Welcome to the resume site for Christopher McDaniel!

My Vision

Whatever the medium, throughout my career, my vision has always been to use art and media to create an experience using the latest technologies.  Whether it is creating a picture, painting, graphic design, video, movie, website, or even a sculpture, my passion is taking the idea or vision and translating that medium into a usable and tangible product.

Most of what I do is translate.  I translate Computer-ese into English. Three dimensions into two dimensions. Real-life images into jpegs or movie files. Abstract ideas into English articulation. Analog light and sounds into digital files.

A Little History

When I graduated from VCU in Fine Art – Painting & Printmaking with a minor in Photography, the Personal Computer had just hit the market. I used most of my graduation gift money to buy one of the most advanced computers I could afford at the time–A Tandy 2000 (MS-DOS with dual floppy drives.)  I quickly realized that understanding computers was the necessary skill set of the future.

Not long after graduating from college, a very successful uncle said to me, “TV is the way of the future.” That resonated with me, so I used the technology I knew at that time to create and develop the TV outreach program of the nationwide ministry I was a part of.  As that grew, I used that knowledge and experience to mentor other TV ministries, and continued to stay current with the latest technology and trends.

Personal Note

As a Christian, my aim is to always provide products with the highest quality, work with integrity, and produce products that are family-friendly and edifying to the consumer. I enjoy opportunities to enhance how ministries, small or large, produce their media and share their message with their community. 

Spending time reading God’s word, the Bible, is a linchpin for a successful walk in the Lord, thus it became the Trademark for the first TV show I was a part of creating, “Time In the Word.”  Classic messages are still airing. In addition, I have worked with Hosanna Broadcasting Network.
