Here's the skinny on our 6th and final panelist for our upcoming (right around the corner) Cinematographer / DP Workshop - Wed. Feb. 19 9am-12pm (room to be announced soon!).
Please get to know Matt Wagar. Matt works for Mosher Media in Cleveland and has had a lot of valuable experience that I know you'll want to learn about.
His Bio and links to his work appear below.
I started volunteering at my local public access station at the age of 11. I learned the basics of camera operation and editing from this experience. Everything from football and basketball games, to talk shows to concerts. It was the beginning of my passion. I continued to volunteer until I was able to be employed at 16 with the tv station. I worked with them until I went to Akron University and eventually the Ohio Center for Broadcasting. During my education at OCB, I landed an
internship with the current company I work for, Mosher Media. I was hired on as an editor/shooter and quickly excelled. From there I have shot many different things. Interviews, Product Video, Promotion videos, documentaries, aerial footage and many other things. My work has been on NBC, Discovery Channel, History Channel and many local broadcasts. This profession has allowed me to travel all over the place, such as Seville, Spain, British Columbia. Canada, and many of the major US cities. My top three most memorable experiences were Shooting aerial footage of the Goodyear Blimp, flying to a truck driving across a glacier to get footage of it, and shooting cards through the hills of Spain. I have been able to experience a lot in my short career and look to many adventures ahead.

We are looking forward to our Cinematographer/DP workshop on the Malone campus, Wednesday, February 19th from 9am-12pm.

We are excited that Adam Godfrey will be joining us ... his bio, some shots of him at work and links to some of his projects appear below.
Like many people who end up in production Adam was drawn to it at an early age. Story telling, picture making, whatever you want to call it he wanted to do it. He has had the opportunity to work with a lot of talented people but the most influential occurred while enrolled in Kent State University pursuing a degree in TV/Film Production where Adam met the
Campbell Brothers. Together they collaborated on a number of feature and short film projects (The Red Skulls, Cordoba Nights, Poison Sweethearts, T82 Supersonic Tonemaker) . These projects will always Adam's favorites because he was able to work without constraints.
Adam has also had the opportunity to work with a number of great production companies like Reversal Films/KNR Productions (Echotone), Freeman Films (Skateland), Deep Water Productions (The World Without US). He has also had the opportunity to work in a lot of filming formats and while he still prefers film he is starting to come around to this "Digital" craze.
While film projects have increasingly taken a backseat in Adam's production agenda, replaced with TV spots and promo videos, they are never from from his mind or his heart. Today Adam splits his time working on regional TV commercials and product videos in Columbus, OH for Jumpstart Video Productions and national projects with Mosher Media.
