Turning full time to film David has developed a reputation for incredible results. Pushing the limits using creativity and common sense, David has amassed an incredible skill set through experience and experimentation. Sets have been constructed in the desert in total isolation…. and David has built sets literally underwater…holding his breath while hanging pictures on the wall at the bottom of a pool. Stunts, special effects, green screen, puppetry, ¼ scale modeling, remote control filming, and 100’s of stage builds have all passed through Dave’s hands. Compelling and exciting creations have been brought to life inspired from a lifetime of extraordinary experiences traveling and working with artists from all over the world.
