DIGITAL IMAGE TECHNICIAN
DIGITAL IMAGE TECHNICIAN
With over 30 years in acquisition and postproduction, I offer a rare combination: a DIT with experience in drama, comedy and documentary with credits at the sharp end of film making.
This crossover means I bring not only the technical assurance and workflow efficiency required on a fast-paced set, but also an empathy with the camera department and the edit . My goal is to protect the integrity of the footage, streamline post, and support the creative vision from shoot to cutting room.
