Introduction

 

Thank you for taking the time to review my introduction. I am an Emmy award winning freelance cameraman located in the suburbs of San Francisco. My experience encompasses a wide range of video production since 1990.   My regular clients have been NBC, CBS, ABC Network news as well as most news magazine programs. What makes me different from other crews is that I also edit. That means when I shoot, I shoot with the cut in mind. That helps make postproduction a pleasurable experience. My specialties range from news magazine shows, network news, live remotes, high-end corporate productions, multi camera shoots, documentaries, Helicopter aerials (Including FLIR systems), travel videos, Video News Releases, and more. Some of my outstanding attributes are lighting interviews and my handheld work.

 

Steve Ligtelyn Productions can offer a complete turnkey production from field to post production. I only work with network quality producers with many years of experience in corporate video production as well as broadcast. Whether you want a simple Video News Release or a complete video production Steve Ligtelyn Productions can take on your project. Also our track record can speak for itself, Steve Ligtelyn Productions has never failed to meet our deadline obligations and has always completed a project within budget.

 

I currently have 3 camera packages including the BVW-D600 Betacam SP camera, which is still the camera of choice for most of the major broadcasters.  Because of my technical background, I always maintain a high level of performance from my cameras. I also have a very extensive light kit with Chimera light banks; 6 Lectrosonics wireless mics complement the audio kit.

 

I am professional and courteous. I can easily handle impatient CEO’s, kids, deadline pressure and sensitive issues. I always return phone calls and pages promptly and do my best to give you immediate answers to your scheduling needs. I have worldwide travel experience and my equipment is flight ready. I live only 30 minutes away from 3 international airports. I can be dispatched anywhere in the world 24 hours a day.  I’m a member of the, San Francisco Bay Area Press Photographers Association, IBEW local 45 and NABET local 51& 53 for ease of movement in union venues.

 

I look forward to working together on your next production.
