Meet the Merlin Productions Team!
Paul
is a self-taught DP with a lifetime of experience. His background in theater,
art and music give him a strong foundation and discerning eyes and ears. In the
late 70’s, he worked in LA in a live theater shooting video and designing and
recording audio programs (including original music underscores). During this
time he continued to develop his lighting and audio skills.
In the early 80’s he founded Merlin Productions and began producing
short videos for local hospitals, schools, and corporations. Over the years he
discovered that his true calling was shooting.
He values his experiences as a producer because they have made him a
better shooter. (You can never get enough B-Roll). Since 1990 he’s been shooting for CBS, ABC, MSNBC, Discovery Channel, History Channel, CNN, CNNsi, Procter
& Gamble, GE, NCR, and a host of other broadcast and corporate
entities.
Kelley began his video career in the mid 1980’s while attending Wright State University. His first job in the industry was as an assembly editor for a local cable insertion operation. He quickly worked his way up to senior producer and began writing, shooting and posting a variety of projects. He joined Merlin Productions in 1991 and has since shot hundreds of hours of tape for both cable and broadcast networks. Kelley is best known for his ability to obtain interesting and unique camera perspectives in a wide range of challenging environments and conditions. Whether he is standing his ground against a curious (and hungry) Komodo dragon or interviewing a fortune 500 CEO, you can count on Kelley’s diverse experience, enthusiasm and dedication to make your project a success.
Senior Audio Specialist Curt Britton brings 30 years of audio, electronics, and entertainment experience to the field. When he’s without a microphone, fader, or TelePrompter in his hand, you'll find Curt behind the board, mixing melody at local festivals and clubs, in the recording studio, or at the bench re-building vintage vacuum tube electronics. As with the rest of the Merlin crew, Curt also plays music: the bass guitar and other instruments.
