DAN CONSIDINE
Here are some of my past projects and workplaces:
Most recently, I worked as a digital asset assistant for Ripley Entertainment. Yeah, the Believe it or Not company! I worked in the archive with all sorts of weird artifacts and uploaded old tapes and film into a digital format. I also help with other various video production tasks with Adobe Premiere.
When I initially did not find myself placed on an ICTV show during my first semester on campus, I decided to put together a group of people in a similar boat to create content with. When the spring semester rolled around, our group took advantage of the national attention our city was getting for their campaign to visit Florida instead. We decided to make a mock-commercial for spring break in Ithaca. We were able to secure a sponsorship from the Ithaca visitor's center, who supplied the t-shirt. The result was this awkward, yet beautiful video.
During my Freshman year of college, I was invited to help my TA make this awesome documentary. Metamorphosis is the story of a young boy with Autism. It focuses on the positives of therapeutic riding for children with Autism. I was able to learn about audio production through this experience, as well as some techniques in documentary filmmaking.
In late 2017, I worked for a Television Production company in downtown Manhattan. The company, Lion TV, is responsible for more than a few true crime shows - as well as the incredibly addictive Cash Cab. My time there was spent helping in every department as an intern. From development to post, I was a go-to guy for help.
After I graduated from Ithaca, I found a gig through a fellow alumnus where I was able to work on site at the U.S. Open tennis championship. I logged data for Wazee Digital (and was able to get into the Open for free). This job was a blast!
I actually ended up being able to secure a spot on this scripted comedy show through a friend during my first semester. Dropouts is about every college senior's dream: dropping out. Two college dropouts try to navigate their way through career choices, expectations, and relationships. I was the 2nd AC for this project - and I was happy to learn all about the collective creativity that comes from ICTV.
This is the story of Elliot, a person who suffers from Paranoia and Dependent Personality Disorder. It tackles the tough issues of family and mental illness while creating a compelling story. Abandoned is the brain child of my friend Mike, who directed the project. I was lucky enough to be this project's 1st AD, meaning I was in charge of set, safety, and background. I was also responsible for day to day shooting documents and making sure each shooting day finished on time.
This was an excellent TV show pilot that I was able to help out with. Bedrock centers on Eric, a real slacker, who needs to complete 100 nightmare trials before he can awaken from an eternal slumber. I was an all-purpose grip for this production, and I also held the boom. I was rolling with laughter from the outcome of this silly, goofy project.
This was a fun ICTV show I was able to be a part of. The format of Campus Retreat is a scripted "reality" comedy show where college students are competing for a grand prize. We were not allowed to talk about the episodes we filmed until they were sequentially released. I performed various tasks on the show as a grip. This show also features my sophomore dorm room in many scenes!
A friend asked me to help out with this really great short film. I spent a full shooting day in the middle of the woods running around to do various grip tasks. I was glad to be a part of this cool film where I met some great people.
I was the 1st AD for The 607 on ICTV. The 607 is a scripted comedy series about two detectives working to take down Ithaca's biggest crime boss. My job was to lead the production crew, make call sheets, and ensure that safety is always a priority on set. I also helped to direct background actors while making sure a proper schedule wass followed for each shooting day.
