I received an email about this opportunity. One thing about owning a small business is that there are a lot of road blocks you face every day. Funding is always an issue, but more importantly I created the First Responders Network as a way to change the conversation about the first responder industry. Teach the [...]
2012 NAB Wrap Up: Products that stuck out for me
I wanted to first state that as a NAB virgin I was impressed that I was able to get a hotel that was across the street from the convention center. We didn’t waste any time while there having to worry about transportation. I knew going in that this was going to be a big year [...]
Pre-NAB jitters, what I hope to learn
Every year the NAB conference in Las Vegas comes and goes for me. Each time I somehow justify not going because I am too busy, don’t have enough money or some variation of the two. This year is a bit different. I am heading there with a colleague of mine Greg Freeman (DP/ Director) with [...]
The Last Job – my first short film/ 48 hour film festival submission – Update

The off the cuff interview
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas! Here I was in Las Vegas for the EMS World Expo where I was actually providing video production services for vendors when I was contacted by a few friends of mine Sam Bradley and Bill Sugiyama. They had been talking to Tim Phalen and felt it [...]
Going back in time
This last week was an amazing experience for me and I have to share a few things that I learned. Greg Freeman and long time friend and even more recently a partner in production asked me at the last minute if I would be available for a shoot. Of course any chance I get to [...]
Taking video production worldwide – Switzerland
This project started months ago when I got a call from a great friend and business partner Mark Glencorse. Many of you remember him coming over to San Francisco from NewCastle over in the UK to have the first of its kind paramedic exchange. I had the unbelievable opportunity to work with the SFFD and [...]
FCPX – is it right for you?
I couldn’t stop watching this video. When you hear from others in the industry that just get it you can learn a lot. This video is very clear about the pros and cons of FCPX and I advise you to take a look if you are an editor. I am just reposting this and [...]
