Cliff Etzel’s Summary

I have worked as a visual content creator for over 30 years. I worked as a photographer full time up to 1997 and then part time up until 2002 where I began the transition over to video. From 1997 to the present, I immersed myself in learning what the Internet was becoming and have adapted my work to reflect that trend. I worked in newspaper and magazine for over 10 years and since 1997, have been a published writer on several portal websites devoted to the sport diving industry, specializing in freediving.

Cliff Etzel’s Specialties:

I produce, shoot, edit, and deliver video projects to clients as a single person, or possibly two person video production entity. I work in SONY Vegas Pro 9, Sound Forge 9, Acid Pro 4 & Cinescore 1.0, which provides an efficient post production platform for the Solo Video Journalist paradigm. I also work as a web designer for specific clients that I feel can benefit from my services integrating blogging and other web 2.0 applications as a tool for their overall marketing of their business.

Cliff Etzel’s Experience

  (Media Production industry)

  June 2007 — Present (2 years 6 months)

  I'm a freelance Solo Video Journalist : Producer : Web Designer.
  
  I work as a self contained videographer who conceives, shoots, edits, narrates (as needed) and delivers projects produced in a minimalist fashion, yet has high production values. Working this way allows me to work in a more nimble fashion and results in a finished product that is cost effective, yet high in quality.
