Experience
My experience takes me back to 1988 when I began as a freelance camera operator while finishing up film school. By the early 90's, I had shot for a diverse array of clients and applications, ranging from commercials and corporate to special events and sports. In 1997, I took over as owner of VideoMagic Productions which was a full-service production studio specializing in smaller budget productions (mostly under $10K). Since then, we have grown in many ways, particularly with our expansive client list of Fortune 500 companies and several Major League Baseball Teams. Our full-service nature allows us to work with clients from concept to final media delivery.

Speciality
If there is truly one specialty that I can personally offer, it is the area of directing. For 20 years I have been involved with hundreds of projects which have not only refined my skills technically, but allowed me to master the art of directing. I can also say without hesitation that my camera operating skills are exceptional and very cutting-edge in creativity.
Hardware Proficiency
I have worked with most camera formats in my career, ranging from Betacam and DVCAM to our newest adventures in HD technology. And although my history of work has been with full-sized cameras, our recent experiences in the HD world have been with cameras like the Sony PMW-EX1, Panasonic HVX200A and JVC GYHD200U.
As for editing, we have 4 edit bays utilizing the Canopus Edius software with version 5.0 running on a quad core system.
