Gavin Clayton(I)
- Cinematographer
- Camera and Electrical Department
Ever since a young teen, Gavin has had a strong desire to make film.
His first movies were derivative of stories read as young boy, with an
emphasis on Science Fiction but a desire to bring original twists on
the genre. Gavin started as a recording engineer at Hyde Street Studios
after obtaining a certification from the Recording Workshop. After
working on the sound for many films, he decided to get his BFA in
cinematography from Academy of Arts University. While attending the
Academy he made many of the contacts that he still assists and
collaborates with to this day. After working several years as an
independent contractor, traveling around the South Pacific filming surf
competitions and college sporting events, he returned to the bay area
to rejoin the narrative film community there. He often resides in San
Francisco working on his thesis film towards his masters in Directing
and hopes to teach at some point as well
