Hello,
I have included my resume as an attachment and also in the body of this
e-mail along with a text overview of my experience. I'm interested in a
camera or sound position on your crew. I have 5 years of experience
working on camera and sound crews as camera operator/assistant,
lighting, grip, and sound recordist. I have field and studio experience
with TechTV, KPIX CBS-5 news, and live professional sports broadcasting.
I am currently working as a videographer for Advanced Courtroom
Technologies shooting legal depositions with the Sony PD250, for
Cinematic Studios shooting weddings and events, and on production crews
for live sports broadcasts. I also freelance on films as a sound
recordist, gaffer, and camera assistant.
I can supply you with professional references and copies of some of my
shooting upon further request. My rate is flexible and negotiable.
Thank you.
