Mike Ransdell Photography

Think of it as funtography

Sorry for the horrible play on words. Just wanted to stress that getting your picture taken, whether at a wedding or a conference or a family gathering, can be fun. I know it can be a little awkward having a camera pointed at you so I do my best to make you feel comfortable and relaxed so that your true personality can come out.

ABOUT

Before cell phones, I was the guy who always had a camera in his hands

When I started in marketing communications many, MANY (cough) years ago, part of my job was to take photos at events. And what started out as part of my job eventually became my passion. Now I capture photos that bring out the true personality of each person.

BEST. MATCH. EVER.

What happens when you get all of the residents to participate in the production of the video from the start? The highest rank list in the history of the program. And a lot of bonding (and laughing) among the residents.

THE SHOCKING VIDEO THAT STARTED IT ALL

We had an idea -- to create a promotional video unlike any other in the country to help a medical residency program stand out. It worked! During interviews, it was the first thing most candidates talked about. They just had to know more!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

How much you got? Just kidding. It depends on the project.

How long does it take?

Also depends. But when you factor in the preproduction meetings, script development, shooting and editing, it can take 4-8 weeks.

You have two locations?

I spend most of my time in Oregon, where I live. But with lots of family and friends in New England, where I lived for several years, I travel back quite a bit.

How many people work on a project?

Typically, just me. I write the script, film and edit. The fewer the people, the more agile and efficient I can be and keep the costs down. But if a project calls for it, I’ll use other independent videographers who I trust.

You aren't located near our program. How would that work?

The majority of the time involved occurs during pre-production, which can be done remotely. For production, I would spend about a week on location filming all of the scenes that we have scheduled in advance.

Why aren't there more FAQs?

These are the only ones I could think of.
