    Picture this: circa 2002...a six-year-old with an old VHS-C camcorder, herding family and friends into the spotlight for indie homemade movies. That was me, on the cusp of a lifelong love affair with storytelling through video & media. Fast forward to my college years at Columbia College Chicago, where I charged headfirst into the world of Television & Media. At the student-run TV station, I wore many hats as a Project Coordinator, Executive Producer and Video Producer/Editor. At the age of 21, the web-based talk-show I was the Executive Producer for, “The 30 with Joshua Short”, was nominated for a NATAS Midwest Student Emmy. Since graduating, I've been on a journey filled with diverse projects and roles—videographer, director, producer, social media guru, event planner, sparkle fairy, you name it! But what truly fills my heart with joy is the chance to collaborate and create with like-minded individuals and community members. Whether it's creating heartwarming wedding videos or breathing life into a local café's online presence, I pour my heart and soul into every piece of content.

    I'm an experienced video producer/editor based in Chicago seeking freelance projects. I've created successful TV shows, commercials, and digital media over various platforms from inception to the final touches in post-production, plus I'm extremely energetic and fun to work with! You can view samples of my work at my website listed below in the portfolio section. I've been in the video production industry for over 15 years. I spent over 7 years in Chicago producing and editing TV programming for PBS-WTTW. There, I produced and edited the TV show "Check, Please!" which, with over 100,000 viewers weekly, was one of the top dining/food influencers in Chicago. I also produced and edited a talk show called "My Chicago" where we conducted "interviews-on-wheels" in a car traveling through the streets of Chicago. In addition to my experience working for PBS in Chicago, I freelanced on a number of different projects where I created digital content and commercials for a wide variety of corporate clients, often for same-day delivery. In 2017, I followed my passion to NYC, where I became the video specialist for Tribune Publishing's food website, The Daily Meal. At The Daily Meal, my focus was capturing the dynamic food scene in New York through the eye of my camera lens, while also educating viewers with unique recipe videos, visually dazzling dishes, and tasty information that every home cook will appreciate. I solely produced, shot, and edited 300+ videos. My fiance and I returned to Chicago in the spring of 2022 to continue our work as freelancing partners and be closer to family. I have a fairly flexible schedule, which allows me to do plenty of creative editing and occasional filming. With my passion for video storytelling, and my experience working on a plethora of different types of projects, I'd be thrilled to help with any of your video needs.

    I am a freelance videographer and photographer, as well as a web designer, living in Chicago, Illinois. I have been working in the video field professionally for over 8 years now and have been working freelance in Chicago for the last year and a half. I have done just about everything you can imagine on a video/film shoot, so I am comfortable in almost any job you need, but my areas of expertise lie in directing, writing, camera operation, cinematography, and editing. I am a graduate of the year-long Harold Ramis Film School program at The Second City. There I learned the fine art of comedic storytelling. It taught me how to craft engaging stories and characters both on the page and in the editing suite. It also taught me the Second City philosophy of "Yes, and" which I feel is an essential tool in professional work regardless of what you do. It teaches you to always build upon and enrich the ideas of others and never tear them down. I feel that's just a good life lesson to abide by I used to work at a video equipment rental house and between that job and my 8 years of work I've had hands-on experience with almost every camera system you can imagine. I cut my teeth on RED camera systems (RED One, Scarlet-X, Epic Dragon, Epic-W) and I've used just about every type of Canon camera they've put out. My personal daily driver is a Fujifilm X-T3, a newer mirrorless hybrid camera that shoots 10-Bit 4K ProRes 422 up to 60fps and up to 400mbps. It creates a beautiful image for video and even better for photography, which I also do on the side as a headshot/portrait and product photographer. I'm a firm believer that you should always be educating yourself and getting better at your craft. I am a constantly evolving filmmaker and content creator who loves collaborating with others, and I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with as many people as possible.

    As a one-man-band videographer/editor at Joel Ruby Studios, I collaborate with digital marketing teams to record, edit, and distribute social video for a multitude of clients. I work closely with companies from all walks of life to identify their marketing needs, and execute video projects to drive customer engagement. I also identify video workflow and production techniques to distinguish video products from anything else on social media. I have a Bachelor of Arts in New Media and Communications Technology from The Ohio State University, where I discovered my passion for filmmaking, photography, and new media art. I started my own video production business, Joel Ruby Studios, in 2017, and specialized in outdoor adventure filmmaking for three years, working with The Orvis Company in Vermont. I moved back to Chicago in 2020 to expand my business to include music videos, short films, documentaries, and hybrids thereof. I have award-winning skills in video editing, video production, and videography, and I hold a UAS Part 107 Drone Certification. I am always eager to learn new technologies and techniques, and create digital media that inspires, teaches, and entertains.

I have been working full time as a media producer since 2019. Currently as of 2023 I work Monday-Friday for 3 Online Course Companies that sell courses via YouTube/TikTok/Instagram. I am very active in creating short form social media content. Additionally I work for local Chicagoland area production companies that shoot a variety of live content. If you are looking for photo/video coverage in the Chicago area I am available for hire! If the shoot is more complex and requires additional shooters, I can assemble a team of media producers to get the job done. I also can connect you with the local studio's I work for if you have a higher budget. Overall I have a very wide range of experience in media. I can describe my winter season as mostly video editing, and summer season with more on location coverage. If you have any questions feel free to ask me here on Upwork!
