For several US-based episodes of this series I lead a small crew as producer/DP and we captured all the interviews, B-roll, and contributor interviews needed to creative showcase these amazing places. I handled the challenging task of capturing amazing footage in the difficult environments ranging from underground bunkers to secluded gold mining ghost towns.

As DP / Cameraman I lit a dramatic interview against a black backdrop with a survivor of a traumatic event against. I direct streamed the output of my FS7 to a remote producer conduction the interview.

I acted as producer/shooter on several segment of this car build series. I recorded well-lit interviews and worked with the non-professional talent to capture usable interview footage for the story line. I worked to set up and record creative B-roll shots that provided all the coverage the editors needed for the story.

As the DP for this short I was responsible for managing a small crew to creatively capture the footage needed in only two days.

Director of photography responsible for assembling a local production crew to record this interview and creative b-roll episode. Since the producer was remote, I took on the field producer responsibilities for the b-roll. I also set up a remote producer interview set up and fed my Sony FS7 camera output directly back to the producer.

Camera operator for reality segments with the military family, remodeling segments of the property, cast product segments.

As the DP/Cameraman of a five person crew I lead the team on this two Sony FS7 and a Sony A7s II on a Ronin S gimbal shoot. I was responsible for lighting two-camera great looking interviews and capturing creative B-roll coverage that made the editor and client happy.

I was responsible for leading a two-camera Sony FS7 video shoot which took place in a rental residential house. I had to manage the crew and complete the lighting of a natural living room conversation scene. This required extensive lighting and set up of the multiple Sony FS7 cameras.

I recorded an interview and creative B-roll of Dan Jansen, Olympic Gold medalist speed skater for a documentary broadcast program about the 25 anniversary of the Lillehammer Winter Olympics. I used the Sony FS7 to record a great looking interview in Dan's home living room.

Using a Sony FS7, I was responsible for recording pick-up interviews with team members for the edit. For the set up of both exterior and interior interviews I controlled natural lighting and augmented with bi-colore LED lighting. Using the Sony FS7 M2's full capabilities I recorded interviews in CINE EI S-log3 mode. I also ended up running my own sound for the pick up interviews.

I was able to spend some rewarding time with our men and women in the military over a nine month timespan. This time was spent recording location sound to explore the lives and experience of the men and women fighting the war against violent extremism across the globe.

For this corporate video I was the videographer / DP traveling to multi-city locations around the United States to capture interviews and creative B-roll. The footage was shot on the Sony FS7 M2 using Rokinon Xeen CINE Prime lenses and lit with a bi-color LED's and ARRI lighting kit. Since it was a small crew, I was running my own double record (Lav/Boom) sound and the interviews contained perfect sound. I was presented with a variety of interview location challenges as these interviews were recorded at the scholarship winner's houses around the country. To compliment the interviews, I had to direct, light and capture creative B-roll shots of the subjects in various scenes.

During these past few years I’ve built upon my strong relationship with the folks at Warm Springs Productions (Mountain Men) and I have been recording sound for several of their home show series. I’ve been up in the mountains for Log Cabin Living and Mountain Life and to the beach for Beach Hunters. These have all been two-camera shoots with audio multi-tracking and running producer wireless IFB’s. I’ve met some interesting home buyers, worked with great crews, and handled any audio situation that was throw at me.

For the series of amazing web mini-documentaries I took on numerous roles to keep the size of the production crew small. Simultaneously during this fast-paced "day in the life of" shoots I dealt with lighting scenes and interview subjects in mixed light situations, recording strong audio to tell the story, and capturing amazing visuals with my Sony FS7 to allow the editor to connect the audience to our subjects.

This included recording reality segments with the home remodeling crew, product segments with the host and product expert, as well as the host stand-ups. I had to work on the fly and yet I was able to quickly light rooms and scenes to make the shots look amazing.
