Video Production & Cinematography
I provide Full-Service Video Production to businesses and orginizations across a variety of industries, as well as cinematography for those with in-house editors and producers. I specialize in capturing real-world events and place an emphasis on camera movement and the longevity of my content.
What Is Full-Service Video Production?
Video production involves many components, which I break down into three stages:
STEP 1 | PRE-PRODUCTION
Pre-production is where I turn your idea into a plan. I'll start with your objectives, develop a shot list, handle logistics for locations, crew, and talent, finalize travel arrangements, make equipment selections, and more.
STEP 2 | PRODUCTION
I'll work on location during the production phase to capture your raw footage and audio. Occasionally I'll work alone as a single camera operator, but my typical video production involves a team of 2-8 people, including a Producer, B-Camera Operators, On-Camera Talent, Production Assistants, and even FAA Licensed Drone Pilots when required.
STEP 3 | POST-PRODUCTION
During the post-production phase, I'll gather all the media created in the previous step, organize it by shot type and scene, and then select the best takes. From there, I'll create a rough edit and offer you the opportunity to provide feedback before a round of revisions. After I've assembled the timeline, I'll finalize any remaining color corrections, sync audio, add titles, and export your finished edits in multiple formats. I'm also happy to include Closed Captions, where applicable, which are often required for compliance with ADA guidelines.
Please start by taking a moment to view my work samples, which demonstrate the overall look and feel of the videos I've created with clients. This process helps you get familiar with my style and ensures that we're a good fit. Once ready, visit my contact page and schedule a meeting or submit a new inquiry.
Did you know that viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to only 10% when reading it in text alone*? (*Insivia). The message is clear:
Video Marketing Works
I Can Help With Distribution Too!
Once the final edits are available, your videos must be uploaded to your website, YouTube or Vimeo, social media, and more. I can handle all this for you or deliver the files using cloud storage and a physical drive. Let me know if you're interested in combining multiple services!
Stills From Video
Shooting video in 8K RAW allows me to pull high-resolution still photos from your footage without any loss in quality. This process will enable you to share additional images on social media, your website, and print ads. Using the RED Helium or Nikon Z Series, I can record 8K video at up to 60fps, and deliver 35MP still photos (TIFF, JPEG, R3D, or NEV) from the same footage! Please let me know if you're interested in stills from video when making your inquiry.
Cinematography Only
In addition to providing full-service media production, I also work with companies with an editor on staff who need help gathering footage out in the field. I will shoot, offload, and back up your footage on-location, then provide a copy at the end of the day.
