Aloha. I’m David Ian Fraser Marsh — Photographer, videographer, cinematographer, and author. I began my career in England when I was 17, after I quit school early. Yes, hated school. I apprenticed at Pinewood film studios where I learned how to edit film (real film in long strips and snippets called trims). Notable show: “The World At War.” for Thames TV - Team Emmy - editing. I began directing and producing direct-to-video feature films in the 80s and 90s including “The Lords of Magick” and ”Stormswept,” all told fifteen films. During that period of time I owned and ran one of the world’s pioneer digital production studios (Digital Post) in Los Angeles. I also taught film students at USC non-linear editing on George’s Lucas’ Edit Droid NLE. A few years later when a friend asked me to film his wedding, I thought to myself, way cool—especially after I’d finished the editing. So when I moved to Kauai in 2008 it turned out to be an obvious choice, to divide my professional time between writing novels and filming brides. .
Samuel. Energetic, with a strong zeal for adventure, Samuel is rarely seen without his camera slingshot.
Lana and Steven (for aerials) round out the team.
There’s an old saying: “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” It’s an Englishism, like grub, bangers and mash, Marmite sandwiches. You get the picture. So take a bite out of any of my video samples / photo galleries. Or call/ e-mail, tell me about your project.
