I have over 40 years of high-level film/video production and post-production experience using most industry-standard cameras, editing, compositing, and graphics tools. I've done a considerable amount of cinematography work for documentaries, commercials, independent films, and corporate projects using a variety of cameras including the ARRI Alexa Mini and RED DSMC2. In addition, I have extensive experience in audio editing, sound design, and audio post. I spent the last eleven years applying that experience, teaching numerous production, cinematography and post-production classes at Compass College of Cinematic Arts.In 2013, I founded Braincell Camera, a digital cinema camera rental company, based in Grand Rapids, MI. Braincell provides high-end cinema camera packages, lenses and accessories to the Michigan film/video production community for films, commercials, corporate marketing and more. I have an in-depth understanding of the entire film/video production and post-production process including all common practices and techniques. In addition, I have an excellent understanding of streaming media, and the often bewildering maze of acquisition and delivery formats, codecs, storage media and resolutions.Throughout my career, I have managed large projects, hired and supervised large teams, and interfaced with clients, CEOs, executives and technical staff at the highest levels. I am a seasoned, reliable and responsible professional with an appreciation for deadlines, teamwork, attention to detail and solid creative thinking. I pride myself on my problem-solving abilities and staying current on the constantly-changing technology in the film/video industry.Specialties: ARRI and RED camera operator and DIT, 8K, 4K and HD post workflow design, wireless video and camera control systems, RED R3D and HD editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, location sound recording, Joomla!
