Hello There! I am a 12 year veteran Filmmaker/Producer/Video Producer from the Los Angeles Area. I worked as a Video Producer/Senior Creative Producer for Boston College and created their video presence. I have also worked at Northeastern University and for Georgetown University. Since then, I have gone off on my own to produce videos for Fortune 500 businesses and a bunch of other universities. The important stuff: I am a FAA Part 107 licensed Drone Operator. As the owner of a production company, I have every production piece of gear you can hope to want. Multiple drones, 6K Camcorder, 4K Camcorder, RAW recording. Gimbals (Big and Small!). Drone operation, hyperlapse, timelapse, smooth motion, you name it. I can do it. Thanks! -Sean

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.
