HERE’S MY FOCUS

Professional Relationships: Building lasting connections is at the heart of my work ethic.
Mobility & Flexibility: “Have Camera—Will Travel.” I’m your go-to owner-operator, ready to scale from simple solo shoots to joining a crew on larger productions when called on.
VIDEO PRODUCTION SERVICES
Pre-Production
In the pre-production phase, I collaborate with clients to help shape their vision into a tangible plan. This includes conceptualizing their project, managing logistics, securing equipment, and assembling the right team, setting the stage for a successful shoot.
Production
In the production phase, I offer on-the-ground support and direction, managing the shoot when clients are unable to be present. My focus is about bringing the client vision to life, ensuring that each frame captured is aligned with client expectations.
Post-Production
In the post-production phase, client footage is securely backed up before utilizing DaVinci Resolve for syncing audio, editing, and color grading. My goal is to surpass your expectations, delivering a media product that not only encapsulates your brand message but also effectively activates your audience.
