Danny Ford Productions and IMPACT forensic
Est. September 1st, 2002.

Danny Ford has been involved in photography, video, and sound engineering since 1987. He is both Creative Director, and Projects Coordinator for the company. It is his responsibility to bring together a variety of extremely talented technicians to deliver the high quality our diverse clientele expects.

Danny's work history and experience is diverse. He has been employed as a field photographer/live remote operations engineer for an NBC news affiliate. He has been a member of the studio production staff for the State of Hawaii, Department of Education's highly acclaimed distant learning Science program, which is broadcast Statewide. The television program called Kidscience, educated young children through remote classroom technology. His experience in broadcast television was further expanded while working as a promotions editor for a FOX and UPN network affiliate station. Prior to working in broadcast television, Mr. Ford served in the United States Air Force. While in the USAF, Danny was trained as both a still and video photographer. He worked in photo laboratories printing and duplicating the original still photo images he and his colleagues had taken in the field. From celebrities, to sporting events, to military exercises, Danny has lent his expertise to the successful documentation of many special events. He provided coverage for the Department of Defense after Hurricane Iniki devastated the Island of Kauai. He covered the 50th Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. As the demand for better trained military personnel increased, Danny's job duties and responsibilities increased. The Air Force sent him to Hollywood, California to receive training in video technologies. When he returned to his post with his new training, his distinctive style of videography caught the eye of his military supervisors. General Merill A. McPeak, Commander of Pacific Air Forces requested Airman Ford as his on-call videographer. During Danny's tour of duty, General McPeak became Commander of The Air Force and Danny continued to server the following PACAF Commander for the duration of his Tour of Duty. He served during Operation Desert Shield documenting troops as they mobilized and rotated from Kuwait to Hawaii. His time working in Air Force portrait studios and military and commercial photo labs was significant. After separating from the military he worked as a Federal Employee as a (PS-7) Loss and Theft Prevention Agent for the Navy Exchange in Pearl Harbor. He installed and programmed security camera systems as well as monitoring video systems which were ultimately used in the criminal prosecution of shop-lifters and employees who were embezzling from the company. He has worked in the broadcast communications industry as a show coordinator. He was responsible for managing the logistics of large amounts of AV equipment, as well as supervising and directing crews of union and contract audio-visual technicians for a company that provided the presentation equipment for major conventions. As a sales representative for two separate Broadcast Communications equipment providers he gained extensive knowledge of current and upcoming technologies in the audiovisual arena. His experience in the field of documenting forensic evidence began in 1990. While stationed in Hawaii as a photographer he provided photo and video support for military investigations. He also provided similar forensic documentation for a few Honolulu based attorneys on a contract basis. This was his first experience providing evidence for use in civilian legal matters. His military training in the correct methods of evidence documentation was a valued asset for his clients. In 1999 Danny began working full-time as the in-house Director of Video Production for one of Dallas' most prestigious personal injury law firms. It was this position that gave him a creative edge in legal presentations. Over the past twelve years, while supporting a staff of excellent attorneys in a variety of litigation cases, his work has helped obtain successful resolutions for the clients and their families. His diversity has allowed him many opportunities to meet and work with heads of state, industry leaders, great legal minds, celebrities, journalists, military leaders, charitable organizations, and families throughout his community and across the country.
