I've been in television production ever since I realized in college that I really did NOT want to be an actor/ waiter. I have ALWAYS been fascinated with television production even when I was just 4 years old. After getting a BA in Theater, Theater Management with a minor in broadcasting, I went to a local community college to get some hands on experience. While I was there I worked at the PBS station on that school's campus. From there I did a stint at a Downriver Detroit weekly newspaper in sales. Invaluable experience, BUT.... not my calling! I also worked at a local (to Raleigh) television station (WTVD) for a few years before I was recruited by a client of the station to work at their ad agency (Dusenbury and Alban). While employed as their Agency Producer, I produced over 150 commercials a year for a few years... which then lead to opening my own shop... Franklin Video, Inc.

Just finished a week long shoot with Frank Smith. He & his Audio Engineer were extremely professional, detail oriented and a joy to work with. The subject matter was sensitive and Frank was not only a fabulous DP but also contributed to the content of the shoot. If ever I find myself shooting in North Carolina, I won’t hesitate to contact him. I highly recommend Franklin Video!

Frank Smith is a perfect example of how a seasoned professional should be. His knowledge of the video production industry is huge but he is very down to earth and trustworthy. As a client, you can’t go wrong by hiring him to create any size or type of project. He has a great eye for what looks best for the project needs. He also stays up on current technology.
His new cameras, edit system, and LED lights are awesome. If you want someone who can give you that cutting edge look and feel while standing on a strong foundation of experience, Frank is your professional to call.
