There are two types of videography that I do - Video Shoots and Footage Capture. For me a Video Shoot (just like a Photo Shoot) can be either indoor or outdoor and usually is a controlled environment (like a studio) for the photographer. The Lighting and Subjects are technically manipulated for the best results. Time is allocated to the set up of lighting, backdrops and models to achieve the best look.
Footage Capture is more of an “in the field” activity, usually without lighting set ups or backdrops. Often it is just me and my camera, and I enjoy the challenge that this represents to create quality results. Events like tradeshows, social gatherings, on-site interviews or product/process demonstrations are examples of Footage Capture.

As a video editor, I can use client provided footage as well as footage that I obtain myself. I can also use stock footage if requested or a combination of any of these asset types. I work primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro in a Windows environment.
Along with video composition, I do provide voice-over services as well as music and background effects.
For Television/Broadcast applications I can provide rendered files in the desired configurations including allowances for bitrate, pixel dimensions, interlacing and frame rate. Your Broadcast platform will usually provide file submission requirements to follow.

As a Part 107 sUAS Certified Drone Pilot I do offer Category 1 or 2 drone flight services including 4k video capture. I can integrate drone footage into my video productions for creative and cinematic shots that enhance the final edits. I do also offer drone image and video capture for survey work. I can deliver edited of unedited clips depending on what your needs and usage requirements are.
