Chad E. Miller
     Producer/Cameraman

Between 2012 and 2016, I worked for EFFORT Media. We were a two man creative team made up of me and J. Womble. The Components of Winning is not just the name of the video but also came from the philosophy of how the corporate mindset of our leadership believed success was possible in any endeavor.

We needed a desert looking environment to mimic the Iraqi desert and the Joe Garner Agency found a very sandy washout surrounding a lake near Jackson, MS. Roman Flute took the footage and created this scene for Speedbox, Inc,. He is an amazing producer, director and motion graphics artist.

Much of what is present in my demo reel is a result of me being a producer on the project. It can be very difficult for a freelance director of photography to get permission to have content from commercial clients. I was hired to be part of the production and once my involvement was complete that is the end of my involvement. So, to get access to the project after post-production, can prove to be difficult if not impossible due to proprietary methods and intellectual property. Please check out a few of my project.

I instruct all Audio/Video, Graphic Design and Commercial Photography classes in the CTE program in the Lake Worth Independent School District. This video was created to introduce the school board, parents and students to the Career and Technical Education classes that are offered. I wrote, shot and edited the video in the Fall of 2018.

Co-Writer and Co-Producer on this stock footage extravaganza. Our Corporate heads wanted to make a national looking commercial spot for their staffing company with a small budget. We were a staff of two people. While at EFFORT we both directed and wrote every project; I shot almost every one of the spots and he did the editing. For these, we collaborated on the writing of all three spots on the Effort Staffing series of commercials.

This video was shot aboard a work-over barge in the Gulf of Mexico for TETRA Technologies Offshore division. The purpose of the video is to show the process of oil and gas well remediation. There are many different divisions under the TETRA Offshore and Industrial umbrella and this video shows most of what they offered at the time of production. I spent a total of 6 months writing, shooting and editing this video with the help of my editor J. Womble.

At EFFORT Media, the two man staff of Cjhad Miller and J. Womble created all the promotional and marketing materials. We produced videos for EFFORT Racing, EFFORT Staffing and for World PMO.

I was hired by Bentley Team Absolute to create a series of introductory videos at the beginning of the 2016 Pirelli World Challenge race season. The team is based out of China and 2016 was their first year to race in an American race series.
