I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.  I am a freelance Technical Manager, Video Engineer and Video Controller specializing in all forms of Entertainment, Corporate, Reality, and Sports Production.

I have worked extensively with 4K and HD-SDI Flight Packs, Mobile Units, Studio Applications, and in Reality Show environments.  My understanding of video systems, audio, intercom, data communications, Microwave (Wireless), computers, and Fiber Optics is intense and wide-ranging. 

 

I understand budgets and can make the most of the equipment you choose.  I know when to speak up and when to shut up.   When you need someone to detail the technical benefits or disadvantages of a particular camera, video component, or audio device I can give you rock solid advice based on experience and research.  If I do not have the answers I will seek them out with vendors and manufacturers so you can speak with technical accuracy.

 

I work with the rental equipment of your choosing and can guide or assist in the selection of the right components to deliver the production sophistication you seek.  I have extensive experience with wireless camera systems as well as most brands and models of professional video and digital cinema cameras, RoboCams, plus POV and prosumer variations.

 

Changes do not faze me and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and pitch in when the production needs help.  I make sure all of the equipment is set to the proper standards and communicate extensively with post-production to make sure they are getting delivery of the media in the correct codec with accurate time code.

 

I would be happy to meet with you so I can detail how I can save your production money and allow you to focus on the creative and business side of the production and while effortlessly delivering a technically exquisite show.

 

Below is a copy of my credits for your review.

 

Thanks,

 

Wayne Norman
