Damon Claussen

Damon Claussen has been editing for 25 years, but had his hands on the family 8mm film camera since the age of 7. If he wasn't re-creating stop-motion scenes using his bendable Gumby toys with a sickened plot twist, he captured the essence of Stomper 4x4's climbing through carved trails in the front yard planter boxes. Mom wasn't pleased with his film endeavors at the sacrifice of her plants. Soon he was introduced to Betamax in the early 80's. Strangely enough, while in high school, he steered clear of the Audio Visual Department, because he found too much fun in "making fun" of those AV nerds bringing the 16mm projector into the classroom.Fast forward four years... in college finishing up on his BS in Graphic Communications at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, the AV department turned him to the dark side. Damon became the thing he feared most, an AV nerd. He didn't have to deliver equipment... but was sentenced to stay in a dark room and edit video, and......he liked it... [Details Intro]
