Willis A. Seyffert
- Camera and Electrical Department
- Producer
Will was born in Dallas, Texas in 1961, raised in El Paso, worked on the air on the radio from the ages of 16 to 19, then traveled the world as an active duty Army Helicopter Crew Chief/Cavalry Scout before returning to the United States in the early 80's. After working for a year as a news cameraman, he then migrated to Los Angeles and carved out a 35+ year career in motion picture and still photography, video engineering for film, and sound recording on-set and in the studio, working in many different genres including hundreds of national advertising campaigns, feature motion pictures, television shows, documentaries, and TV journalism. Blending his backgrounds in aviation and all types of film and digital photography has enabled Will to continuously explore new methods of capturing compelling imagery all over the world from planes, trains, automobiles, boats, drones, camels and just about any platform to which a camera can be attached. After raising his three now grown children on the coast, Will moved home to El Paso in 2015 where he continues to practice his combined avocation & vocation, whether hired out professionally, or simply wandering the day-to-day world with most any imaging device that happens to be lying around. And he has recently begun to scout locations for feature films scheduled to shoot in the southwestern U.S. while also assuming the duties of an associate producer on the same.
