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
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.

MY PROCESS
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.
