David Connor
DIGITAL MEDIA PRODUCER
VIDEO / MOTION / POST-PRODUCTION
From shooting hoaxed ghost videos and composing wubby rap songs about bacon with my friends at age 12 to directing a team of students in the production of a TV show at age 21, I have always been obsessed with crafting unique experiences that leave a lasting impact.
This early passion for creating led me into the field of communications where I fostered an even deeper love for people and stories. In 2020, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Media Studies and a minor in Interpersonal Communication from the University of Akron where I was actively involved with its Emmy award-winning TV station and had the opportunity to produce my very own show promoting local artists and bands, helped create a documentary film, and worked as a video producer for the Akron Area YMCA. Through these experiences of interacting with and contributing to my community through media, I grew sure that I had truly found my calling.
After graduation, I moved across the country with nothing but my car, my passion, and a desire for adventure and opportunity. In 2021, I settled in Dallas and began working as a digital media producer for CodeStream Studios, a tech-education company that teaches coding, where I cover a wide range of responsibilities and have learned the ins and outs of all things video, graphic design, marketing, and social media. At the same time, I also got involved with Epic Productions, a wedding videography company, where I film and edit cinematic wedding videos on a weekly basis.
Falling deeper in love with my career and the impact it has on the lives of others, I launched Native Frame Productions LLC in 2022 to find more opportunities to create. With the business in motion, I've recently found new and exciting work in wedding videography, music videos, and short films in collaboration with other like-minded creators I've met along my journey.
In summary, here are the skills I've accumulated along the way:
• 8 years of experience in video production and editing.
• 4 years of experience in photography, motion graphics, and graphic design.
• 3 years of experience in social media and marketing.
In addition, I have expertise in a wide variety of digital media production software:
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere and After Effects.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition and Acrobat.
