Yes, I do stand-ups.
AP’s video products didn’t require stand-ups, so I only did them when a package deserved it—and when I could shoot solo without risking my gear or my dignity.

Here’s another long overdue post with my latest. Most of this got done from my bedroom closet-studio. Two 2-ways on Rolling Blackouts Michael Wara 8/15/20 — I’m proud of this one because it was all mine. I was solo on a weekend the morning after the rolling-blackouts so I had to book, edit, produce, and […]

I often don’t have time to voice a package, much less shoot a standup, because they want more, more, better, now! For this story, I filed […]
