Professional Videographer/Video Editor

Profile: Effective at shooting events, work well with producers, specialize in HD/MiniDV/DVCAM formats with my own professional equipment. I am experienced, professional videotaping since 2001, started out as a grip for New West Video Production Company in Albuquerque and went to a Technical Vocational Institute, learning field production filming from a teacher, who for ten years, was a Cameraman / Assistant Producer in Hollywood. Also completed a video editing class, receiving an A in both classes.

I have been doing video production work for the past ten years. In 2006, was trained at studio camera work at Channel 27, downtown Albuquerque, NM. It was a Part-time, qualified position, learning video shooting in a studio and was a cameraman for a producer's show called, "Talk Show This", duties as main camera operator, floor director, Compix operator and switching with a Grass Valley Group Switcher.

This last three years , been shooting with an additional video format: DVCPRO50 using a P2 card on my Panasonic HVX200A Camcorder. I have the foresight, to shoot material with timing, even in a team environment, that is editable in a variety of ways, and set up, pan or tilt camera properly, focusing on a subject. In getting a good background scene, able to do a proper iris set, with the best possible lighting available and cover what happens in front of the camera, for the final goal.

In April, 2009, participated in a Bernalillo County Hands-On Filmmaking Workshop, presented by the Arts Program and Digital Filmmaking Institute, learning the craft of filmmaking, techniques, positions necessary to shoot and produce a movie. The Director of Photography (Cinematographer) session, confirmed my knowledge and ability to set up camera, lighting and sound to produce an appropriate film shoot.

In 2010, have been doing video shooting and editing, for two different construction companies, of their training sessions, taking almost two months to complete for each company and they have liked the training session dvds. I have produced, 13 dvds for the first company and 18 dvds for the second company. Since these two sessions have not gotten anymore video production, due to the recession, until August, 2011. See my resources portfolio page for the information.

I never break a signed commitment, unless an emergency arises, the goal is your production, done professionally, with an Independent Contract Agreement and Deposit, as usual requirements.

Video editing, in standard post-production, completed A.S.A.P. In 2001, used Adobe Premiere 6.0, went to 1.5 Pro, then 2006 switched to Final Cut Pro 3. In 2008, upgraded to FC Express 4 and FCP 6, can complete acceptable editing with each one. On December, 2010 got my Macbook Pro laptop stolen and now have a used Mac Powerbook G4 laptop, do certain effects, achieving film-look, able to use Motion and Color-Correction programs. I can select, combine most effective shots of the scene, to form a logical and smoothly run story, edit an event, that can delight an audience but not with animation.
