HD Pros

Brad Martin
Austin, Texas
As an outdoor videographer, I have gained a respect and love of nature and wildlife. With more than 10 years as a professional, I provide value and skill in getting the job done right, on-time, and at budget. I graduated with an RTV degree from Sam Houston State, in Huntsville, Texas, with a specialty in production and postproduction of TV and video programs. Having worked with networks like ESPN2, Outdoor Channel, and VS, I have a good understanding of the need to provide good work and find the little things that make a story pop. Watch the reel>>
