Joel Salda

I ran camera for Mrs. Gacs music video for her larger project Pieces. After a few conversations with her, I determined the style and content for the video.

Under a strict one day shooting schedule, I directed and shot an original short for the web about the psychological processes of a person obsessed with an online dating site.

I operated my camera in a series of live - marching in Mardi Gras parades and riding on floats - and interview situations.

I operated the lead camera in the unit under the direction of a producer.

I serviced and trouble shot problems with the camera and the rigs. I was also responsible for dumping footage and maintaining the batteries.

Easy Does It is a short which the director entered in the local festivals. I researched the types of rigs that were to be used for the shoot. The director wanted exterior driving shots from outside the car. I set up the rigs and operated the camera.

I maintained, cleaned, and created props used in the 1920s Faulkner adaptation. I also assisted with greens, on set decoration, and off set decoration.
