Filmmakers, business owners, organizers, people with something to publicize, if you're looking for a solution to your production concepts vs your overall budget - consider me your solution. At It's All Jake Videography LLC, I offer every piece of gear to make a quality video or audio project pitching your business, letting a larger audience know about your event, or bringing your screenplay to life.
I've worked on microbudget features and shorts. I've shot promotional material for companies with a corporate budgets. I shoot comedy specials myself or with a small team. I know who to call and I know how to balance your budget with what we can provide. Lights, sound, camera, and everything in between.
I also studied post-production in school and have made great use of it as a graduate. At the University of Missouri-Columbia, the digital media route has you spending a lot more time editing than they have you shooting. We don't save that for other people. It's just as much our job as the rest of the gig. I know how to mix sound to smooth the production out. I know how to color edit, so that every angle you get during a day of production match each other no matter what the sky is doing. And I never cut a project up without making sure the video and the audio don't cut at the same time because I know what makes a production look professional and not amateur.
I shoot on my Canon 5D Mark IV, my BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, and my Panasonic G85, plus a Canon Rebel III, and two little camcorders that claim to be 4K. I have three zoom lenses - two Canon f/4's, one 24-105mm, and one Panasonic Leica f/2.8 12-70mm. Plus 4 Rokinon DS 1.5T Cine lenses: 24, 35, 50, and 85mm.

As a Gaffer
Light direction is my favorite technical detail when it comes to filmmaking. Small tweaks that go unnoticed by casual watchers are some of the most impotant decisions made during the productioin process and after every project I walk away with further insight as to how to make a project shine.
As a Videographer and Editor
My equipment loadout includes three GVM monolights - One 650W bi-color LED, one 500W bi-color LED, and one 300W RGB LED which will project every color on the grid. Additionally, I carry some smaller RGB tube lamps and bulbs for the sake of complete coverage of the scene. Softboxes and stands included, plus a 6' x 5' butterfly scrim and a 2200W power station for outdoor shoots.
Multicamera setups are my bread and butter in that nothing to me is easier than coming up and propping up the cameras. I work in planned environments that I have time to set up and decorate the space. I also work under time restraints where everything needs placed and recording in less than ten minutes, I do that too.
If you need someone to run sound, I'll happily be the guy. I don't have the hours of mastery that some do, but I've worked sound on more than one feature, plus I serve as the only member of the sound team on all my own projects. I work with a Zoom H6 Handy Recorder, a Sennheiser MKE 600, and Rode Wireless Pro Lavaliers. I can act as sound mixer and boom operator at the same time.

As a Swing Grip/AC
Everything listed previously all to say, I can work within any department of production. As an assistant to any technical department, I all the gear specific to the job - monitors, follow focus, extension cords, stands, and I know each sector of production well enough to work not only one, but all.
