Dave Hall
Dave's life behind the viewfinder began at age fifteen, when he inherited his grandfather's large format still camera. This led to his early mastery of shutter speeds, f-stops, depth of field, and composition. His specialty quickly became time-lapse and multiple exposure photography. As a kid, Dave cut his teeth making 8mm movies and later 4-track audio recordings of his musician friends. When the camcorder was invented, it was the perfect blend of his previous talents, combining photography, 8mm film techniques with audio recording, so he switched to video and has never looked back. As a professional cameraman since 1986, he's videotaped well over 500 weddings, and worked on corporate projects for AT&T, NJPAC, Honeywell, Exxon, Merrill Lynch and M&M Mars. He produced Camera Command, and was responsible for all aspects including videography, sound, lighting, editing and DVD authoring. Equal to his love for videography and photography is his passion for sound recording and lighting.
