GEORGE ROBBINS Owner/ Creator: The What's Up Television Social Network Broadcasting Company and Videtech Productions a Full Service Audio Visual & Video Production Company 404-414-6131

MESSAGE FROM OWNER: GEORGE ROBBINS
I have been in the production arts for over 20 years and have enjoyed every minute. It is not often we get the chance to do the things we love for pay, but that is exactly what I do. Taking a project from load in to load out is, at least for me, a fantastic journey of expression. From designing a large video production to directing a television commercial or building a beautiful corporate set, I have found many ways to fulfill my need to be a part of bringing new ideas to life.

We never know how we are going to be set on our course. For me it was my 9th birthday, the day my uncle gave me my first range finder camera. Since then I have been privileged to a part of thousands of creative and successful productions.

I specialize in many aspects of the moving and the still image. However, I also have experience in audio, lighting, data display, projection, web design, broadcasting, presentation design and much, much more. As an AV Specialist over the past 15 years in one of America's top ten convention markets (Atlanta) I have gained an extensive knowledge of today's latest AV technologies... their installations and operations. Having worked for companies like Health South, Micro Soft and the GA Board of Community Health, I understand the need for quality customer service to ensure a great production. The last thing the client needs is a nervous or problem technician.

As a Technical Director of Concert Tour Videos I have worked for some of music's hottest stars. They trust my knowledge and skills to produce a knockout show. The knowledge I have of the complete production learned in an on the job laboratory can only be an asset to your company. Knowledge of building codes and procedures, transportation of equipment, managing large work crews during installation are just a few of the skills I have earned in that on the road laboratory.
