About Craig:
What cameras and equipment have you worked with the most?
I mainly work with the Sony F55 and Sony A7S Mark II. The Sony F55 is primarily my A-Cam while the A7S works really well as a B-Cam. Both cameras have standard features for the industry today: 4K quality, slo-mo, etc.
Do you specialize in a specific shoot style?
While I do a bit of everything, I enjoy shooting the documentary, cinema verite, and entertainment styles. I worked with documentary styled shoots a lot with Current TV. The mini-documentaries I worked on were broadcasted on television and revolved around current events. For example, one of the series I worked on was for the 2008 election when Obama was elected as President. For entertainment, I have perfected shooting red carpet events.
How long have you been filming?
I have been filming professionally for 14 years, but if you count the first time I picked up a camera it’s been 20+ years. As a teen, I had a cheap camcorder that I would practice stop motion animation with for personal enjoyment. This led to me majoring in communications in college and taking as many film/production courses as possible!
