A lovely playground for expression, as well as a tightly-controlled format that can be edited very quickly and for very little money. A script, some footage, and I can be ready to have your project done in a matter of hours or days.
I find them to be a wonderful way to effect change in the world with my skillset, and in a way that can be of great importance to those affeectd by the issues featured or brought to light by such films. I've worked on many, from local issues in Detroit and Ann Arbor to far-reaching ones in Cairo and Hong Kong.
I've made a number of advertisements and promotional pieces for companies across Michigan and Ohio. I am happy to work with you on every step of the process; from conception, to planning, to production. Most advertisement pieces can be done in a few weeks, and for fairly little money. Tell me about your goal, and let's talk!
I have made Kickstarter videos for various bands, companies, and organizations, and have raised over $12,000 therein. I find it to be a fun blend of the advertisement and the documentary that I quite enjoy. Doing good work, helping someone bring their idea or dream to fruition, and have a format that is prime for engendering and fostering creativity? Count me in.
If you ever need the handling of a full project — advertising, Kickstarter/GoFundMe, social media — I can handle all aspects of a full project if needed. Pricing is dependent on which services are done, and how much of each. I am an expert in all of the aforementioned fields, and work accordingly.
I enjoy working on all manners of film — be it documentary, music video, short film, concert, feature-length, advertisement, or promotion. Each has its own completely different style and manner of design/production. It is one of the great joys of film to be able to work on each of these, as they are truly different jobs with different skills, and I relish each. Please feel free to talk in-depth about your vision and how you see your project coming to fruition, ansd I'll tell you if we'd be a good match!
I have created, bought, and tuned my equipment around the goal of creating cinematic images with few to no compromises. My main camera is the Blackmagic Ursa 4K cinema rig, outfitted with PL mount lenses. Secondary/gimbal (and tight quarters) camera is a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, with native MFT and adapted PL lenses. Tertiary (and crazy situations) camera is a GoPro HERO3 shooting in CineStyle H.264. Aerial camera is the 3DRobotics Solo, with a DJI Inspire 2 drone + ZenMuse X5S camera in the works. I record audio using the internal audio of the Ursa 4K, as well as a Zoom H4N and a Zoom H1 for interviews. Microphones include an Audio Technica AT897 shotgun mic, Sony ECMSM3 lavalier, and more.
