My name is Nate Nickels, I saw your job title is Director of Photography that is my goal as well. I am working on moving to LA as soon as I can and thought I would tell you about myself and who knows maybe could work together when I get out there. Here is some of the things I have been working on. I can send you my resume if you want to see more of what I have done.
So how is the CW thing going for you ? What are you doing there ? Did you school help you find the job ? The colleges i have been to don't seem to help to much unless your in the same state lol. Well hope to hear from you , Thanks, Nate

I worked a CMT show as a Production Assistant in the past few weeks in Ohio. I recently worked a contract position at Electronic Arts Tiburon in Orlando, Florida in the video department as a Media Lab Technician. In my job as media lab technician, I maintained the video machine room as well as doing DVD authoring and assisting the editors. My job consisted of many tasks using professional digitizing decks for duplication,transfer and backup.
Before that I most recently attended Full Sail in Winter Park Florida. I was in the film program and have been the Director of Photography for 4 films at the school including 35mm and 16mm films. During my time in Florida I worked freelance at a production company doing various commercials and music videos. I love doing production work and working with a team to create professional movies and videos. I am always learning and always excited for the next challenge that awaits me.
I have over 200 credits from a local public broadcasting station, Troy Public Broadcasting Television 5. I also attended ITT Technical Institute where I studied multimedia, 3D animation and modeling. I own a Panasonic HVX-200 HD camera and a Canon 20D, I have been doing video production for 5 years and digital photography for 6 years. I have a lot of experience using many ENG cameras and lighting equipment.Some of my still photography can be seen at this site
Sorry for my late reply - I've been vacationing the past few weeks.
I saw the trailer on the film's website - looks great, visually speaking. Let me know when your reel is up.
I loved Deakins's work in No Country. I had been dabbling in the idea of cinematography until that film. His capacity for lighting, particularly with the night exteriors/interiors, changed the way I approach production.
