As a camera operator we travel with a producer and an officer. Its a ride along show structured like "COPS" to where the camera operator is more like a fly on the wall. As a team we follow law enforcement on a day to day reality structure and cover story sometimes go into a live broadcast with the same camera set-ups while monitoring audio.

Implementing reality tv techniques strategically to reformat a fresh perspective into the world of hunting. As producer/ shooter the main objective is to cover story beats and to recognize opportune moments to grab footage needed for upcoming commercials, youtube teasers, and various social networking platforms. Videographer/ producer/ sound / ac / for and outdoor professional hunting show tested my ability to stay cool in the hot seat, adjust quickly and prepared to learn something new immediately. I work well under pressure, learn quickly and have a professional and positive attitude.

With the techniques and training from years of assistant camera I finally was able to use these skills in mainly interview and B-Roll camera operating.

While shooting and producing I act as a character as well to document the professional lifestyle of bow hunter Freddy Harties as he travels the world. The main story follows high paying guests on an elk ranch in CO. Mainly hand held we work often in any extreme condition. Set up interviews and take notes while building story beats. Product Placement and B-roll are another large part of the gig as well as being a character.

On the fly interviews, b-roll, producing and shooting. After, post editing and managing media into a professional video for corporate.

Direct, shoot, edit music video for an ongoing production and eventual documentary.
