Oasis Studios / Oasis Media
Founder | Creative Director | Production & Post-Production
Founded in Reno as Oasis Studios, the company grew into a full-service production and post-production operation serving regional and national clients, including Discovery Channel, NBC Sports, and MTV Sports.
With a team of approximately 11, we combined traditional broadcast production with emerging digital technologies, including professional online and non-linear editing, ProTools digital audio, Quantel Paintbox graphics, 3D animation, and early web and interactive content development.
As founder and creative director, I was hands-on throughout the process, from concept development, art direction, and production to editing, graphic design, and final delivery. I also edited thousands of hours of digital video for clients of all types, and managed the people, technology, client relationships, and business operations that kept it all moving.
Oasis operated during a remarkable transition in the production industry, when expensive, specialized equipment was rapidly giving way to computer-based creative tools. Staying competitive meant continually learning, investing, and adapting.
It was an ambitious and rewarding chapter of my career, bringing together creative storytelling, emerging technology, and the challenges of building and running a production company.
