High-quality and entertaining. That's the priority.

 

Planning and preparation, plus having the right skills, knowledge, equipment, and energy make for good work. What defines good work? I believe it's in the details:

​

  • the right lighting

  • high-quality, clean video AND audio

  • the right edits

  • branding consistency

  • color grading to aesthetic

​

Telling stories is teamwork. Writers, actors, crew, producers, and audience all have a part in the process. Whether the project is a music video, a commercial, a live-streamed event, short film, or a documentary, the end result has to FEEL good. No matter if it's a team of two or twenty, we'll make it happen by working together, so let's work together. ​​

WHAT I DO

GOOD VIDEO WITH BAD AUDIO IS BAD VIDEO.​

​​

Before I was a videographer, I was an audio engineer. For over 20 years I've been recording and mixing audio both on-site and in the studio. Now, I run a double-desktop setup where I can simultaneously process audio I've captured as I edit the accompanying footage. Audio quality and design is incredibly important to a great final product, and having a one-person workflow means no details get lost in the process.
