Dane Boedigheimer’s Summary
Am experienced in directing, shooing, editing, special effects, and motion graphics. Have worked with many great clients, including JibJab, Metacafe, Bytecaster, and many others to create various short form videos for the web. I also create videos for a comedy video site (gagfilms.com) that I run. My videos have been seen by many millions of people.
My goals are to keep working hard at what I love to do: making videos. That includes teaching myself new things and always trying to challenge myself with projects that will take me in directions that I have not gone before. I would love to continue creating videos for clients, as well as working on personal projects.
