Jess Gibson
Cinematographer, Director & Editor
I’m based in Portland, Oregon and have been making short form digital content, commercial, documentaries and product videos for the last 18 years. I am a reliable resource and have experience traveling worldwide. I enjoy a DP role and operating camera, often both at the same time. I’m comfortable in a studio or outside in harsh weather.
I’ve been shooting and editing video since 1993. I spent my first 13 years in the field making snowboard and action sports videos. I was lucky to work five amazing years at Standard Films with Mike Hatchett and then went on to form Robot Food. My duties included producer, cinematographer and editor. Working with top athletes I traveled all over the world and got to shoot thousands of feet of 16mm film. It was a blast.
Experience
Director of Photography
I have experience with Alexa, Canon, Sony, Black Magic and RED cameras and I own a couple of these. I can also scale my production capability to hire a larger crew or use specialty equipment to get whatever footage you need.
Editing and post production
I typically edit my own material in Adobe and color with Davinci. I have experience with broadcast commercial spots and short form documentaries. I work fast using the most current digital workflow, and understand the importance of deadline-driven work. My output includes color correction, audio sweetening, and incorporating supplied assets such as music, stock footage, motion graphics and titles.
