 Dart- in his own words...
 
"I was born in Virgina Beach,VA on December 13, 1978, but spent most of my life in Pinehurst.
 

In 1985, I remember my parents buying a home video camera. That was my first experience with a camera.

I remember everywhere we went, little crowds would gather around, because at that time, you only saw camcorders on a movie set,

or a news station.

 
My next taste of video was for my high school morning TV Productions class. I realized at that time how powerful of a tool it was to
be able to make your own videos. I attened NC State University, and completed getting a beoadcasting degree at UNCP.
 
After graduating, I worked for the university for 3 years after, making promo videos under the Provost. After that I started a
videography Business called, Von Master Video. Shortly after, I went to the Rosenblumtv Video Bootcamp. It was there that I
learned a few valuable skills that took the place of years of study.
 
I went on to spend the next 6 years creating a diverse body of videos. Promotional, live events, weddings, music videos,
were a few types.
 
In January of 2016, my business was aquired by a local Raleigh company, and I just finished my
first year as the lead Videographer at a company called Imaginovation."

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution. How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?


Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
