Behind the scenes...

 


 

I am currently on staff as a video producer/director/DP of A-list entertainment broadcast and publicity events for TV-Wire and several other broadcast TV outlets and entertainment genre Web venues as well. I am very still actively engaged in the motion picture business full time as a digital film and video DP, Steadicam operator (digital only specialty), and visual consultant on movie and TV productions.

A few of my completed U.S. feature film projects are listed on the Web "bible" of feature film production, IMDb (IMDb does not currently list credits for commercials or music videos, so my credits for those type projects are not listed). All of my listed credits on IMDb were added by the production companies I have worked for (or their reps). I never add credits to the list, so I never have to worry about who I left out. Even my IMDb photo was added by a Warner Bros. production exec (and friend).

To date, I have filmed thirty-one full length (88 minutes or longer — and ranging from well under a million to over forty million dollar budgets) theatrical feature films as the primary DP (mostly in Europe), another fifty or so as the 2nd unit / fill-in / replacement / "cover my ass" DP or visual consultant (mostly uncredited), and well over a hundred non-theatrical film and video projects (commercials, music videos, documentaries, shorts, experimental films, TV shows/pilots/specials). Of the thirty-one features, twenty-eight were released theatrically, and I co-directed one of the features and directed most of the commercials and music videos.

At one time, I was shooting about five features a year, and even managed to DP two spaghetti westerns at the same time being shot on adjacent studio sets on the same lot. I have shot movies on five of the seven continents.

I was the Steadicam Op on a lot of these shows as well. I did a ton of Steadicam work for Cinemobile in the late 70's / early 80's on both feature films (theatrical and TV mini-series/movies of the week) and episodic TV shows (as a "special"). My early involvement with the Steadicam is here.
