ABOUT WILL KNAPP

Whether part of a team, or working solo, my production philosophy begins with identifying the audience and honing the concept to best communicate the message. My clients can't always oversee every detail, and appreciate getting good results without a lot of creative hand-holding.

DIRECTOR

I enjoy being part of a team, working closely with Producer, DP, Gaffer, Sound, Talent, Editor and Post-Supervisor. Adept at managing a variety of creative personalities, recognizing and maximizing their best abilities. Working solo, I like to create engaging content from start to finish: Pre-production, running camera and sound, handling lights and set-design, and directing crew and talent. In the post-production phase, I can be the Editor, the Colorist, and handle graphics, titles and effects.

VIDEO EDITOR

Fast-working and dependable, with a good sense of rhythm and musical timing. I have decades of experience on projects for the entertainment and music industries, producing and editing hundreds of short-form projects.
