Tony Maples
videographer
With a keen eye for photography and a love of video, Tony spends his free time hiking while taking scenic photos to keep his camera skills in top form even when completely exhausted. Perfectionist is a phrase usually associated with stubborn individuals who aren’t satisfied unless they take the reigns and put everything into place in their own way, normally that would be a negative but with Tony it’s come in handy more times that I could count.
Riley Rohr
remote crew supervisor
Wireless remote crew supervisor Riley was the stand out of us all managing talent, equipment, lighting, and shot compositions. Doesn’t look like she’s trying hard at all does it.
Austin Carlson

2nd year Student of Commercial Music at South Plains College, Austin has helped me on several projects including the “Crazy Weather” music video. He also works as a camera operator at Southcrest Baptist Church. If its a tough gig, I call this guy.
