Skills
Summary
After studying acting at Carnegie Mellon and working as a broadcast journalist in Japan and Alaska in the US Navy, I relocated to San Francisco to finish a degree in cinema at San Francisco State University. I developed and managed multiple live motion production studios, and began freelance directing and cinematography for commercials and independent projects. This became the basis for my creative partnership as Ransom & Mitchell. Our approach combines cinematic lighting with distinctive scenery and digital artistry to create our brand of magical realism. We love working with agencies applying our distinctive techniques to create award-winning campaigns. By seamlessly weaving our photography, digital artistry, CG, and motion skills, all ideas no matter how ludicrous, surreal, or far-fetched, are attainable. Specialties: Directing, DP, Editing, Film Production, Photography, CG, Digital Artistry
