Tage Plantell — Silver Halide Pictures (Creative Director)
During Tage’s career, he has worked as a Video Producer, Director of Photography, Camera Operator, Steadicam Operator, Drone Operator, Audio Engineer, Video Editor, Motion Graphics Designer, Director and Producer.It was from his father that he learned the principals of exposing and composing a camera. When Tage was nine years old, he and his brother made a short film using Super 8 cameras. The film premiered in their 4th-grade classroom. The kids loved it. That’s when both Tage and and his brother Stig realized that creating visual content wasn’t only fun, but it was also something that people really connected with. They were both hooked.Although commercial photography, film production, and broadcast TV are all very similar to each other in many ways, they all have their very specific components that take time, practice, patience and experience to achieve. Tage has strived to learn it all.Tage has a bachelors degree in film production. However, it wasn’t until after working 12 years behind the camera and eight years in post-production that he felt like he finally had a solid grasp of the subtleties in a wide variety of styles and productions.At the end of the day… his goal is enjoying the work that he does while also taking the time to enjoy his lifestyle outside of work. Where is he filming now? Visit Tage’s website at http://www.silverhalidepictures.comto see what’s new.
