Sharpshooter Media's Interests
General
Ah, ART. Before I picked up a camera, I'd capture my world with pencil and paper. It was that point of view that naturally led me to an initial career in graphic design. Although I now shoot and edit for a living, art will always be my first love.
"Many hats." I work mainly as a camera operator, both in-studio and on location, but when called for, I edit, direct, produce, write, act, cross, sing, dance, grip, light, boom, scout, A.C., D.P., P.A., A.D., cook, cater, craft service waiter, illust

About me: "Sharpshooter". As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary, a sharpshooter is "one who is highly proficient at shooting" (so in a way, I guess you could say I'm a video "hitman"). I currently freelance as an editor and cameraman for a wide variety of broadcast outlets, as well as for small, personal media projects and have shot and/or edited for the following productions:
"Tackling Design"-(A&E) * "One Nation Under Hip-Hop", "Reventon", "Crash & Yasmin Uncensored", "Vivo"-(Telemundo/NBC-Universal) * "Profiles In Courage"-(KBTV Online) * "Rose Parade 2007 & 2008", "Crafters Coast to Coast/That's Clever", "Outer Spaces"-(HGTV) * "Decision House"-(MyNetworkTV) * "Ebony Cover Shoot"-(Ebony/Jet.com) * "Shopping With Chefs"-(Fine Living Network) * "Hollywood Habitat for Humanity", "Knitty Gritty"-(Do It Yourself) * "Exalted", "Age Ain't Nuthin' But A Number"-(BET) * "Kings of Iraq", "1st Command"-(History Channel) * "The CNN Turnaround"-(CNN) * "Strictly Sex with Dr. Drew"-(Discovery Health) * and "Weekend Vibe"-(NBC)
HOWEVER...my goal is to DIRECT! Rock a few music videos, shoot a few shorts, then of course, work my way up to my own feature. I recently completed work on my first documentary (take a peek at the trailer inside!) and am currently in the pre-production phase of a unique web series (so stay tuned!). I also continue to take on the occasional graphic design gig as art is (and will always be) my first love. CD covers, flyers, brochures, logos...if you can dream it...I can draw it (hey, since you're here, g'head and peep some of my work in the "Art" album on my PICS page).
And as for the "Whisky Wallace" moniker? Merely a stuck nickname that eventually morphed into a semi-psuedo-quasi "stage name" that actually helped me stand out in search engines (try Googling "David Freeman" and you'll see what I mean). I haven't quite figured out my "style" as of yet, but if my background and influences are any indication of what that might be, I guess I'll be a force to reckon with. Ya know...(and I say this with the utmost of sincerity), you just might wanna keep an eye on me.
