A day in the life of Jerry (in his words)
“I am definitely a hands-on producer responsible for camera, sound, editing and post-production. When I’m talking to people, I draw upon my background, especially the training I received studying for a Master of Science Degree in Ergonomics. My questioning skills enable me to find the real messages that need to be heard by the audience. I don't just want to get the video message right – I want to really open up our clients' eyes to the full potential of the medium. Going beyond what the client asks us to do is important to me both personally and professionally.”

Jerry on Take One
"It's the sharing of experiences – you’re not out on a limb…. The skills within the team enable you to be confident that you'll deliver a fantastic product…. We’re forever trying to push the limits of what we do. Then there’s the practical aspect of doing the job. I film all over the world from Lithuania to China, Africa and India. I often see things that the public don't get to see and then I bring the message back to them. There’s a great team here…. I will sometimes look at the work we've done for a client and reflect that the most effective questions I've asked, in say, a hard-hitting documentary are the simplest ones, even the silliest ones…. But they get the right answer…."
