Denchs Video Services  Louisville, KY (502) 239-0229

Chief photographer for multi-cam, live-to-tape field production. Denchs received twenty-four national awards during my four years with the company. I owe a great deal to Tim Dench for sharing his knowledge of working out of the truck instead of the air-conditioned studio I came from. I was on the road with Denchs for four years, in some of the most difficult venues, and on every show I learned a solution to a new challenge. ($15-$30/hr)

News Editor (6/96 2/97)

WHAS-11  Louisville, KY

Top 50 ABC affiliate. I cut for the 5:30pm and eleven oclock newscasts. This position was my introduction to offline BetaSP, and non-linear on the Avid Newscutter. I learned how to work under intense pressure and time constraints. While I really appreciate and value the experience, I soon realized that television news wasnt where I wanted to be. ($8/hr)

Freelance Editor / ENG Camera (6/94 3/96)

Ford Motor Company, KTP  Louisville, KY

Challenging and rewarding two-year contract to document construction of the $650M Commercial Light Truck expansion. Responsibilities included ENG coverage of large-scale, heavy-industrial excavation, construction, and tooling of the 3,000,000 sq. ft. facility. Cut monthly reports on video which included aerial shots, track and dolly shots, and time-lapse footage. Complete post-production responsibilities from script to screen with music bed and v/o describing construction progress, recent tooling installations, and projections for completion. Completed the project by producing a music video How to Build a Truck which featured a closing highway shot of 25 F-350s which was shown at the North American Dealers Conference in Toronto. I learned how to work effectively in the most severe heavy-construction environment, and how to work closely with those at the executive level to determine project vision and requirements. ($15-$25/hr)
