I'm a videographer in Denver, Colorado, with a bachelor's degree in Advertising, fluently bilingual (English and Spanish), and started working in the TV commercials industry in 1998 as a Production Assistant/Field Producer in my hometown of Bogota, Colombia. I worked closely with advertising agencies, producers, and directors on more than sixty television commercial projects, eventually becoming a Field Producer, then later a First Assistant Director. From that, I'm used to working on tight deadlines and meeting the high expectations of important customers such as Coca-Cola and Colgate, Leo Burnett and McCann-Erickson.
I came to the United States in 2001 to study Video Production at the Art Institute of Colorado and completed my studies in 2004. I love to be involved in all phases of a project starting with creation of the initial concept and then moving onto directing, producing, shooting, and editing commercials, music videos, documentaries and other types of videos.
On my production company's website, you can find links to two of the music videos that I've done.
I have Final Cut Pro Studio 2 HD which includes Final Cut Pro 6, and the Adobe CS3 Production Premium Suite (includes Premiere Pro, After Effects, Adobe Soundbooth, Adobe Encore, etc). The video camera I have is a Sony HVR-Z1U which allows me to shoot in either high-definition resolution video using HDV, and standard definition. I also have a Sennheiser Evolution wireless G2 lavalier microphone.
I’m an adventurer at heart, I love to travel, I love to work in projects that allow me to use my creativity, and I also have an abundance of energy.
Here are some examples of my work:
