Jim in Touring Video Truck

Hard to believe I have been running my own business for a decade now. 2000 was the year I ventured into the freelance world and it has been a most rewarding experience!  My goal was to broaden my work expreiences and grow my netwwork of colleagues and clients.  Over the last 10 years, I’ve worked on productions in the far corners of the world and my database has grown exponentially – I consider myself a fortunate person!

Speaking of fortunate, it has been quite a busy start to the year:  In  January, I did my first show at the CES in Las Vegas (I was available as the shows at the Detroit Auto Show where I have worked most of the last decade have cancelled).  Directing for Carlstrom productions, we did a reprise of a show for NVIDIA in San Jose last year. Video control was in an HD truck provided by Touring Video. Show was streamed in 720HP:    (Click on photo to view webcast) .

The following weeks included productions for HP in Santa Clara and Boeing in Seattle. The Boeing show also included 3D clips of the 1st flight of the new 787 Dreamliner – can’t wait to fly on that plane!

In March I was in Orlando with Creative Technology and TBA Productions directing the Walmart Annual Sales Meeting. Later in March, I directed a designer eye-wear fashion show for Sparks in New York. (Sames as last year, see Eyes on New York.)

April was busy with a Hyundai Dealer meeting in Montgomery, Alabama; Facebook Developer meeting in San Francisco and for the 5th year, the Milken Global Institute in Beverly Hills.
