RESUME OF RICHARD YEATS

QUALIFICATIONS
A strong work ethic is what I bring to the table, along with a background in pre-planning and execution of events that range from a single camera remote to multi-camera and multi-path fieldwork. Most of my background is in news and sports events coverage although I do have experience (5 years) as a producer of corporate and industrial video.

Presently working as freelance Producer/Director, Camera Operator, Audio Technician.

Handle Pre-Production and Production of single and multiple cameras live and live to tape events. Crewing and equipment arrangements, working with clients, handling of location and studio management. Most work was industrial events such as employee meetings for companies such as Enron, Dynegy, Halliburton, and Cambridge Energy Resource Associates.

1997-2000 Freelance Audio Technician and Camera Operator.
After leaving NBC NEWS I returned to Houston and worked freelance for several production companies in Houston such as SIRIUS VIDEO, VIDEO PERSPECTIVE, TVP and others. This gave me a chance to not only come 'home' but also to get back to 'hands on' experience.
