinka Ojo, I'm a student from the department of Dramatic Arts of Obafemi Awolowo University. Currently. 300 level.

Stage Voice: So Adeyinka tell us a bit about your business? What brings the bread to the table? Just an insight into your work.

Adeyinka Ojo: I'm a cinematographer and a video editor. I have some other form of skills pertaining to arts that I'm really very good at, but these are the two skills currently bringing bread to the table for me. Cinematography and video editing are beyond capturing and manipulations of moments in moving images, they breath life into narrative.

Adeyinka Ojo: It's one of the reasons I love doing them a lot. I feel like a god when ever I'm editing or capturing a moment, like I'm the one in charge.

Stage Voice: Yesss!

Stage Voice: TG Omori in the building !!!!

Adeyinka Ojo: Oh wow, we'll get there and go beyond. I promise the world that.😊

Stage Voice: That is very nice.

Stage Voice: You must surely have a few people you look up to in this industry

Stage Voice: Can you name a few?

Adeyinka Ojo: Yeah, Kunle Afolayan, Niyi Akinmolayan, Tope Oshin, Jade Osiberu, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, Aunty Funke Akindele and many more, including some actors.

Stage Voice: Those are really inspiring people.

Stage Voice: A few of mine are on the list.

Stage Voice: Another question. What inspired you to go into cinematography and video editing in the first place?

Adeyinka Ojo: Well, I've always wanted to be a star actor since I was young, so at some point I feel it would make more sense and would be much easier to get noticed in the industry when I make my own movies and star in it. So I decided to venture on a journey of learning the art of filmmaking. That was what brought me to what I currently do now and I realized at some point that I could even make money with the skill now aside using the skill to make my own movies.

Stage Voice: You are the S in spontaneity so I have heard. You are an excellent actor,dancer,singer and a cinematographer . So everyone has been wondering, what do you plan on majoring in when you get to Part 4?

Adeyinka Ojo: Media, that would be major when I get to 400 level

Stage Voice: Well there is no surprise there.

Stage Voice: You have been at this job for a while ,Can you tell us a bit about your experience?l

Adeyinka Ojo: Well, there had been a lot of challenges all the way, crazy clients, at times equipments would start malfunctioning on set and you wouldn't even know what to do. Weather could be a big challenge at times when you're shooting outdoor. There had been times we had to spend double of the budget because of one or more of this aforementioned. But I never regret for once that I'm doing this cuz it's really something I love and you know that feeling when you have the final results and you have the client shouting your name all over with so much accolade coupled with the fact that you now have some huge figures breathing in your bank account as well. ‎

Stage Voice: Yes.The huge figures😜😜

Stage Voice: It makes it all worth it.

Adeyinka Ojo: You get, the huge figures.😊😊😊

Stage Voice: Can I ask the range of your highest pay? Because I might join you in this business if I’m motivated enough.

Adeyinka Ojo: Well I won't like to disclose the actual range. But I've earned in 6 figures

Stage Voice: Let the poor breaaatheeeee.

Stage Voice: You are motivating me oooo.

Adeyinka Ojo: The poor must breathe.

Stage Voice: What word of advice would you give people like me aspiring to go into media ?

Adeyinka Ojo: Love it first, be so much passionate about it, get yourself obsessed with it. This would aid a speedy growth for you and that way you would get noticed when you're so good at what you do. Then the money will start chasing you and you wouldn't have to chase it.

Stage Voice: Words of a wise man.

Adeyinka Ojo: I be common person o wise ke.

Stage Voice: My last question

Stage Voice: If you had a girlfriend that says you should leave your business and will keep taking care of you, will you leave it?

Adeyinka Ojo: In one word, my work is one of the things that make up my passion and my passion is my passion is my first love. So to my future girlfriend if she'd be seeing this, we both must fall in love with this.

Adeyinka Ojo: It's really one of the top factors that gives me joy

Stage Voice: That’s an insightful response.

Stage Voice: Thank you so much for your time.

Stage Voice: It was nice having you here.

Stage Voice: That will be the end of our interview.

Adeyinka Ojo: Yeah, thank you for having me here.

Adeyinka Ojo: I'm greatly honored.

Stage Voice : What was your best part of the initiation process? Janet : The overnights 🥰🥰🥰.

Having rehearsals overnight was my best part of the initiation process because it es...
