CAMERA OPERATOR: Since 2008, I’ve had nearly weekly experience operating a professional Sony broadcast studio camera at a 13,000+ church in the Washington, DC area. I’ve worked the camera both manually hand-held on stage and stationary on a tripod with arms. I visually set up and framed dynamic shots of musicians, instruments, singers and speakers and followed through the shot using various creative camera techniques.
In addition to the weekly three services on Sunday, I also served as either a stage camera operator or on a tripod at special events at the church, such as concerts.
Paid jobs working professional studio broadcast video cameras at events include a conference at Eagle Bank Arena, and two choral/orchestra concerts at the National Cathedral.
VIDEO DIRECTOR: I have over five years experience directing the video feed of up to six cameras, camera operators, and shade tech for three church services per week, directing shots and choosing which ones go live. While I have experience directing a TD, I mostly operate the switching board myself. The video feed is broadcast in a 3,000 seat auditorium, throughout the facility and to various additional campuses in the Washington, DC area and on the internet all over the world reaching over 15,000 each week.
I was the video director when President Trump came to the church for prayer.
STAGE MANAGER: I have experience managing the backstage of the main campus of the large church, helping to direct people and elements; as well as interface with the pastor, speakers, musicians, guests, and the front of the house.
OTHER: I’ve designed the church video team logo and created promotional material (poster, rack card, postcard, flyer) to encourage people to join the video team. I’ve also helped train new video team members on how to operate the camera.
