I am a Video Editor & Director. I work with the rest of the video team to tell dynamic stories with visuals and sound. I can shoot, edit, grip, and I’ll even run in with the clapboard when someone calls “mark!”…as long as I don’t have to be in front of the camera once it starts recording. The best part of my job is taking a concept, crafting it into a video that then creates an emotion connection with the viewer…that’s pretty cool.
I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. While attending UNK, I started working for a small production company in Kearney. My first project there was to scan in over 700 photos for a client’s family slideshow. I don’t know what the sweet spot is for number of pictures in a slideshow, but I think 700 is too many. Overall, it was a great place to start in video because I was giving the opportunity to learn from skilled professionals and build my own skill set—all while staying rooted in Nebraska.
James’s Fast Facts:
What is one food or restaurant you could eat every day without getting sick of it? Burritos! Because you can put anything into a tortilla and it’s a burrito!
Have you ever had a strange pet? I didn’t have a strange pet, but when I was a kid, a bean plant started growing out the side of my water bed. That was strange.
What foods did you refuse to eat as a child? Mushrooms and ketchup were two big ones. I’m still a little unsure of both, but I’m more tolerant of them.
