VIVIAN RICHARDSON
POST-PRODUCTION MANAGER, PRODUCER, EDITOR
Vivian is a storyteller. She has a University of Florida degree in journalism and decades of experience as a producer, editor and post production manager. She looks forward to each opportunity to learn about someone or something new ... and then share the news. Whether it's through video, words, or motion graphics, Vivian always looks for a dynamic and engaging way to tell the stories of CDB Production's clients.
​
Some of Vivian's favorite experiences in line of work include being in the operating room during (many) surgeries, traveling to Vienna to interview an opera singer, climbing a (small) mountain in Phoenix in dress shoes while carrying audio gear, watching a harbor seal play on an iceberg, and interviewing inebriated revelers at Oktoberfest in Munich.
​
In her spare time, Vivian is a Girl Scout leader for her two daughters. Anyone want to buy some cookies?

JOE SARAS
PRODUCER/EDITOR
Producer/Editor by trade, soccer junkie and tech nerd by obsession. When he’s not working on his third cup of coffee or editing the latest social video, you’ll find him scoring for his soccer team, working on his next PC build, or re-watching The Office for the 12th time.
