Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was Director of Photography, Camera Operator and Post production supervisor for a 6 episode series and pilot. Most of the crew were interns and so there was a lot of teaching going on during production. It was a fun shoot with a great script and cast. I had to juggle a lot of moving parts for over a year from pre-production budgeting to final deliverables. It was a challenging and rewarding experience!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Ask questions and don't be afraid to give us feedback on what you want in a video. Every customer has a unique vision and we try very hard to exceed your expectations.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
How much time and effort goes into post-production? Shooting is only about 1/3 of my work. The rest of the "magic" is in post.
