Caiden Kirkendoll, 8, is a videographer and an editor on Swarm Productions. Kirkendoll wanted to join the staff for a few reasons.

 

“I was on the robotics team for two years, and it got hard in the second year. I wanted to do something different,” Kirkendoll said.

 

Kirkendoll’s interest in videography started from watching creators online.

 

“People using their cameras for ads, and going deep down into every single detail, really brought me into it. Also people making really cool photos and videos did as well,” Kirkendoll said.

 

Kirkendoll has many hobbies that keep him busy after school.

 

“My hobbies are playing video games, going outside, riding my bike, and running. I watch YouTube, and talk to my friends as well,” Kirkendoll said.

 

Kirkendoll’s dad has a huge influence in his life, “He’s really nice and all that. He helps out with my attitude and makes sure I am doing the right stuff,”Kirkendoll said.

 

Kirkendoll had a couple main values that are extremely important to him.

 

“Respect and empathy. Empathy in 5th grade really hit me. I saw my friends struggling in school, and I would help them out in school and give them advice about what they shouldn’t do,” Kirkendoll said.
