Colorado DOP/DP
I enjoy video production, and film or television production and also enjoy helping producers or production companies as well. Even when things don’t go as planned, my experience can overcome common problems on video, film or TV shoots.Â
RF issues, location noise, crowds, whatever the challenges, I’ve been able to use prior backup plans or make new ones to get the footage needed.An example shoot in a hospital where all of the medical equipment crowded every frequency on 2 different wireless making them unusable. I did not have a sound recordist so I improvised using the camera mic with an XLR. Now I bring even more back up gear when working by myself or bringing a camera crew as the DOP.
The shoots that you have to adapt to the unforeseen challenges in my instance have come and gone with lesser problems year after year. I’ve been also hired to support other camera people, production companies, clients, crews etc., I love to work in my profession so just call or text me at 1 720 299-2084.
I also have other skills in sound mixing, AC, as a camera operator among others. From storyboards, characters, or concept design. To production or support, completion for any task you call me for. I love my job (work?)

Colorado Photographer
I enjoy being a professional Colorado and traveling photographer. A DP or Dop in abbreviation is sometimes a solo person whom operates a still photograph camera in my expertise. Taking pictures with any camera that has manual settings will yield better results. Add all the needed camera support accessories will also be a available and for expanding contingency.
For more exact pictures a single photographer will need more time bringing extra lighting, backgrounds, resources and alternate solutions. A photographer’s assistant can keep a schedule so it’s worth the hiring expense on a deadline paced shoot. it’s also the similar in video or TV production.Â

What is a DP/DOP
A DP or DOP is an abbreviation for a director of photography. Sometimes overlapping and perhaps relevant nicknames that are somewhat relatable are a videographer, cameraman or camerawoman. All of these skills overlap and motion picture film is seldom used like it has in the past. It’s still used but at risk. Gears and film stock that don’t play together jamming & breaking film stock. A lock of clean audio into a film like 35mm among other formats requiring an external recording and or a sound recordist a film loader or assistant camera. Among other challenges requiring additional handlers increasing budgets. Film is beautiful in picture and is great to learn to use, but it needs several backups, resources and watchful eyes.
With modern cameras that emulate the pixel depth and color and looks of films, in Log and similar modes, why not go digital? Digital is also cloned as a binary file system avoiding loss and information with the right handlers. Copy Paste if you know the routines. It’s still great to have a camera crew, video or film crew as a cinematographer and as a smaller crew for several reasons. I can help in either need.

Video Production, TV
& Film Productions
I can help you advertise anything from a product, service, place, tangible etc. Video is the most common medium used that replaced most all film decades ago when 4K format and larger formats hit the production markets.
Advertising can also be an infomercial. an online ad on YouTube or Facebook or other website. Advertising can also be done with still photographs, at a lesser cost than filming, recording, but does not work as well for TV or online commercials requiring captivating movement. It’s better to record video or film.
Recording video is the fastest more secure way to get an advertising campaign to your audience. Film requires development and scanning, then transfer to be edited. Film has more storage requirements to keep it preserved.
Broadcast Video Production
Hiring a director of photography for broadcast TV that is not intended for advertising is another need of production companies, producers and TV networks. Some examples of TV programs include:
- Documentaries.
- Reality TV called factual entertainment.
- Soap Opera or other similar entertainment.
- Sports broadcast and entertainment,
- Investigative journalism.
- Game shows like “The Price is Right”
- Local government broadcast. Like Denver 8 TV.
- Comedy broadcasts.
- Paranormal or horror TV entertainment. Or supernatural themes.
- Action and adventure broadcast themes.
- Youth themed programs like Sesame Street.Â
- Animation themed broadcast are done by animation studios, and can incorporate people, places and other physical or living elements.

Concept Artist, Storyboard Artist
I can help your production writing scripts and treatments. I can also provide storyboard artist & concept artist services. to help you plan your shoot. Storyboards and concept art are needed in CGi and to make physical elements like sets or costumes. They can also direct a cinematographer, camera operators, and other crew members on visuals for each shot.
Storyboards and concept art can also direct action, actors, secondary extras and many other elements to make a shot or scene or entire production. Scripts and treatments can be interpreted in separate ways and must have a lost of details to convey specific ideas.
