Clear Skies (For Takeoff)

I promised myself that by the end of this year I would start something that I felt good about and had a passion and talent for.  I’ve been dilligently working this whole year to make my dream a reality.

For over a decade I’ve worked in the broadcast film and television industry as a Producer and Post-Production Supervisor.  I’ve worked on all kinds of projects; independent films, docs, talk shows, reality shows, webisodes.  I’ve received two Emmy Awards for my work and am now ready to take my skills and experience and share them in a new way.

I decided to follow my passion and launch Open Sky Video.

It’s a place for folks like you to get comfortable and confident creating awesome video projects.  Need to learn editing with iMovie or Final Cut?  Are you ever stumped at how to embed a You Tube video on your site?  Can’t figure out your new video camera settings?  I am thrilled to help out in any way I can and be a calming presence as you move through the production process and get up to speed with the technical side of things.

I study Buddhism and this helps guide me in my life and of course my work.  Meditation and yoga are a big part of my life.  Other passions are photography, movies, art, travel, nature, health and wellness.

My hope is to approach clients of all skill levels with a sense of openness and awareness.  Together we can create, aspire, and tap into our vast unlimited potential.  The open sky is within ourselves.  If we allow space and quiet, things do get clearer and all is possible.

If you are someone who wants to be inspired, get motivated and develop the expertise you need to create your own multi-media projects, I invite you to check in with my blog where I’ll be sharing video clips, photos, articles, creative ideas and tips.  I’m excited to be a vibrant resource for you.  Take a look at this amazingly powerful two-minute video.  Its called The Girl Effect.  It was produced by the Nike Foundation along with other leading humanitarian organizations.  It is truly inspiring.

..

It’s one way of getting an important message out there just using words and music.  Video is a knockout way to tell a story.

Look forward to capturing, sharing, uploading and connecting with you.

To reaching skyward while still remaining grounded.
