I've worked in the video storytelling business, as a documentary producer, and as a news reporter/producer for 35 years. I've worked with many gifted video photographers and editors and none are better than Douglas Burgess. Actually, no one comes close. He is the best in the business of video storytelling. In fact the National Press Photographer's Association selected Douglas Burgess as the single best in the country at his craft not once, but twice. He's won 50 plus Emmys if my memory serves me right. His work is extraordinary. What he produces always exceeds the already high expectations. You'll see what I mean when you hire him. He is an artist in every sense of the word. He is gifted, and he's great to work with. A team player, he is engaging, and he is driven to make projects beautiful and powerful. Douglas Burgess delivers! I couldn't recommend anyone more.

Doug recently photographed and documented a story for a client our company had developed a relationship with. Our clients were more than pleased with the experience and result and we anticipate having Doug on many more future projects. He has an innate ability to capture the human condition very naturally and without hesitation. One of the best in the biz!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing can vary a bit from project to project, my standard day rate for broadcast and corporate is 800-1000 which includes all gear and my services. However I'm always willing to work with clients to get the job done.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process begins with a meeting to assess the needs of my client and what their vision is and how to achieve it. We decide on a production and editing schedule, if necessary, sign a contract and move on to the fun part, bringing the vision to life.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied Broadcast Journalism in college, and I have over twenty years experience in broadcast, documentary and entertainment production. I'm trained and experienced in the use of multiple camera and editing systems, including Canon, Nikon and Sony broadcast dslr and cinema cameras, and Avid, Sony, Final Cut and Adobe Premiere Pro non linear editing programs.
