Hello, my name is James Bloniarz. I've been shooting / directing / editing videos full-time for the past 5 years or so. I've shot a lot of music-related stuff -- music videos, behind-the-scenes, and artist profile videos. I've also shot commercial, fashion, travel, and comedy videos. I own my own Sony gear: a pair of a7sii's, a handful of lenses, shotguns, lavs, filters, lights, etc. I edit in Premiere and AfterEffects. I come from a graphic design background so I am also totally proficient in Illustrator and Photoshop. I've directed videos for some high profile music clients: Rihanna, The Beatles (streaming music launch), Lil Yachty, and a dozen more mostly in the "urban" music category. But I truly love creating videos for any industry.
