Solomon Shields comes out of the shadows

Trying to live in the shadow of such Olathe Northwest greats as Willie Cauley-Stein and Shavon Shields can be tough for the youngest son of NFL hall of famer and Chiefs great, Will Shields. Yet Solomon Shields has found his way.

Solomon joined e-Comm in his Freshman year and started off in the e-9 program like everyone else. Going in Shields knew a lot about the school because of his older brothers but hardly knew anything about the e-Comm program.

"I just really liked the idea of (e-Comm) and having what was in my head be able to make videos."

Shields has grown through the program well and along with video he really like graphic design not only because of it's diversity but the limitless possibilities.

"I really like Entertainment because there is no limit to it."

Shields' videos reflect his personality within e-Comm. He loves the comedies that have stupid humor like Anchorman and Hot Rod. Shields tries to recreate these comedies and kinda out there comedies.

For example, one his comedies is "Everyday is like Christmas to me," his Christmas rap music video he created with Logan Cantino. 

Shields also created a parody of well known movies with Cantino that won his class competition.

After high school, Shields plans to move to Colorado where he can further learn about film and try to work his way up in the industry.

"Hopefully next year I will do my own short film comedy that hopefully if everything falls into place will be kinda cool."
