My name is Tom Guilmette and I work in television and film. I love what I do and to keep this very simple, I will post some of the cool stuff I have done thus far in my career.
This site is my online resume and also a place where people can discuss and learn television and film production. I am not an expert, but I have experience and I have worked along side some of the most talented people in the industry. I also get to play with very expensive equipment!

hello tom, good day, I am Brazilian and love with innovative images and now I am his follower in vimeo and do not have much access to innovative technologists on my parents, so I would know how much it would cost me a camera system that shows how this slow in this video (http://vimeo.com/13596724), and where to find out there, and how to care for my parents here
