Carefully planned pre-production is the key to satisfying video production and is the foundation of Catherine’s work. By collaborating with her client, together, they develop a solid program outline, and key points emerge as the basic structure of the video. Frequently a client will come with video footage already recorded. In this case, Catherine works with her client to develop an editing approach and narrative that weaves the video footage into a cohesive, informative program. See Programs.
Catherine’s documentaries are based on a style she has developed throughout her career as a professional photographer.
