Through his company, House of 8 Media, Mike enjoys contract work as a DP or B Camera Op for commercial, documentary, and narrative digital content ranging from TV commercials, docu-style brand videos, short-feature films, infomercials, and especially live events. He thrives under the pressure of live streaming as a single crew member running multiple-cameras, audio mixing, projections, on-screen graphics, and switching cameras....sometimes all at the same time. As a department lead, Michael nurtures the spirit of ensemble in a positive, fun, safe environment with demonstrated experience at advanced A/V Setups and successful crew engagement while maintaining a peaceful, enjoyable workplace even under the most time-restrictive, public circumstances. In conversation, Michael keeps great notes. In preparation, he is an eagle scout. During the shoot, Michael is a knight in arms who uplifts the crew and always makes the client happy.
