Chris Dodson

• Born in Montreal in 1969, I first discovered the art of photography and movie making at the age of twelve, and have not put the camera down since. Growing up in Montreal for most of my life, I studied at Concordia University for 5 years, Majoring in Cinema - Film Production (78 credits
• Incomplete due to working full time in Video Production). While studying at Concordia, I worked at the Universities Audio/Visual Department and was also working for a video production company as the principle editor, working on linear and non linear editing systems for the private and corporate industries. I continued to do so for the following 10 years, gaining valuable experience in the job market. In 1997, I decided to start my own company and founded CADimage Productions (www.cadimage.ca). Now approaching its 20th year, CADimage Productions has been providing high quality Commercial and Corporate Photo and Video Services, in and around the Montreal regions. My specialties and strengths are primarily DSLR Capture and Video Editing; being able to visualize a concept and plan the process with proper, well organized file management and finally executing a quality product, based on budget and time frame. My experience has taught me that working with projects with hundreds, even thousands of assets, can get very complicated, very fast, and that proper organization is the key to a successful project.
