I camera operated for many live performances in the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center, ranging from musicals to interviews, throughout my college career. All were three camera shoots, and any events that took place in 2011 were shot in a live style with a switch board.

I was the Director of Photography on this Independent Feature, responsible for lighting setups, camera position and movement, and the overall look of the film. I also camera operated.

I was the director of photography on the project, and a camera operator during most episodes. I was in charge of the look of the film. The lighting changes to reflect the characters developing relationship. Finale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3pStDeEbG4

I was the DP on this short film, and Camera Operator on some scenes. I also was a Visual Effects editor on the project. This film was nominated for best cinematography at five towns college, and won awards for best senior thesis project and best visual effects.

I created and directed this mini web series. All episodes are available online. Episode 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in4Qut54QLU

I camera PA'd on this shoot. I kept batteries charged and readily available, and carried lenses and other gear for the camera department.

I was a camera PA on this two day shoot. I made sure batteries were charged, helped move equipment when changing shots, and occasionally helped build the camera.
