Our clients see our commitment to service in action, and for us, there’s no greater satisfaction than seeing them happy with a final product we can all be proud of.
I’ll never forget how inspired I felt watching the Lakers when I was 5 yrs. old, hearing Chick Hearn sound like he was having the time of his life while calling their Championship against the Celtics… From that point on, I always knew I wanted to work in TV. I’d stay up late on Sunday nights just to watch George Michael Sports Machine and think to myself, someday, what if I could have a job like that?
After High School I went to UNLV for a Broadcast Journalism degree with thoughts of being on camera talent. From there I landed my first job in TV. It was for Entertainment Tonight in 1995! That’s when I realized that working behind the camera was pretty cool, and suited me better than being in front of it.
I started working red carpet interviews for ET with celebrities like Magic Johnson, Garth Brooks & Paris Hilton. At that point in my life, If I wasn’t busy working for ET, I was working in the Octagon for UFC as a utility behind a handheld camera operator and quickly discovering exactly where my passions belonged within the broader TV industry.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to work as a Stage Manager for the UFC, NBA and even the NHL during the Vegas Golden Knights magical run to the Stanley Cup Finals in their first ever season!
Some of my most recent work comes from an opportunity I was given by Intel Sports in 2020, when they hired me on as an Associate Producer to create video game-like highlights using their True View Technology during games at the freshly minted Allegiant Stadium!
Just like my mentor Don Jacobs said it would, my passion has taken me places where you can’t buy tickets. Even after more than 25 years of being in the industry, I still love everything that I do. For me, it doesn’t actually feel like work.
My career in the Film Industry started in catering. As a connoisseur of quality food creation, making mass quantities of food was not my idea of time well spent. One day a local Producer told me I would make a great Camera Assistant. Unsettled with my current profession, I took my passions and diverted them into film production.
From there I focused on the Camera Department and the rest is History. I put my hands on a jib for the first time out at Lake Las Vegas on a Poker TV Show. This sparked something inside of me. The idea of moving the camera became my new passion. From Jib, to Motion Control Time Lapse, to editing, my goal is to create shots that help keep people on the edge of their seat.
This is why I called my company Frames InMotion, because every shot looks better when it’s moving. David Carafelli and I have been working together since 2009. We used to be tech crew. As Camera Utilities we worked together making connections and resolving problems. At the time I never would have thought it was preparing us for an Epic partnership.
Now we have a 2000 sq ft production studio and edit suite. Having Carafelli Productions and Frames In Motion under the same roof has taken our production quality to the next level.

Christian is confident behind an ENG camera, or a long lens shooting NHL hockey. He has extensive post-production experience, as well as aerial videography.
Feelings have always been the true currency of the World.
Within extraordinary circumstances from which anyone would respond uniquely, I’d respond with empathy. Empathy that ensures others feel heard, understood, and valued.
Ultimately, I feel this has lead me to become the Marketing professional that I am today. I feel blessed being able to assist brands in their efforts to connect with various customer personas in relevant and meaningful ways.
I’m passionate about bringing invaluable insight and unique perspective to companies marcom and strategic business development directives. Outside of my work I enjoy working with Adobe After Effects.
