The Nature Conservancy, California. I worked with TNC California staff for over a year to design and organize hundreds of nature photos, maps, graphics and feedback forms to construct its first-ever web presence.

“Solo from the Pole” Working with National Geographic and the Shaklee Corporation, I produced the interactive, “Solo from the Pole” web site, featuring an arctic exploration of the North Pole by Will Steger. Pictures, sounds, and words were exchanged regularly between the explorer and web visitors, who followed and became part of the event.

The Leakey Foundation. To mark the centennial of Louis Leakey’s birth, I was asked to document the legacy of famed anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey through video interviews with colleagues and collaborators. The project provided insight into central issues that foster breakthrough moments in paleoanthropological research.

TEDxMarin. I was the video producer for this multi camera event. TEDTalks is a combination of video and live speakers brought together to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. http://tedxmarin.com/

Pachamama – Sun of the Andes of the Aymaras and the Quechuas, Rain from heaven, flight of condors,
When I see you again my hair will be like the Antisana. Taita Inti, Pachamama, I am your son,
On my knees I implore you for my happiness. Where are you my brothers, glory of the earth,
Mayas and Incas, those who are no more?

Jazz in the Neighborhood – The Bay Area is home to many incredible jazz musicians who’ve devoted their lives to developing their craft and attaining the highest artistic levels.

Video Producer

Richard Jett

Companies, organizations, products, and services...all have stories to tell. Video offers the opportunity to connect emotionally with viewers and make a great first impression. At heart, I am a storyteller, and yet I am fully aware of the practical and logistical needs of a business and its clients. One of my strengths is helping to “find the story” and then creating a vivid and compelling video efficiently and succinctly but one with “heart and passion”

Recommendations:

"I had the great pleasure of working with Richard this past summer when he made a video about my artwork and me. Richard made everything easy and his editing skills were perfect. I found Richard finely attuned to the work itself, to how I expressed myself and what the important factors were in making a great video. He even noticed the music I was playing and took off from there for the background music for my video. I have had great success in using my video to promote my work online and as a means of providing information to galleries. I would recommend Richard to anyone."

“Jett fully harnesses the power of the medium that can only be told by a visual storyteller.”
Teri Cundall, Propville Directory, propville.com

“Jett is a dream to work with! He really understands how to tell a visual story. I’d worked with Richard over many decades where he created stunning visuals as a Director of Photography on high end commercials… so I knew his capabilities well … yet, he still surpassed my expectations … giving his full attention even though it was a smaller job, being flexible and willing to make this a terrific piece, at a very fair price and with little notice. Best of all, there’s no diva personality that often goes along with a true master of the art”

“I've know RIchard since 1992 and had the pleasure of working with him on numerous projects for company's like Yahoo! and Levi's. Richard is a creative talent, highly organized, has gobs of experience and brings energy and creativity to everything he does. In particular I notice that Richard is usually a step or two ahead of the technological curve.”
