Hi, I’m Blair

I make video, and I’ve done almost every job in production along the way: writing, storyboarding, directing, shooting, lighting, editing, animating, scoring original music, and narrating. For about fifteen years I was also the voice of Varonis. The part I love most, though, is finding the story. Give me hours of unscripted interview footage and I’ll find the moment where someone says the thing that matters, then build everything around it. Some of my favorite work started with material that seemed unusable at first.

I didn’t start out in video. I trained as a composer and earned two degrees in music composition, and along the way I kept a university music lab running, scored theater productions, and spent a year conducting a string orchestra in Calcutta. Later, while doing tech support for a corporate design team, I opened a video project file for the first time and saw keyframes animating scale and rotation over time. It clicked right away: this was the same thing I’d been doing for years when shaping musical phrases in MIDI sequencing software. Before long, I was making the videos instead of fixing the computers that made them, and I’ve been working where creativity meets technology for 25 years since.

I’m a detail person. A colleague once called my focus “maniacal,” and I took it as a compliment. That same attention keeps me learning new tools, and right now that means generative AI. I almost never let one AI tool do the whole job. The results I’m proudest of come from knowing when to switch between a new model and traditional craft in Photoshop, After Effects, or Logic Pro. For example, I’ll perform a voice part myself and use AI to change the sound of my voice, rather than let text-to-speech guess at the delivery.

I also enjoy helping other people do their best work. That might mean putting a nervous executive at ease on camera, coaching interviewers to listen like editors, or building templates and training so a marketing team can make video without waiting on me. Whether it’s a 15-second social ad or a long-form customer story, I bring the same care to every frame.
