ONCE UPON A TIME.....
Welcome to DetroitVideoman.com
Tom Sarnowski actually the hardworker {and sometimes his son} running Detroit's
best-kept secret: of Video, Audio and Photography work.

Recorded/filmed for big show-biz names like:
"Days of the New", "Stabbing Westward", "Seven Mary Three", "Razhel",
"Kid Rock", "Kenny Olson", "CRUD" and "SPONGE"

and the Local Famous:
Sun Messengers, Twistin Tarantulas, Howling Diablos, FACE, Broadzilla,
Alberta Adams, Thornetta Davis, Jazzhead, Soul Clique and more....see Satisfied Customers

Two and a half years ago, he up and started a Company called TAS Prouductions,
{some of you may have an original business card}
later became DetroitVideoman.com registered in Macomb County, Mt Clemens, Dec 2000,
but has been filming/video since 1994 and photography long before that.

He found his calling into the ART when he was filming video for his friend's bands,
The Sun Messengers, Twistin Tarantulas, Howling Diablos, Alberta Adams and Thornetta Davis

He has worked with consumer-savvy corporate clients
such as: Twice for Metrotimes as {TAS Productions}
Master Collins Tang Soo Do Garden City and St. Anne Church of Detroit, also
WJLB Basketball Benefit at the Palace of Auburn Hills and Detroit Kettering High Playoffs 2000

He does this, of course, when he's not Recording Music for Videos -or- working his Day Career.
You see - he has two careers going at once....(click link to see Resume of day career)

Day Career Resume

Recording footage for his production of a video soon to be released to the Client
Now he's back in his Warren studio/home, exhausted and eager to come up with a finished product.
All he has to do is edit hours of great film footage down to one sweeping hour of Powerful Music/raw documentary.
But passing the tapes over to some other editing house is not an option.
In order to ensure that the initial creative vision is never
buried in the production process, Tom runs his show from beginning to end.

Tom explains why it's common sense to work so hard:
We {myself and my son} handle it on our own, mostly because
we don't want to deal with getting questioned why
or having to pay out a fee and then being force to pass it on to the clients to recoup cost.

He subscribes to the school of filmmaking, always pushing for a hard-edged realism.
When he can, he chooses to work outdoors and make the most of what's known as the moment, a break of natural light that offers perfect texture and color for film. And he always improvise within the moment. Sometimes mistakes makes remarkable footage.

So what's next on the storyboard?
Detroit Videoman is working on a video art project on the side and he's
constantly bidding for work on more music videos.

Sometimes executive owner of Detroitvideoman digs into Tom, Because he lowballs the price for his creativity. It seems he can't get used to the idea that
his edgy ideas and perfectionist work ethic are worth a heavy penny.

Tom agrees with a more straightforward notion about making videos:
Is there something wrong with doing this nonstop ?
You gotta love it or else you're messed up in the head.?
