ABOUT THIS PROJECT
I served as the Director of Photography (DP), Lead Videographer and Editor on a 5-person team under the direction of the Bonfire Collective marketing agency. Bonfire Collective was hired to manage a larger marketing and branding campaign for St. Elias Alpine Guides (SEAG). Our team was tasked with creating 40+ videos and reels for use on the SEAG website, social media and email platforms.
As the DP I was responsible for executing the Creative Director’s vision in the Pre-Production and Production stages. Specifically, I was tasked with determining the visual style and camera settings to be used by the crew of videographers. Also, I created the shot lists for each video, did all location scouting and supervised the team of videographers to ensure completion of filming all videos. During the Editing phase, I created all of the Sizzle Reels and completed the fine editing, color grading and graphics for all of the videos. This project was a masterclass in teamwork, problem-solving and flexible storytelling skills under a tight deadline and I’m extremely proud of the work our team accomplished.
