Digital Video Specialist
Greater New York City Area
My favorite role is to "solve problems". I like to work with creative groups to drive change that increases revenue, saves time and money and makes things easier. One example of this is converting Sports Illustrated from shooting film to digital photography in 2002. The night events looked dramatically better, the magazine was able to close faster, there was a savings of nearly $2,000,000 per year and there were also no more EPA permits to file.
I have in-depth, hands-on knowledge of all aspects of the digital video and digital photography workflow. I understand the intricacies and interactions, and I know how to make it all work in the real world, with real solutions. I have worked on many large events, Olympics, Super Bowls and have learned how to work under deadlines that cannot be adjusted.
