What do you shoot on?
My main camera is a Blackmagic 6K, and I have Canon and Sony bodies available too. I've worked across most brands over the years, and if a job calls for something higher end, I'll rent it in and scope it into the budget. The gear follows the brief, not the other way round.
What do you edit on?
Primarily Adobe Premiere. I'm also comfortable in DaVinci Resolve Studio and CapCut, so if your team already lives in one of those, passing projects back and forth isn't a problem.
Where are you based, and will you travel?
I'm based in Los Angeles, California, and I travel for the right project. Travel and accommodation simply get scoped into the budget up front so there's nothing awkward later.
Do you guarantee results?
Within 90 days of your first shoot, I will produce a video that outperforms your best performing post of the last 12 months. If I do not, I keep shooting at no additional cost until I do. We agree your baseline number in writing before the first shoot, you show up to your shoot days, and you post on the schedule we set. The free extension runs up to 60 additional days.
How much do you charge?
It depends on the scope, and I'd rather quote you honestly than throw a number out before I understand the job. A doctor doesn't diagnose before seeing the patient. Tell me what you need on the call and I'll build the offer around it.
Have you worked with my kind of brand before?
Most likely. Eight years working in California has covered personal brands, business and tech, beauty, narrative, action, comedy, product placement and commercial work. I'm comfortable across genres, and if something genuinely isn't in my wheelhouse, I'll say so on the first call rather than learn on your budget.
Can you work with my existing team?
Absolutely. I've worked alongside graphic designers, editors, strategists, producers, directors, founders and assistants. Slotting into a system you already have is normal for me, not a special request.
Do you outsource the work?
When a project needs more hands, or bigger ones, I bring in shooters, directors and editors from a network I've built and worked beside for years. What I don't do is hand your footage to an anonymous overseas edit farm and forward back whatever lands. Every frame that leaves here has been through me.
How fast can I get it back?
Fast turnaround is what I specialise in, and we build the schedule around your date. Some edits genuinely take longer and I won't cut corners on the work to hit an arbitrary deadline, but if it's a shoot and handoff job where you just need the raw footage, you'll have it the next day.
