01
Frame the story
Lighting and composition carry the message before a word of dialogue. The videographer's job is to make the audience feel what the story intends.
Services / Videographer
Tampa videographer. DP-led shoots for brands, commercials, and content.
When people search for a videographer, they want a person on set who makes the decisions that matter. That is what a DP does.
01 / What a videographer does
02
Move the camera with intent
Camera movement is a decision. No movement says "watch." Pan says "follow." Dolly says "discover." Every move is a choice that either serves the story or distracts from it.
03
Finish the image in color
Raw footage is raw. The color grade is where the mood lives. A videographer who also colors owns the look from capture through delivery.
02 / Dee Mount, videographer
Started in Tampa as a solo DP. Went national after a documentary credit with HBO and a Blackmagic certification in color.
Certified in Blackmagic color grading and Dolby Vision finishing. Every project gets a real color grade, not a LUT and a prayer.
Commercials for national brands, brand films for founders, documentaries for stories with real stakes, music videos for artists, and content for creators.
03 / Shoot day
01
Light the scene
The videographer brings gear, a crew if needed, and a lighting plan. The plan survives first contact but the fundamentals do not change.
02
Compose and move
The videographer frames the shot, positions the camera, and decides if the shot moves. Every choice serves the emotional intent of the scene.
03
Protect the take
The videographer watches for focus drift, exposure creep, and technical failure before they happen. What you see is what you get only if the videographer catches it first.

What does a videographer do?
A videographer is a Director of Photography who runs the camera side of the shoot. That includes lighting, framing, camera movement, and the technical decisions that protect the footage. A videographer who also colors owns the look from capture through delivery.
How far in advance do I book a videographer?
Book at least two weeks out if possible. Dee Mount works with shorter notice depending on availability. The fit call gives you the real timeline and any production prep needed before the shoot day.
What is included in a videography package?
A videography package includes the videographer on set, lighting and grip gear as needed, raw footage delivery, color-corrected selects, and custom color grading on hero shots. Crew, location scouts, and craft are discussed in the fit call based on your project scope.
Does the videographer do editing?
Dee Mount does color grading and finishing but partners with editors for assembly and pacing. The videographer protects the footage and the look. The editor assembles the story. Both are separate skills.
