About Us
Chris Valites: Founder, DIT, Digital Tech, & Technomancer
Meet our Founder
While it may look like an excuse to play with all the toys, Valites Tech is the cumulation of years of education, trial-and-error, industry insider knowledge, and bespoke solutions built for each production’s needs. My approach to each day on set is to bring professionalism with personality; we’re all artists working hard in a short time window to achieve our brief. There is no secret one-size-fits-all approach.
Using the best of the best from companies like Pomfort, Flanders Scientific, Teradek, Capture One, Phase One, Apple, Area 51 Tether Co, XRite, Profoto, and more, I use the best tools on the market to make my client’s lives easier and let them concentrate on creation, not tech support.
I’ve worked on all manner of shoots from small headshot gigs, to run-and-gun sport lifestyle campaigns, to full-blown commercial video productions. Since 2016, I’ve been able to provide the ability to roll with the punches and deliver for Fortune 500 companies down to mom-and-pop shops.
When I’m not scheming on how to bend technology to my will and my client’s needs, I’m most often found behind the handlebars of my motorcycle, rippin’ around New England and beyond.
OUR CORE VALUES #1
Reliability
Pink cup holders aren’t the only thing showing up to every job. Showing up and handling your needs with zero apparent effort to observant clients means the entire production looks good.
OUR CORE VALUES #2
Collaboration
Nobody does it all. Feedback and dialogue drives what I do, what I learn, and what I purchase. If there’s a certain way of working that has been tried and true for on other productions, it simply makes sense to adapt it into my workflow.
OUR CORE VALUES #3
Grow it.
Show up and get to work. Bring what’s needed. Every shoot, every set, every production is used to make what I know and what I offer for rental more seamless and ensures that we’re using all the technology we can to avoid any drop in output.
OUR CORE VALUES #4
Personality
At the end of the day, we’re all working artisans exercising our craft at the peak to give our end clients more than they expected. Adding some humanity to it simply makes the journey even more enjoyable.
