Video-Production

My typical day could either be in an office, on a studio stage or on location in Southern California. As a freelancer in video production I was hired on a contractual basis. These contracts could find me as a production coordinator for a three month stretch and then a grip, audio second or script supervisor for the next several weeks. I was fortunate in that I worked with several very successful production companies who always managed to keep me busy.
     As a production coordinator, I was responsible for contract negotiations, quality control, deliverables, maintaining profitability, acquiring assets and client communications. It was a very demanding job that requires a lot of attention to detail, artistic creativity and computer savvy. I enjoyed it very much. 
     I also filled many production roles. As a grip, I set lighting according to the director's (or cinematographer's) wishes. As an audio second, I followed the action and captured dialogue with the use of different microphones. I have also been a script supervisor, B roll cameraman, production assistant and travel manager.
     One of the best aspects of the job were my co-workers. They are very creative, high energy, professional and dedicated. All of them were committed to making the best production possible and were a pleasure to work with.

This was a business I started in order to use my skills outside of my regular job of editing news.  With my video production business I was able to work with various businesses and community groups.   I produced many video presentations, covered many events and produced and directed a local sports show.  I covered professional basketball, baseball and football games along with a golf charity event.  With my business I was the camera operator, audio operator, editor, director and many times the talent.  It was a wonderful way to bring all of my skills together as well as learn other areas of the business.

In my professional career I have had the opportunity to work with and a lot of great people. As both a staff and freelance working experiences, I have been involved in all facets of video production from planning to completion. I have had great working relationships with all of my co workers and have learned a little something different fro each of them, which gives me a better more rounded view of video production. The most difficult part of my job is often some of the long shooting days. Anytime you're on a show for 15+ hours those are extremely draining. Otherwise I truly enjoy all aspects of my career.

I shoot Music Videos Commercials Promos Edit and also Audio Engineer music and beats. Days are usually filled with lots of focus patience and getting the right touch on every project. I learned my potential from the kind and real words of mentors and instructors. Patience is definitely important, just being patient would be the hardest part. While still taking my time I still like to go at a fair pace, where sometimes its difficult when you have to wait. Seeing the satisfaction from the client for a job well done is one of the best feelings a person can get in this business.

typical work day is pre-production, production and post production.  I learned everything.  Learned more about audio and video production, learned about marketing, financing, fund raising, and so much more.  The managers and co-workers are all members of a team.  It was great.  Hardest part of job is sometimes working VERY hard for no money.  The most enjoyable is being proud of what you've done.

Day consisted of setting up video equipment for shoot and making necessary adjustments before the camera started rolling. Learned all about what goes into making videos and movies and TV commercials. no hard part about job except maybe some long days, Enjoyable part of job was everything from the locations we traveled to, to the subject matter we were filming.
