ABOUT

Todd Stanley has been creating and producing television for 3 decades; doing everything from hard news gathering to documentaries and reality programming to music videos and commercials. Most prominently, Todd has been an integral part of the creative team that produces Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” .

Todd is often called on for difficult assignments that require someone with a cinematographer’s eye as well as a producer/director’s ear for story. There are very few “shooters” in the business that can be trusted to produce good non-fiction television and even fewer producers who can be trusted to bring home the killer images needed to make compelling stories come alive. Comfortable behind the eyepiece or working with talent from the director’s chair, Todd can handle both of these tasks.

Specialty cameras and equipment are another area in which Todd sets himself apart from other shooter/producers. During the shooting of “SOS; Coast Guard” Todd improvised and built tiny lipstick cameras and casings that were unobtrusive enough to work on the Coast Guard rescue swimmers. This created a stunning “rescue-eye-view” that was much talked about on the series. While he has long moved on from location sound work, Todd is also an experienced sound man which is an excellent troubleshooting skill to have in the field.  

Todd’s professional background also includes his time as a highly sought after river guide on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, the Kanektok river in remote SW Alaska and the Bio Bio River in Chile, to name a few. His penchant for outdoor adventure and international travel gives him a particular sensitivity to working in remote or environmentally sensitive locations.
