AUDIO / VISUAL
and I’ve worked in the audiovisual world for over 30 years. I got my start as a soundman and grip in 1975, and worked my way up to sound engineer by 1980. By 1990 I decided to branch out and learn more of the business. I spent three years learning lights, concert, theatrical, and conference. At the same time I began learning the audiovisual business, screens, projectors, and live recording.
I also started operating cameras during this period of time; first as a second or third camera and after a few years as first camera, and then as a director, and by 1997 a fully seasoned production manger, which I’ve been doing ever since. I’ve work all over the United States as an audiovisual production manager first for a company called Destiny Telecomm International, Inc., then all over the world as a freelance cameraman, and audio engineer. I’ve worked in England, Egypt, Canada, and Mexico.
I started a production company in 2001, “Global View Communications”. I made an independent film during that time with my then co-owner Ralph Steiner. It is a documentary called “History Denied”, UFO Secrets of the U.S. Government, a documentary film on the life and times of Sgt. Clifford Stone U.S. Army (Ret.). While working at Global View Communications, I kept working as a production manager and a freelance cameraman. I worked for Bob and Teri Brown for the “International UFO Congress” for 9 years, and then for Victoria Jack and “The Bay Area UFO Expo” for the last 10 years. Also during this same time period I have worked the last 8 years for Brian Hall and his program “Conspiracy-Con” as production manager. Some of my duties are hiring, managing up to three full crews per project, with up to 18 speakers per program.
My responsibilities as production manager are all room sets, lighting, cameras, audio, and video. I am also responsible for A/V for both recording and live room reinforcement, all DVD recording for all speakers, and keeping the show running on time. I have recorded over 294 speakers in the last 10 years, and out of those 294 more than 30 I shot and produced myself due to illness of a cameraman, an audio person, and or A/V Tec, or all of the above. Like they say, “The show must go on”.
Also during the last twenty years I’ve worked on many freelance projects for such groups as MUFON, Independent Journalist Leslie Kean, and Dr. Steven Greer’s discloser project. I’ve shot weddings, funerals, birthday parties, home inventories, and even an Eagle Scout ceremony. |
