We use state of the art hardware and software, inspiration and a healthy dose of experience. But in most cases, it’s rarely the most sophisticated equipment that makes a project successful and or memorable or even effective. A solid creative concept will do far more for video than the latest software, computer or camera. Michelangelo would be more effective with a children’s paint set, than a than an unskilled apprentice working with the most sophisticated video production gear.
However, if you combine all of best of the above, you can have tremendous impact. That being said, here is a partial list of hardware:

6 Years working at one of Ohio’s largest advertising agencies and 1 year working at a ‘Editing Boutique’ and 12 years independent experience!

The Important ‘Gear’:
