Description

I am college educated, clock like reliable and beaming with confidence and positivity. I possess a thorough understanding of composition and multiple stylistic formats of shooting (Branding, Commercial, Docuseries/Follow, Episodic, ENG Run & Gun, Verite, Broadcast, Interview, Corporate, Conference, Film, Sports, Event, Surgical, Lab, etc). Included in my bag of tricks are directing talent, camera ops and crew, multiple lighting configurations and mood setups, audio setups, blocking, scripting writing and set dressing.

I understand compelling narrative and story arcs - Stasis/Trigger/The Quest/Surprise/Critical Choice/Climax/Reversal/Resolution. So I can turn into a story shoot'n beast and film an entire scene, single camera, while simultaneously getting cutaways and all while NOT interrupting the scene. Proper coverage for an editor in TV/film land. Or I can see the big picture-final product and rain-man zero in on highly stylized content branding for marketing and advertising agencies.

I am a solid, engaging and artistic DP who understands that content is organic. It grows and thrives in the creative environment. This is not just a job for me, but rather a passionate career where I plan on spending the rest of my working life. Being a polished editor with 4 editing bays, I firmly believe that editors make better directors of photography, and vice versa. Editing is where the real magic happens. And to get SyFy Supernatural, I'm a hybrid. [Heavily back-lit and slowly standing upright with claw hands extending downward by side - cue creepy cool music].
