Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
Together let's decide what is the correct, fair cost for creating your video, one that works with your budget. I'll then co-write the script (with you and your team), produce, direct, film and edit your video for this one cost, without your having to be concerned about the number of filming days or editing time. I also include at no cost to you all animations, music, sound effects, pictures and graphics that I use in your video - all are royalty-free, and include all buy-out rights, so you never have to pay for rights to these creative elements used in your video.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
I will learn all about your company or organization, your products or services - everything that you need your new video to do - who you are wanting to reach - why, and what you want viewers to know and feel when they watch your video, and the action you want them to take. Most important is that your video clearly and easily presents your message, that your viewers quickly understand your message, feel your passion as they watch, and are then motivated to take action. My clients say working with me to create their video is easy, fun, and that I bring added value to their project.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
In the past 15 years, I've written, directed and edited 400+ creative videos for a wide variety of clients around the country. I'm honored with 25+ major international awards for videos I've created, and I'm a judge with the International TELLY Awards for the past 7 years. Before I became a filmmaker, I was a top San Diego studio audio recording engineer and producer, and then was a top Southern CA audio tech for about 1,000 videos, TV shows and movies. So, for your video, sound is very, very important to me - it's just as important as the video you see. Watch any of my clients' videos to hear how clean and crisp everything sounds. For me, your video's soundtrack is just as important as what you see.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I owned two recording studios in Ohio, and a top recording studio in San Diego heard about me and hired me to be their General Manager and Chief Engineer. Then I was hired as the sound tech to capture the audio on 1,000+ film and video shoots. In the early 2000's I began creating videos for corporations, businesses, people with products and services.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
I have many clients all around the country - NYC, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Cleveland, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Georgia, and many more. I write, produce, film and edit several genres of video projects -- lots of corporate conferences and keynote events, training and education videos, creative, story-driven, heathcare and social service / non-profit gala, fundraising and "About Us" videos, commercial clients - products and service videos.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
Austin Commercial is based in Dallas, TX. They are a major national level construction company - they build bridges, college buildings, airport terminals - large scale construction projects. Austin Commercial hired me through Thumbtack to film and edit an interview with the director of LA Airports, and film footage of the new LA International Airport Terminal - which they built. I then edited the footage into a concise three minute marketing video for them. Austin Commercial said the video I created was the best they've every seen, and they immediately had me film and interview with the CEO of San Diego's international airport, and then edit a second video featuring another of their large-scale construction projects - the San Diego Rental Car Center. Our third video was early in 2017, filming and creating a new video at the San Francisco International Airport which they are rebuilding Terminal 2.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
It's always best to hire someone who is experienced, has lots of great referrals, quickly understands what your needs - who "gets" who you are and works closely with you to have the best video created with during the preproduction phase so that the production phase - the actual filming, is smooth without surprises and with the least amount of stress.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
It's always best to hire someone who is experienced, has lots of great referrals, and they truly understand what your needs are. Most important, a video person who "gets" you and what your passion is for what you do, who can incorporate your passion into your video so viewers "get" your passion, too.
