About Me: Sam Gansfield
Welcome to One Thought Beyond Pictures, my creative outlet for film-making and photography. I'm Sam Gansfield, and I'm based in beautiful Denver, Colorado.
Here's a glimpse into my background:
Awards and Recognition: I've been fortunate to have some of my directing and cinematography work recognized, including the Blowup Film Festival Official Selection award for my short film "Elements," the Shootout Boulder Silver Spur award for my short film "Career Day," and a feature in the 4 Points Film Project for the short “Joules,” in which I was the cinematographer.
Educational Foundation: I am a graduate of Colorado Film School, where I majored in Writing and Directing and worked on several award-winning student films. I also did additional study of editing, cinematography, and acting.
Technical Skills: I've delved deep into many technical aspects of film-making, in particular specializing in the editing program Adobe Premiere Pro, in which I have further advanced certification. I bring further specialization through programs such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition, and I’ve worked with specialized cameras such as the Red Digital Cinema camera and the Matterport 3d Camera.
Teaching Experience: Sharing my love for video production, I've also had the pleasure of teaching others and passing on what I've learned. I’m especially proud of an 8 week after-school program in which I taught elementary school students the fundamentals of video production.
At One Thought Beyond Pictures, I'm committed to the art of visual storytelling. Join me on this creative journey where we always strive to go beyond the ordinary in every project.
