Who is Travis Harger?

About TRAVIS

Armed with 20 years of film production, marketing, and branding experience, Travis is a wealth of diverse technical knowledge and a true creative force equipped with a unique skill set. His deep passion for visual storytelling combined with his impressive ability to effectively execute his vision is simply hard to match. His strong leadership skills, innate curiosity, and out-of-the-box thinking make him a trusted collaborator on every project; he drives every creative discussion forward, pushing projects to be the best they can be. He’s exactly the kind of guy you want in every brainstorming session and the one you trust to bring a project over the finish line.

As a writer, filmmaker, and creative thought leader, he has led the photo and video commercial efforts of a wide array of clients, big and small, in various capacities. Whether writing and developing smaller local broadcast ads, pitching and overseeing the production of complex campaigns with budgets in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, or collaborating with ad agencies who have already developed their own creative but simply need someone to execute their vision (not to mention his numerous roles in directing music videos, documentaries, short films, and TV pilots), Travis has handled it all. His knowledge of the entire film production process (directing, editing, lighting, set design, VFX, camera department, and sound) has uniquely equipped him to lead even the most complex video shoots while still being able to properly communicate his vision and effectively lead his crew, making shoots a breeze for stressed clients.

As an experienced and competent editor, colorist, and animator, Travis is well-versed in various industry-leading software and understands the unique art of post-production. Whether finding the best way to tell a story through an edit, enhancing that story through precise color-grading decisions, or knowing how to handle a variety of VFX needs, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more capable person sitting in the editing suite with your clients.
