TONY GIST
Videographer, Cinematographer, Photographer, Director, Producer … Creative Guy.
Commercial and video Production
The day job. After 20+ years working in video, I’ve found myself leading a team of creatives in the production of commercials, and all manor of videos for large automotive dealership group. From concept to creation, I get to work on a lot of great projects. I’ve also found myself being the main voice over guy for a majority of our content. I was even been able to add animation to my skills list, creating multiple character mascots for a few different dealerships.
Photography
The hobby. If you can tell a story at 24 frames per second, why not try to do it in one frame? While video has been my career focus, my career adjacent hobby and side hustle has always been photography. From family photos to creative portraits, the experience of capturing the image is often just as important as the final look.

Short Films
Yup, another hobby. What can I say, I’m a creative through and through. It’s about more than just ‘telling stories’ as most people like to say. Sure, I may tell stories, and enjoy it, but I want those stories to say something. I want to make people feel something. Films are an amazing way to do just that. I’ve done a few things here and there through the years, but with any luck I’ll have a lot more opportunity to expand on this hobby in the years to come.
