About me
Hello! I am a freelance videographer/editor with 6+ years of video production experience stemming from formal education, vocational training and professional experience. I have been a freelance videographer/editor for the past 3+ years and Graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film,Video and New Genres from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2015. Matthew's Senior Thesis film at UW-Milwaukee "Frame of Mine" went on to screen at several film festivals across the country including but not limited too Chicago Horror Film Festival, East Lansing Film Festival and Milwaukee Short Film Festival.I have had an abundance of experience working on a variety of different projects including short films, live event videography and various commercial/corporate projects. My previous roles on past projects and productions include Videographer/editor for Sofar Sounds Milwaukee helping them create dozens of video from their live music performances and shows. I also had the opportunity of working as the Director of Photography/Post-Production Supervisor for the 3rd season of a local Milwaukee TV cooking show and as Wedding Videographer for Just Hitched Wedding Films. As an individual skilled with a wide variety of video production and post-production experience, I know I have the skills to craft creative and thoughtful visual stories that will help to further and support the mission and goals of my clients. To see a complete portfolio of my work I encourage you to visit my website (mrsimonis.com).
I pride myself in being knowledgeable in all phases of production & post-production, but it is important not end up as the colloquial phrase goes “Jack of all trades, master of none”. This is why for the past couple of years I have specifically developed my skills to become a master storyteller. Being a great storyteller isn't just simply being a creative individual (thought it is a minimum qualification), you have to understand all the different elements and structures that go into crafting an idea/story. Using storytelling tools along with my raw creative talent, I can take a client's project that may have start with “just a simple idea” through all phases of video production to craft a video with true creative fire power. With my understanding and passion for visual storytelling, and experience in video production I am confident that I can help to bring your vision to life.
