About Me

Hello, fellow creative or future partner. My name is Brett Chapman. I am an Arizona-native Senior Video Producer, Cinematographer, Post-Production Manager, and Co-Owner of Chapman Digital Cinema Productions LLC.

For over 14 years, I have operated as a "Swiss Army Knife" in the video production industry—bridging the gap between high-end cinematic storytelling and strategic commercial execution.

The Origin Story - My resilience was forged in the Northeast mountains of Snowflake, Arizona. Growing up as the oldest of five in a challenging environment, I learned early on that if you want to change your reality, you have to build it yourself. I carried that grit into my education with a full-ride scholarship, graduating Cum Laude from the University of Advancing Technology with a BA in Digital Video in just over two years, earning "Best in Show" for my senior innovation project.

The Professional Journey - My career has been a study in versatility. After my film studies, I cut my teeth in the high-octane world of Action Sports, filming off-road trophy truck racing for giants like Monster Energy, Red Bull, and Polaris RZR. That experience taught me how to capture the perfect shot when there are no second takes.

I then pivoted to the Corporate & Commercial sector, mastering the art of the 30-second spot for brands like Fox Sports, Chevrolet, and BMW. Most recently, I served as the Post-Production Manager for Kythira Studios (MotoManTV), where I spearheaded a total network rebrand that drove over 600,000 views and launched multiple new parent studio content channels.

The Mission - Today, I run a fully registered production LLC with my wife, where we help clients find their signal in the noise. Whether I’m working for legends like Alice Cooper and Korn, designing massive LED campaigns for state government agencies in arenas, editing YouTube videos, directing shoots, or managing complex remote post-production teams, my goal remains the same: To create order from chaos.

Personal Resilience - I believe that great storytelling comes from real-life experience. I am as dedicated to personal growth as I am to professional excellence. In recent years, I applied my "transformation" mindset to my own health, losing nearly 100 pounds and reclaiming my physical fitness. When I'm not behind a camera or an edit bay, you can find me spending time with my family, fishing, off-roading, gardening, learning new tech or exploring the outdoors that shaped me.

I am here to help you bring your vision to life with technical precision and narrative soul. Check out the Brands page to see the companies I've partnered with, and let's build something iconic together.
