While pursuing my career in music, I also have been doing videography on the side. It’s always been a field of interest for me, even while getting my degree in music. From starting with my iPhone, to using high-end equipment that costs as much as I would make in a year, I have had my share of experience. In 2023 I purchased my first camera: Sony FX30, and I have been taking it on every shoot that I get. As you can see below, I have had several employers/outlets to work on my skills as a videographer.
Urbanite LA
At the beginning of the year, I had the opportunity to be the lead videographer for Urbanite LA at the “Getting Real 24” conference that IDA, a non-profit, hosts every two years. I worked hand in hand with both Srini and Vanessa, and as a team we were able to fully capture the event. It was 4 days of hard work with a bunch of planning before hand and during, but it was extremely fulfilling and a really fun project to work on. I look forward to many more events with Urbanite LA, and I will do my best to keep you updated through here about any events we work on together.
Most Recently, we had the opportunity to cover the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival in Hollywood. I had the opportunity to cover three days of the event: Scene and Be Seen (@ the Godfrey Hotel), The Consulate Brunch (@ The Greek Consulate’s Home), and Closing Night of LAGFF. We all had a blast covering this event, and look forward to next time!
Apollo Vision
Very recently (during the summer time, 2024), I had the privilege of capturing B-Roll for Apollo Vision for Cat Con in Pasadena. It was two days full of content creation and we had a great time together. This was the same media company that has helped me with music videos in the past, namely “Memories” by yours truly, and “Sing Joy” by SBWMUSIC.
TVAsia
I’ve done a lot of contracted work through TVAsia, which consisted of many interviews, events, and creative thinking in regards to what shots need to be taken and when. Most of my work with TVAsia is extremely fast paced, and intense. It’s a privilege to be able to do what I do with them. Those gigs are usually bi-monthly or every couple of months. When I am working events with TVAsia, I use their JVC Pro HD camcorder or my own Sony FX30.
Rolling Hills Covenant
I started out my time doing videography at RHCC primarily being on the camera. We use Panasonic SHAN-TM700’s for our 1 and 3 cameras, and a robotic camera for our camera 2. Camera 4 is on a slider and does not require any operations, other than the initial setup and maintenance. Over the next couple of years, I showed interest in directing the show. Since then, I have been directing the majority of services about three weekends in the month, and am loving what I do!
Lancer Production
I was apart of CBU’s Lancer Production team and had the opportunity for two years back in my undergrad, to cover events such as: Chapel Services, Basketball Games, Commencements, Concerts, and many more. This was the first job I had where I knew I wanted to do it in some sort of fashion as a profession. Though music was the focus, I always had a desire to be a cameraman since that job opportunity. We used Ikegami as the main camera brand back then for all of the cameras in the events center. I believe it was a HC-HD300 from Ikegami, but I’m not 100% sure at this point.
I hope these examples illustrate what I am able to do, as well as how I deliver to the clients I work for.
