Of course, experience matters in production… it matters in every aspect of business. Jason Furrate began his career in 1978 as an editor. This position is the best teacher in the field of production because you either have the materials to put together a strong video or you don’t.
Jason voiced his concerns early on while working on local television commercials. His boss sent him out to direct and get all the shots needed for editing. The scripts were written by salespeople, and it was not their strong suit. He learned to write and then how to do the planning. (FYI project management is called “producing” in the production business.)
When you do a production with Media Furrate, you are with a team that has seen over 12,000 videos put together. Jason is prepared when he arrives on your shoot, and he is editing the video in his mind as the production is taking place. Doesn’t everyone do this? The answer is no.
There are many great shooters who as are masterful with light and camera motion. Their video does not edit together well because they are only focused on each clip as a stand-alone shot. You will never hear the phrase, “We can fix it in post-production” on a Media Furrate production.
Jason is committed to constant process improvement. He stays on top of the latest technology and techniques. He has mentored over 100 college graduates while working at broadcast stations and cable providers during his career. This continues at Media Furrate. The crew member are all recent graduates who are getting hands-on guideance and are all advancing in their skills.
When you have a production challenge, Jason will likely have the answer based on experience. If he doesn’t, he will get the proper answer for you. He can be reached at (225) 317-4233. Feel free to text or call.
