I'm a filmmaker who has worked on numerous corporate, reality TV, youtube channels, documentary and even a few indie feature films, I am a music composer and on occasion, performer. I'm most interested in the subjects of travel, adventure, music and the arts, as well as cultural anthropology, philosophy and indigenous mythology. I've worked throughout the U.S., in in the jungles of Costa Rica, the wilds of Alaska, the chaotic cities and rural villages of India and along the beautiful East coast of Australia. I've been able to work in nearly every capacity on projects ranging from corporate, industrial, documentary, feature narrative and webisode. My work has been showcased at SXSW, FRIARS COMEDY FILM FESTIVAL, ALAMO DRAFT HOUSE and more places that I'm sure I have not been told about. Some projects thankfully are still "making the rounds". While much of my work consists as Director of Photography and Editor my forte' is conceptual thinking and directing people in such a way as to get the best performance from them, crew or cast.

Hello! My name is Bill Kearney, Founder and Executive Producer at LightShift Video. I use my expertise in technology, video production, and social media to find optimized and affordable ways to produce content that gets you noticed! I have a lot of experience with content repurposing, which is taking your current content and modifying it for Snapchat, Facebook, and YouTube ads (horizontal and vertical), and shortening/repurposing videos for new target markets. My goal is to increase your 1:1 personal connections with your customers without spending extra time and big budgets on creating new content. Why have one single video on YouTube when you could turn that into multiple products such as vertical Snapchat/Instagram Stories ads, 30 second Facebook ads, and even HTML5 rich media ads? A special niche I have is with software tutorials and explainer videos with the ability to capture your website or software in action at 4K 60fps and put an entire workflow together with studio quality voiceover, lower thirds, highlights, callouts, and zooms. Also, did your last video editor make you something great and run off with the source files? I'm also very good at masking out, blending, and chopping up *post-produced* content and updating all of the graphics to take an old video and make it completely different, without the need for original Premiere or After Effects project files. This all applies to audio as well. Many clients have an old company name, employee name, or outdated information they'd like to clip out of the video. I've got you covered on everything content repurposing! That's not all...with over 5 years of experience creating premium and professional video content, I'm the perfect guy for all of your video needs. I've also been a startup founder and know what it's like to try to promote a brand. You need high quality content that's relevant, timely, and frequent. Swing by my website at LightShiftVideo.com if you'd like to take a good look at our portfolio. I look forward to learning more about your needs and how we can work together to get some serious traction for your business!

After a career of over 35 years working as a tax accountant, the inner drive of photography & videography has overcome my desires of ticking and tying numbers on a daily basis. I have been passionate photographer all of my life and have leveraged that passion by using film to tell the stories of others. One of the most important early works I have achieved is capturing the story of Sergeant Major James Williams, the last known living Buffalo Soldier. His story has lead me to understand that there are others with passionate life stories that will go unknown unless someone tells that story. My works will continue to grow as I capture stories of others who have shaped our American society. An avid fisherman, I enjoy the outdoors, helping kids and capturing outdoor moments of natural beauty.
