The "K" Team

This is a Free Agent Nation -- and your best communication providers are not "production companies", but men and women like myself who make a good living as communication specialists because they are sought out again and again by corporate clients, advertising agencies, and freelance producers and directors. You can count on these people to do a great job for you, whether you choose to work with me or not. I am purposely excluding the residence location of these people, because like me they all travel, and producers need to think in terms of qualifications, not geography. Whether you are shooting in Maine or Tijuana or Bosnia, consider using these people (as well as Dick Kindig) Back to Kindig production info page

Best cinematographer I have ever worked with. Absolutely knows his stuff, is flexible and pleasant on set, zero ego.

Awesome gear-head operator; great table top food and product shooter; versatile and very good with big sets and big lighting; national spots and features kind of guy. Plus, he has red hair!

My first choice on shoots west of the Mississippi at which I want to concentrate on the interview.

Video Cameramen with gear

 

Scott Winters, DP, video camera operator

My first choice for cameraman on those shoots east of the Mississippi where I want to concentrate on the interview. Scott has an excellent package. He does not rent out his package, and keeps it in pristine condition. Lots of Hi-def experience, excellent with jib arm camera moves and as a manager of the crew; also, very good with clients and is a very good interviewer ... about the only other camera operator I have ever met who I would trust with this responsibility. 614-847-9066, 571-9133, 800-984-3044

Matt Ball, DP, video camera operator, FCP editor

Matt is young, energetic, poised, very professional, excellent with clients. He's a lot like me except 20 years younger; a renaissance man, does it all. I like to hire him as a shooter, or as the head of the B-camera crew. 614-332-2698

Scott Handel, video camera operator Scott Handel rents equipment, and is also available to be the shooter. He has several Sony cameras, both Betacam and DVCam; a great wide lens, and lots of lighting and grip gear 614-327-3388
