Our Philosophy:
Effective visual storytelling isn’t done by following the “numbers,” by finding that secret camera setting, or by that one lighting setup. Instead, creating powerful images that support your story begins by understanding the “whys” behind the “hows”. By teaching you the “whys” we aim to empower you to grow throughout your career so you don’t get stuck in one way of doing things or get left behind on dated technology.
We are here to keep you stay on the smart side of filmmaking.
Tim Park
Tim’s aspirations to be a filmmaker date back to grade school, where he incorporated video into school projects every chance he got. Despite this passion, his college education was much more traditional (biochemistry/biophysics). Just as he was nearly done with his Ph.D. in neurotoxicology, he saw the light, returned to film, and never looked back.
Since then he has worked on an array of projects for clients such as National Geographic, Adidas, Runner’s World, Autodesk, Nike, and the Oregon Historical Society.
Being one who strives to “shake things up a bit,” Tim enjoys unusual hobbies such as unicycling, triathlons, skydiving, mountaineering, and scuba diving.
Ryan E. Walters
At the age of 7, Ryan began telling visual stories with his self-titled comic strip series, "The Flip Side.” Years later, this same drive for storytelling has evolved & has taken him around the world, working on projects both large and small.
For the last 25+ years, Ryan has worked on a variety of pieces, such as feature films (IMDB) and commercial work for companies like The Travel Channel, Adidas, Nike, & Autodesk. And he helmed the Red Epic for Zacuto’s Revenge Of The Great Camera Shootout.
In his personal life, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife, and likes to consider himself a connoisseur of strategy- based board games, coffee, and whiskey.
