INSPIRED BYFireflies inspire me. "There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures." ~ James Thurber. Light is so important in what I do and those magical little guys carry it with them.
FAVORITE PROJECTWhile the coolness of shooting in England, France, Bosnia Herzegovina, (yes Bosnia) and Germany does not escape me, my favorite job is a shoot in Delaware County, PA. The creative called for a simple tracking shot down a wooded path. It was a perfect autumn day with bright yellow leaves falling all around. Light cutting through the colored leaves produced a look and feel that made the talented actress glow. It truly was a great moment capitalized on.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MOREThe music I play in studio while setting up for a shoot is often Melody Gardot.

INSPIRED BYThinking outside the box and creating a pathway of getting results for clients that exceeds their expectations. I like to think of myself as the 5th Beatle for their project!
FAVORITE PROJECTMy favorite project recently has been going on tour with a fantastic new rising recording artist. I was her FOH (front of house mixer throughout SE Asia and Europe. My next favorite was being the main audio director for the post 911 tribute world feed on 9-21-01 from the Statue of Liberty.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MOREThe Beatles music would always be my first choice but - I love all music except bad music. I am a sucker for adventure espionage type films and foreign films. I also dig a well done comedy like Woody Allen flicks. As far as TV goes I enjoy animal shows, and comedies like The Office. I only follow hockey as my sport of choice and also love to play it.

Over 15 year broadcast veteran and MBA, Henry manages the NBC10 account for StudioTEN. He began his career at WPIX-TV in New York City, and has worked at each of Philadelphia's "Big Three" network stations, earning 9 Emmys for his work.

INSPIRED BYReading: I have a voracious appetite for ideas, which often sparks new creative angles in my work.
Music: Sometimes, all you need is a good piece of music to touch off ideas.
FAVORITE PROJECTMy favorite piece of work was a simple script I wrote some years back for NBC10 weatherman, Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz. First reason: It was the first time I had "nailed" another person's voice on paper. When we went to production, the script needed no re-writing, and Glenn delivered it as though he'd written it himself. Second reason: It led to my proudest moment as a writer; two years after the spot had stopped airing, a viewer quoted it back to me verbatim, citing that spot as the reason they had become a devoted viewer of NBC10.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MOREMy television tastes are all about extremes - it's either high-brow or low-brow for me. So, I can say with a straight face that I love shows like "Mad Men" and "The Wire", but I also religiously watch "Cheaters". It's the stuff in the middle (the "CSI's" of the world) that I have no interest in.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MOREMusic is a big part of my life. I enjoy searching out new, creative artists who don't follow the run-of the mill mainstream. That being said, I do have my guilty pleasures. However, over all my favorite musicians are Drake, Kylie Minogue, Rascal Flatts, Counting Crows, and the Dave Mathews Band. When it comes to movies from Independent to box office blockbusters, you're sure to discover my, "dorky side."
