David Estrin

I was the Director of Photography and filmed Thom McElroy at the Volcom HQ in Costa Mesa. We covered how students can find their purpose, and I helped capture and share Thom's story.

I was the DP and I created the shot list with the Director, and we filmed with a two camera set up to capture action and reaction shots as they unfolded. This promotional video showcased the culture, the food, and the community in San Diego Little Saigon. It was a mix of talking heads and creative b-roll documentary style footage.

My role was the production assistant for the camera department. I assisted three 1st AC's, and three Camera Operators. I also kept the battery charging station organized, and helped transport equipment during an outdoor shoot.

I was a camera operator for a Hospital Association Conference. I used the Canon C300 MKII to film the panelist, and chased audience reaction shots during the full day event.

I was a camera operator standing 2 feet from the front of the stage at a music festival communicating back and forth with the Technical Director to capture shots of the singers/drummers/guitarists to be shown on a giant LED screen for fans in the back of the venue. For some sets, I provided the TD with a variety of close ups/wide shots/tracking shots/smooth pans from instruments to musicians.

As a Freelance Camera Operator for Voice & Video, I use the Sony NX5U and NX5R Cameras to film corporate events/internal meetings.

I assisted the camera operator and the 1st AC. I set up and kept the battery charging station organized, and ran slate for the 5 day shoot. I worked with the sound mixer and assistant director to be in sync and to keep organized throughout the day when slating. Throughout the shoot, I also assisted the gaffer as a grip to speed up the daily workflow and set up/strike times.

I was recruited by Dreamtek to film "Talks at Google" at the San Diego Google office. The Talks at Google program brings authors, musicians, innovators, and speakers of all stripes to Google.

I was a freelance photographer with Noiseporn and have covered the KAABOO Del Mar Music Festival 4 years in a row. I photograph the fan experience and have photographed top acts such as Foo Fighters, Halsey, One Republic, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.

I was the assistant editor for several episodes of the TV Show called Fox Sports San Diego. Each show would begin editing on a Monday, and would need to be completed and sent off by that Thursday. My roles included: organizing footage, mixing audio levels, finding appropriate music, editing according to a pre-made skeleton edit, leaving room for Fox's commercial requests, and adding lower thirds for each reporter/interviewee.

This was a 7 Camera Multi-Camera shoot for a live-stream of Johnny Clegg at the Belly Up. The video was for KPBS and aired on the Belly Up website. My role was to Multi-Cam edit together the 7 Camera Angles and create a final "Show Edit."

I was a Camera Operator and an Assistant to the Technical Director during this live-stream event. We rotated positions at the intermission mark.

I was a Camera Operator part of a 5 camera team. We filmed a local ballet performance at the San Diego Lyceum Theater.
