Video Production at Iona University

Working on a new video for the alumni association at Iona University. It was a fairly involved setup for a speaking head video, but a second camera and backup audio feels like the best way to get the best final results.

New York Stock Exchange Video for Zeta Global IPO

in , ,

Here is a short video that shows some of the moments during an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been working on my video production and editing skills. The company hired me to shoot stills only, but with a crafty GoPro mount I could capture some of the moments on video. If you ever need a photographer of videographer for your IPO, opening bell or closing bell, please let me know. I’ve photographed about 1000 opening and closing bells over the years and probably a few hundred initial public offerings at the NYSE and at Nasdaq.

NYRP Sherman Creek Video

in ,

Working as a photographer has been my main source of income for the past 15 years, but recently I’ve really focused on making moving images, or videos and I’m so happy that NYRP have asked for more content like this. Setting up a Sony A9 in Sherman Creek with a lavalier microphone and a small DJI Mini 2 drone is really all I need to shoot this content. If you need a quick short for social media or to promote you’re brand I’d love to work on it.

Working on more Video Projects

in ,

I’ve been shooting videos for clients for a couple of years, but often I’m handing over the editing or not being completely involved in all aspects of production. This is my first full shoot and edit solo and I’m pretty happy with the result. Theres definitely more work to be done and more learning always, but thats the joy of learning new skills. With my drone footage and a couple of well placed mics, I think it all came together pretty well.

Working on more Video Projects

We’re always happy to create some videos for our regular clients. While we’re normally hired as photographers, our equipment is able to shoot video and we’re always available to jump on new projects. With the new world of COVID-19 business has changed and keeps changing. Here you can see a small two camera setup where we recorded one side of a zoom call for a video that a client is producing to make a big announcement in the coming weeks. With two Sony A9’s and a lav mic we can get some clean looking and sounding video.
