Who I Am
Jonathan A. Moon
My name is Jonathan Moon. I am a senior at Southern Methodist University majoring in Cinema-Television. I grew up in Carrollton, Texas and I continue to go to my home church – Bent Tree Bible Fellowship. I love working anywhere in audio, video, or photography.
Ever since I was a young child, I have always enjoyed technology and “pushing every button I could find.” At the age of fourteen, I started to realize my passion for media. I began observing a guy mix sound for our church services at Bent Tree. From then on, it developed into me learning to mix sound for recordings, monitors, and eventually for front-of-house.
Bent Tree has become my favorite place to grow in the Lord, in my gifts and in my abilities. It is about a 5,000+ member church and growing rapidly. Through my interest in audio, I developed relationships with the video production staff and got interested in video and photography. After I graduated from high school I had a clear understanding of what wanted to study.
After starting Southern Methodist University, I have had incredible opportunities to develop my skills in media. I was an Intern at Igniter Media in Dallas for two years– a company that produces church media resources. I am currently a Student Technology Assistant at SMU, which means I help professors with media and technology related projects. I am also the Apple Campus Rep for SMU, which means I promote Apple products and the Mac platform at every opportunity. I was recently reelected as an SMU Senator and also am the Webmaster for the Student Government’s web site.
I love working with computers, and have worked on a variety of programs. I am proficient in Final Cut ProHD, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign, MediaShout, all of iLife, and all of Microsoft Office. I am experienced in Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, Flash, and Dreamweaver.
Currently, I am enjoying my very last semester of college and working part-time at Bent Tree as the Worship & Arts Intern. I have very little spare time, but love every minute of work on all my jobs. I have a great passion for media and what the Lord can do through it. My dream job is to be a Producer for TV and/or films. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for my future!
