I am an experienced Digital Imaging Technician based in Vancouver, BC, Canada with a background as a Video Engineer. With in-depth technical knowledge in digital cameras, camera-support gear and camera-to-post workflows, I have the knowledge, ability, and experience to create custom LUTs and live colour-grade on set. My goal is to always uphold the DoP’s creative vision from Production to Post.

Data Management
Faulty & corrupt media can cost production tens of thousands of dollars to recover or worse… a reshoot.
That’s why I keep a minimum of 3 copies of each camera & sound card which have all been verified by an industry standard checksum.
I have a 100% success record, with no media ever lost on any project I worked on.
On-Set Live Colour Grading
RAW & Log give almost unlimited color flexibility to the Colourist in post, but without a L.U.T. as a blue-print, the cinematographer’s vision can easily get lost in translation.
With up-to-date technical knowledge in Red, Arri, and Sony’s color science, I aid the cinematographer in fulfilling his/her vision by creating and managing L.U.T.s / ‘looks’ on set, and ensure those transition seamlessly to post.
Gear Maintenance & Repair
From pro cameras such as Red & Arri, to wireless video transmission of Teradek, to the wireless follow focus of Preston F.I.Z., as a Video Engineer I have taken apart and repaired countless professional camera equipment.
I bring that experience to set and aid the camera team in troubleshooting and performing emergency repairs as needed.
