AUDIO, VIDEO, FILM, EVENT
Whether you need recording & mixing of a live show, operating a jib, boom, camera, or switcher, Technical Directing, or even just building a lighting truss… I’ve worn more hats than most haberdashers have sold. Check out my portfolio and for my “reel”… I have 4 profiles on IMDB.
AUDIO
My mission is to craft the highest quality story-telling for your brand. With over 30-years of nationally acclaimed and award-winning projects behind me, I am confident in my method and execution.
TELEVISION & VIDEO
The equivalent of filmmaking digitally in three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. Pre-production is the planning process before filming begins. Production captures the content. Post selectively combines everything into a finished product that tells a story or communicates a message in either a live event setting (live production), or after an event has occurred (post-production).
FEATURE FILM
Filmmaking involves a number of discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound recording and reproduction, editing, and takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves a large number of people, and can take from a few months to several years to complete.

Define
Usually, all I need is a vague discription or even a sketch on a cocktail napkin and I can hit the ground running.
Design
Once I have a complete idea or even just the core-concept, the initial straw-man is usually put together really fast.
BUILD
It’s all about the content! …and if I have everything I need, then the complete build happens in the wink of an eye!
REFINE
Time to clean, polish, put the shine on, then finish it off with extensive testing, a good buffing and BAM! …new website smell.

“Grant is the BEST! A seasoned professional with brilliant creativity. I knew exactly what I wanted, and what direction I wanted to go for my branding and advertising. Grant listened to the ideas and direction that I wanted to go and exceeded my expectations every time! I recommend Grant highly and I will definitely be hiring him for future projects.
You will not regret investing in Grant!“
Frank DiSalvo“I wholeheartedly endorse Grant for those who want to do things differently when it comes to design. He is both analytical and creative in his process and takes the time to genuinely understand the business or individual he is collaborating with. Grant does not do “off the shelf”. As a creative and positive person he is a wonder to work with, so it is not surprising he comes so highly recommended. I will remain a loyal client for many years to come.”
Rob MacDonald

We’d recommend Grant Garrison to anyone; you’re affordable enough for a startup and talented enough for a large company with deep pockets. Thanks Grant, for listening to our needs and going above and beyond contract.”
