Scion Hires Gearshift..Again!



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.

This year the event was held at the National Harbor on the Potomac. The venue was the incredible Gaylord Hotel and Conference Center. This year's video was shot in 720p HD. It should be released in April.

Audi Hires Gearshift for Photography Because of Google




I love Google.

"How did you find me?" I asked. "Google" she replied.

She was searching for a Photographer in the Reston area and several popped up but the Gearshift portfolio is what sold her.

If you need creative photography or video to help capture an event then consider Gearshift.

Nightclub Photographer in DC

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.

Great Legal Marketing Seminar Captured by Jim Folliard and Foster Web Marketing

I had all of my cameras rollin' this past weekend to capture the abundance of information that is shared by Ben Glass http://www.benglasslaw.com/, Tom Foster http://www.fosterwebmarketing.com/ and Rem Jackson http://www.toppractices.com/. The weekend seminar is generally for lawyers and helping them grow their practice but the topics discussed apply to anyone who wants to market thier business better. The job of Gearshift was to capture the entire 16 hour event of every speaker. I had to also shoot in HD for a promo video for the next conference and set up a second HD camera in the Green Screen room to get individual lawyer videos for their websites.
