Bill Sample has been in the film and media business for over 20 years.

Performing Arts Credits: Supervised  video production of concerts by; Bad Company, Night Ranger, Boyz II Men, (and others) for cable and broadcast distribution in Japan. Served 7 years as a civilian Supervisory Broadcast Specialist with the Department of Defense in Asia. Scripted and produced hundreds of TV commercials, psa's and long format video productions for distribution to Military bases and Marine Corps facilities..

Additional Performing Arts credits include Internet posted music lessons by such stars as Joe Satriani, (rock), George Benson, (jazz), and Mercy Me, (Grammy winning Christian rock band).

My independent film "A Coaching Tradition" was entered by invitation to the Berkshire International Film Festival in 2007 and I served as a location videographer and researcher for the Berkshire segments of the PBS documentary film " A Trumpet at the Walls of Jericho " by filmmaker Mike Kirk, which aired in 2006.

I am currently working on a new film, (as yet un-named,) which is a time lapse and seasonal exploration of  Berkshire land/cloud scapes, architecture and human activities. I 've been shooting and editing time lapse of the Berkshire hills in all their moods for years now, and have compiled what I consider an excellent library of digital video footage of all the Berkshire Landmarks, including some "cottages" and many local churches, and the beautiful vistas from all over the county. E-mail me about stock footage If you are interested in seeing/using any of these DV clips.
