Evan Lanam is a multi-talented, skilled and vastly experienced creative producer that has over 20 years of video/audio production experience. He started making movies at a young age with friends, built himself an editing computer and taught himself how to edit around the age of 10. During high school, he became the go-to video guy and editor for his high-school sports programs. One summer, he was granted a Youth Marketing Internship at the #1 search engine at the time Yahoo! Inc and was at the time, one of the youngest employees working on-location at Yahoo!. Going to film school at Santa Barbara City College he quickly was introduced to the Los Angeles film scene that shoots frequently in that area. He became a camera/jib operator for local and National music festivals (shot bands on jib and handheld such as Damian Marley, Lauren Hill, Jefferson Starship, Edward Sharp and hundreds more) filmed live television sporting events with COX 8, and TV commercials with COX as well, and became a 2nd Assistant Director on a film called Knife to a Gunfight. He also worked as a production assistant for NBC-Universal Primetime reality TV show titled: Mommas Boys, and worked as an unpaid intern on Dennis Miller’s Sports Unfiltered. He nearly dropped out of college to pursue a film-production career in Los Angeles. By choice, was sleeping on production office floors working for basically experience, and food, and learned a lot about the film industry… all while getting 2 Associates of Arts Degrees in Liberal Studies and Film Production, being in multiple local bands as a drummer/singer, assisting in the creation of a popular local public access TV show (we did the comedy sketches), and performed in SBCC’S annual music performance showcase. Also, during that time, he got to shoot videos for Ludacris, The Wailers, and other local businesses and won a National Film Festival for college students for a film he and his friends wrote shot and edited in 24 hours.
He then transferred to arguably the most advanced and first HD television and radio broadcasting program in California, if not the world, at San Francisco State University, the BECA (Broadcast Electronic Communications Arts Department) and received honors in his studies of the television, radio and news industries with emphasis on audio production. While excelling in advanced classes in on-location audio-for-video and having multiple of his own radio shows, one which had the honor of interviewing awesome people like John C. Reilly and Dr. Doug (he’s just a friend). He was asked by SF State professor if he would be interested in working for the Golden State Warriors, he accepted and was soon a scoreboard hard camera operator and handheld floor operator shooting about 35 games a year (he may have captured you on the kiss cam). The job with the Warriors easily transferred to the San Francisco Giants, where he joined the scoreboard crew as the post-production specialist and camera operator. Ended up shooting about 150 games including multiple World Series, and NBA Finals’. Ended up having the privilege and honor to be on the field for the San Francisco first World Series ring ceremony. He even got to march in the World Series Parade! He was then head hunted to work for an up-&-coming video game company in San Francisco called Curse Inc,. There he started as a video editor but it only took him about 9 months to be promoted multiple times, eventually becoming Lead Video Producer, then Video Production Manager, managing multiple youtube channels, editors, and producing/hosting/editing a weekly Youtube series called the Curse Weekly Round Up. During his time at Curse he was asked by his manager to travel to international locations to visually cover the video games industries biggest conferences. Soon the company relocated to Alabama and Evan declined the transfer. He decided to start his own video/photo/wedding production companies and has been producing films and editing video for a huge range of clients primarily serving the Bay Area. Still making movies at the age of 33, he is lately editing videos for clients like Google, Super 7 and shooting wedding and doing jib operation for Pac-12 Networks. He hasn’t stopped making videos since he created his editing computer in his room.
