Colleagues describe him as "In the TV news industry, there is video news gathering, there is photojournalism... and there is storytelling. The industry is saturated with climbers and clingers, but few storytellers. Steve Coppin IS one of those elite few. While Steve will cover even the most routine assignment with excellence in terms of video, audio, lighting and "bringing the viewer into the moment,"- the art of capturing emotion, expression, the meaningful nuances... those are where he shines. Those are where he showcases genius. A true storyteller can tell the story on his own, in the form of a video-essay, a "photog piece" or "nats package." But Steve is just in tune with a reporter or producer. His communication skills in the field are so welcomed- he collaborates well but also has no hesitation in taking the lead on interviews. Steve is one of those people in life truly gifted with approaching the whole world with an amazing eye. I have often been awed at how different I saw the story being there with him... then saw it again as HE saw it looking at his video. If you have the chance to work with him, your experience will be richer for it." and "You know how you walk up to the assignment desk and you pray that the person you want to work with is available? Working in tandem with Steve Coppin we were able to create some of the best work I've ever done. And, we always laughed a lot while working together. This is a great guy!"

Listed skills include Broadcast Television, Broadcast, Video Production, Avid, and 15 others.
