Dale Ernest’s Summary

I have decades of experience in the broadcast industry, both in radio and television. I was lucky enough to spend six months documenting the clean-up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. I spent over 7 years as the Chief Production Videographer for the ABC affiliate in Santa Barbara, California. Over 4 years at a media production facility in Los Angeles, working primarily on TVG, the horse-racing channel, mixing live audio.

I was most recently employed as a Chief Videographer for the Santa Barbara News-Press. I also worked recently part-time as a newscaster for a talk-radio station.

I am now a freelance Videographer/Editor for my own company, Ernest Edits. Any news, documentary, event projects that you may need to be shot and/or edited are welcome. You can see examples of my recent work at www.newspress.tv.
