About Us
Name: Steven M. Savanyu
Location: Hudson/Macedonia
Position: Executive Producer
Specialty: Audio, Video and Lighting
With
over
forty-five
years’
experience
in
the
audio/video
industry,
I
bring
a
wealth
of
creative
knowledge
to
make
certain
that
your
project
is
a
success.
Coming
from
an
educational
background,
I
can
teach
and
explain
highly
technical
topics,
to
non-technical
users,
in
an
easy
to
understand
way.
I
apply
this
skill
in
the
production
of
corporate
/industrial
videos,
multimedia
programs,
live
streamed
events
and
in
the
creation
of
interactive
learning content.
As
a
professional
audio
and
video
engineer/producer,
my
personal
experience
includes
major
events
(presidential
debates,
inaugural
balls,
concerts,
and
festivals),
live
sound
production,
location
recording,
video
acquisition,
audio
and
video
editing,
script
writing,
camera,
directing,
and
other production aspects. I can produce, direct, and edit corporate/industrial multimedia programs that get the message across in a concise manner.
Detail
driven
and
organized,
I
have
the
skills
and
ability
to
manage
large
multi-discipline
projects
and
bring
them
to
completion
on
time
and
on
budget.
Being
in
a
technology
driven
industry,
I
keep
abreast
of
current
technological
trends,
products
and
techniques
that
can
enhance
a
production
or
project.
In
addition,
I
am
a
college
level
instructor
(audio
and
video
production),
accomplished
public
speaker/presenter
and
have
experience
in
commercial marketing, product management and marketing management.
I
offer
a
hands-on
master
class
presentation,
“The
Physics
of
Microphones”.
This
in-depth
hands-on
workshop
covers
how
microphones
work
and
how
to
apply
them
in
studio,
live
sound,
theatrical
and
film/video
applications.
Along
with
recording
and
broadcast
schools
nationwide,
I
have
taught
this
workshop
at
AES
(Audio
Engineering
Society),
SBE
(Society
of
Broadcast
Engineers)
and
I.A.T.S.E.
