show management & directing

"In my twelve years as Creative Director at CSK Auto Inc.  I worked closely with Don producing numerous annual convention events at large Las Vegas hotels such as Paris, Bally’s, MGM Grand and more, involving live TV production with multiple cameras, award ceremonies complete with complex graphics, live models, photos and background cues plus large musical openings involving pre-recorded video, audio, live performers, and even in several cases, indoor fireworks.  Don Woodard is a highly experienced professional in every way."

 "Don totally gets Production like no one I have ever experienced.  He understood my attempts at creating a run of show program as if we had been working together for years. In our prep meetings he would offer suggestions that only an experienced production master would come up with.  On site he made me feel like one of the crew and his production leadership is not only professional but just downright fun to work with. His impromptu coordination was not only clever, it added pageantry to the onstage production.  You could instantly tell the crew had his complete respect but also played along with his fun working style."

"I have worked with Don for 25 years in the video production/live event business, and have always found him to be highly professional, well educated and up to date in our field, and technically very astute. He has been our “go to guy” for many of the complicated live or multi-camera switched productions we have done over the years.

I find him to be a great problem solver; he really thinks thru the issues and provides several options, which is especially important if dealing with time or budget restrictions. He is very resourceful. He is also good when managing a team, well respected, a good communicator and planner."
