Gearshift.TV has opened a new High Definition Green Screen Studio in Fairfax, VA just off the Campus of George Mason University. It has been designed to be a cost effective way to produce short video clips, sales pitches, tutorials or the next hilarious viral video for YouTube. Shooting on the green screen allows us to customize the look and feel of your video to match your marketing style.

Rarely do the 3 Super Bowl Trophies earned by the Washington Redskins travel away from their home at Redskins Park. So when I got the call to be the photographer for an http://www.easterns.com/ sponsored photo shoot with the Lombardi Trophies and Redskins fans, I was thrilled.
Baby James has landed the cover of he Gearshift business card. This will be a collector's edition so be sure to ask for a Gearshift business card when you see us out in the field.

LeBron James, DeAngelo Hall & LaVar Arrington were in the VIP pit at Josephine in Washington DC. Dave & Ray http://www.daveandray.com/ were the promoters for the event and on Wednesday nights, Josephine is the place to be. Gearshift provides freelance photography and video production services to night clubs, lounges and restaurants in the DC area.

There is no substitute for good work. If you provide a good product then you will be hired over and over. Gearshift has used this philosophy since its inception in 2002. Check out what we did last year with Scion's Annual Conference in Wintergreen.
I was contracted by ComcastSportsnet as the Stage Manager/Floor Director for "O What a Night", a Tribute to Andy Ockershausen, a DC Legend in broadcasting and sports. This event was presented by Washington Post Live. It was an honor to not only be working but to be a part of a great event for a great man who gave so much back to DC, Broadcasting and Sports!

I had a great time working with Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals and Chris Cooley and Antwaan Randle El of the Washington Redskins. As usual the commercial shoot was light hearted and mostly unscripted. Check out the GearshiftHD channel on YouTube to see some footage in HD http://www.youtube.com/gearshifthd
How adorable is this little valentine. Gizelle adds another pose to her portfolio of fantastic shots by Daddy. This shot was taken with the 50mm 1.4 lens, the best lens ever.
Antawn Jamison of the Washington Wizards is the newest member of the Easterns team. He was on location to sing the famous "jingle" for a new HD commercial. Gearshift has been working with Easterns for over 4 years now to create commercials, web videos & photography.
Gearshift captures yummy imagery. For your event, product or project, consider Gearshift Productions.
I have been capturing the DC nightclub and restaurant scene since 2002. The biggest owners and promoters in the city call on Gearshift to capture great video and photography of their events and venues. Marc Barnes, Taz & Masoud run several successful clubs and lounges in the district (Love, The Park and Lima). Their secret is attention to detail and a high quality establishment. Gearshift has the same philosophy.
What do you think of this version of the Mama Cesta Album Cover? I have 3 to pick from at http://gearshift.wordpress.com/
Inauguration Day was a happy day. So many people came in to the city to share their joy. It really felt electric all weekend long. Here are a few shots as I worked my way from the Lincoln Memorial towards the Washington Monument.

Washington, DC is the place for Politics, but it's also known as the East Coast Hollywood, more than 200 plus films have had scenes shot in Washington, D.C. The city has not only the political intrigue, military strategies and investigative journalism, but also all those immediately recognizable monuments and memorials. BBC London hired Gearshift Producer Don Napoleon on their recent documentary film production to assist with location shots. So if you are coming to Washington, DC to shoot a film or documentary and if you need permits, locations and more, Don is the local Fixer, Location Scout and possibly a Driver for your production.
