Lights, Camera, Action!
One of the best ways to communicate a message to an audience is by video. Technology becomes more and more available to the masses, but knowing how to use the tech AND tell the story while connecting with the viewer is where I come in. We all have our styles, and some people value this work more than others. I’m blessed to have the clients that I have who likes and values what I do for them.
I specialize in crafting compelling visual narratives through video production, offering services that encompass confidentiality, camera work, editing, closed captioning, website design, and social media/digital advertising.
Confidentiality
Most of my projects involve sensitive information, such as company trade secrets, intended solely for internal use. I also collaborate with agencies and companies under white-label agreements, ensuring their proprietary content remains undisclosed. Clients trust me to handle their projects with utmost discretion, knowing that confidentiality is a cornerstone of my services.
Camera Work / Video Production
Since 2003, I’ve filmed and photographed a diverse array of subjects and events. While I often manage my own projects, I also provide professional camera operation services in and around Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City, Knoxville, TN, as well as Southwest VA and Asheville, NC. My work has taken me across various states, including Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Nevada. If your project requires travel and my schedule permits, I’m open to filming your next event.
If you need a professional camera operator in or around Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City, Knoxville, TN as well as Southwest, VA and Asheville, NC; don’t hesitate to contact me.

Editing
I primarily edit my own projects, ensuring they meet the specific standards of each broadcast station or network while striving to exceed my clients’ expectations. This includes adhering to broadcast specifications for IRE levels and complying with the CALM Act for audio, with most stations conforming to -24 LKFS. If closed captions are needed, I can seamlessly integrate them into the project.
Closed Captions
Having developed a streamlined workflow for creating closed captions suitable for television broadcasting, YouTube, and Vimeo, I understand the importance of accessibility. Closed captions benefit the hearing impaired and enhance viewer engagement in environments where audio isn’t accessible, such as restaurants or bars. While AI transcription services have improved, I offer human-reviewed closed captioning to ensure accuracy and quality at a reasonable cost.
Website Design
My experience in website development dates back to the era of AOL dial-up. While I can code sites from scratch, I prefer using WordPress combined with robust themes to create functional and aesthetically pleasing websites. Although I don’t actively promote website design services, I’m open to discussing potential projects based on specific needs and my availability.
Social Media / Digital Ads
I assist companies in setting up and managing their social media advertising campaigns on platforms like Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and Google Ads/YouTube Ads. Effective campaigns require more than just boosting posts; they demand strategic planning and management. While I typically offer this service to businesses, I already collaborate with on video production, I’m also keen to help other small business owners navigate the complexities of social media advertising.
By integrating these services with video, I aim to provide comprehensive solutions that cater to the unique needs of each client, ensuring their stories are told effectively and professionally.
