BURKE REEL - cameraman | editor | dir

In case you're looking for my employment history, here is my resume, updated in March of 2012. I own a Canon 7D, a Tamron 17-50mm stabilized 2.8, a 50mm Nikon prime, a 28-135mm, 64 GB in cards, 2 batteries, an Ikan LED, a Manfrotto 501 fluid head tripod, a Manfrotto monopod, an Olympus LS-10, a Sennheiser wireless, a Rode shotgun, and a Panasonic DVX100A.

This interim reel should give you an idea of my work at NBC and beyond.

 

Bells of Mindfulness

Sister Dang Nhiem is a nun at Deer Park Monastery in Escondido, CA. She practices Zen Buddhism in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. Sister D shows us the proper way to invite the sound of the bell. She also teaches us how to cultivate that peacefulness when we hear noises that might otherwise cause stress. I made this video for the Deer Park Dharmacast.

 

CITYHOOD for EAST LA?

East LA is a famous Mexican-American community, but even a lot of people who live there aren't aware that it's an "unincorporated" area, governed remotely by the county supervisors. But cityhood supporters in East LA are closer to their goal than they have been since 1974.

I made this news documentary for Daniel Weintraub's California policy site, HealthyCAL.org.

 

Positive Feedback

Here's how Weintraub introduces another videos I produced for him a while back.

"Growing up in Boyle Heights, Fernando Almanzar dabbled in tagging and considered joining a crew or a gang before turning away from that lifestyle. Today he is an intern at the Boyle Heights Technology Youth Center, where he is learning the skill of video production. He is a success story for the Los Angeles Youth Opportunity Movement, which offers grant-funded academic programs and job training for residents age 14 to 21 who meet poverty guidelines and are authorized to work. Almanzar is also the co-vice chair of the Opportunity Movement’s Boyle Heights Youth Council. HealthyCal contributor Patrick Burke offers this video profile."
