Wtg, MG and DP! I only have one question for the both of you:



What's it like?

But, hard work now can pay off later, so I'm keeping the faith, as well as my nose to the grindstone.

Should the show be picked up, things will happen very quickly, so depending on the schedule, I might need a team. Thankfully, I do know a couple editors ( ), another cameraperson, and even a voice-over artist, so I can help others out too. And, should this go up for an Emmy (hey, it can happen, as it has to other people), it'd be fun as hell to have friends on the red carpet with me.

Anyway, be ready to laugh. Here's the completed bio, as revised by the producer. Nothing is a lie, but it is pretty "polished".

Behold my shiny! (Put behind spoilers, because it's kinda large.)

Spoiler:

With a passion that began during her early childhood in Las Vegas, Nevada, Teresa developed the drive and creative force to bring the best professional vision to any project.

She has numerous years of professional camera and editing experience, specializing in both studio and location environments. From corporate training videos, to live news, scripted series, commercials, and promotional projects, Teresa’s skills offer a polished and refined touch.

With one of the steadiest camera hands in the business, she brings a smooth approach to ENG style shoots, and an extremely high coverage ratio, thanks to her energetic work ethic.

Teresa has a very creative mind with the keenest eye for detail, perfecting her edits down to every single frame. She takes pride in striving for the best possible product, never accepting anything less. Her disclipline can be accredited to years of personal theatrical instruction by the late Maceo Anderson (“The Cotton Club”) and late Jon Gregory (“King’s Rhapsody”), who always stressed to her the importance of passion and dedication to bring only the very best to audiences, with no excuses.

Teresa started directing and shooting 22 years ago. By the age of 18, she was hired to shoot a promotional music video for a local band, of which she accomplished a live finish by using the on-camera effects in perfect time with the music. One of the band members was a local news cameraman and was amazed at Teresa’s natural talents, and suggested that she look for fulltime work within the television field.

Taking that advice, she moved to Quad Cities, Illinois to seek immediate employment within a small market. She was instantly hired by the local NBC affiliate, and after a year was offered a much higher salary and position by WQAD, the local ABC affiliate. Her continuous exceptional creativity and passion at WQAD earned her the offer of Promotions Producer within a year, at which time she chose to relocate her talents to Hollywood, being sought after by various television and private entities over the last eight years.

Her most recent projects have included live sports coverage for a local network, two commercials and product training videos, complete with DVD authoring and package designs.

While comfortable on just about any camera, Teresa owns two professional Canon XL series standard definition cameras, various lighting kits, a professional microphone system, and specializes in editing and motion effects with Final Cut Studio 2 on her 8-Core Mac Pro.

With the high demand for only the best quality in entertainment, viewers can experience the passion and excitement that is displayed through Teresa’s work.

It's seriously not too hokey? I read it and cringe a bit, but the producer loves it, and so does Ken.

Then again, we are our own worst critics...

But, note how it kinda leaves out my 6-year hiatus at the ol' bank job. However, I did still play around with cameras and editing during that time.

I don't see anything there you haven't done. Works for me.

Crazy wonderful good news, DP.

I guess porns loss is mainstreams gain. You go girl, and when you get that Emmy I'll be watching to hear you work in thanks to "A LoT of friends!"



Ps: I have a really cute 11 year old if you are looking for that new highly compensated but still grounded in family values child star.
