Introduction
Well, my name is Ray Krzeminski Ne Smithers, married in July 2007. I am currently working for "All Answers" as a Website Developer, which I enjoy, but my main passions outside of work are Videography & the Web. I first picked up a camcorder in 2003 when I was asked to video the events from our Contact Centre taking calls for Comic Relief. As soon as I picked up it up, I knew that this is what I wanted to pursue further.
Past Projects
Since filming the Comic Relief event, I have been practicing my skills on my family and friends by videoing/editing:
- Weddings
- Honeymoon Safari DVD
- Baby cermonies
- Various company promotion videos
- This is your life (Family DVD spanning back 30 years)
- A student accomodation video
- A local band in action
- A 3 part warm-up video to use as an ice breaker for meetings
I’m currently looking into other video ideas, which I know would be a success, but I really need a studio with a green screen and about £10,000 worth of equipment!
The Future
In 2006 I acquired my first semi-professional camcorder, a Sony HVR A1E. Gone are the days of my shaky, noisy Canon MV830, it’s time to welcome the future!
Now I’ve trained myself to a level where I am happy to broaden my horizons, I want to start using my talents on new projects.
Capturing moments on film really excites me because at the time, the final video is fantastic, but ten years from now, those memories are as alive as they ever were!
Other Abilities
As well as videoing I also have skills in lots of other areas like:
- Web design
- Database design
- Photo manipulation
- Desktop publishing
- Visual Basic
- SEO
- PSD > XHTML/CSS
- The Spanish language
- Currently learning Thai (Badly)
My Moto
Anybody can be a success or learn anything, as long as they have the commitment and determination, they will succeed.

You don’t always need to know the answer, you just need to know how to find it.
