Persistence of Vision.

Sharing my mistakes so you won’t make the same ones.

This is a collection of short stories about my experiences in video & film and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. It’s also a monthly podcast where I have conversations with other creatives as they share their own career stories.

But why the name Persistence of Vision?

That’s because “persistence of vision” is the term referring to the optical illusion that makes all motion pictures possible (video, movies, TV). It means that our eyes can still perceive an image for a moment after the image itself has disappeared. So, if our eyes are exposed to a rapid succession of images, the illusion of movement is created.

So, the name of my newsletter applies in two ways:

  1. It refers to the video production industry in which I’ve made my career.

  2. It encapsulates the purpose of my writings here: to share the lessons I’ve learned through my own persistence working in film & video and the clarity I’ve gained through those experiences (Start with this story to learn more).

Get in touch.

I’m most active on X, but there are a number of ways to connect with me (including Notes), so feel free to reach out.
