Story Telling through Video

“Combining video, drone imagery, and photography as well as the art of visual and sound editing, I use the world of writers, designers, and music to embellish the story whether it is a one hour documentary, web interview, music or dance performance video, or any new way that I can bring out into the world a simple uplifting or enlightening story. I always look forward to working with new stories that can be turned into inspiration.” Mike Nelson
