JOHN VIDASProducer/Director/Cameraman/Writer
John sets the standard of dedication and perseverance at Dragonfly. There’s no question why his mascot is Wiley E. Coyote and lives by the motto “Never Give Up”. If John isn’t writing a script, shooting a difficult shot or finishing it all up in the editing room, he just isn’t fulfilled. He started his career as a Navy jet mechanic but soon realized that being a photographer/cameraman was a much better venue for his creative mind. Traveling the world as a member of the elite Combat Camera Teams or covering the news for WEAR-TV in Pensacola, Florida, producing stories that made a difference is what he was known for. Wanting to work with people who always put creativity and story telling first, John started Dragonfly with long time friends, Todd Beveridge and Christina Miller. John is happiest producing videos and spending time with his three beautiful grandchildren.
TODD BEVERIDGEProducer/Director/Cameraman/Writer
Todd
loves doing it all. From writing
and shooting to directing and producing, he can get knee-deep in any environment. He started his career as a Navy photographer/aerial
cameraman traveling the world documenting our military as a member
of the elite Combat Camera Teams. After many years on active
duty and attending USC Film school, he moved to Los Angeles and worked on a number of feature
films, commercials and videos. Moving to Charlotte to start
a family, he and Navy pal, John Vidas created Dragonfly. Along with running a successful production company Todd
continued his naval service in the Naval Reserve and retired as a Navy photographic officer.
CHRISTINA MILLER
Christina is definitely the creative glue that keeps it all together. She is a solid client-pleaser with her easy-to-work-with personality and her invaluable collaboration. She started out her career as a Navy photographer traveling the world as the lone still photographer running a very active darkroom on the USS Vulcan (AR 5). After attending the Navy’s motion picture/video school, she was selected to be the video editor with the elite Combat Camera Teams. After many years on active duty, she moved to Charleston, S.C. and worked with a production company producing award-winning videos and computer programs. She moved to Charlotte to work with her old Navy friends, John Vidas and Todd Beveridge. Together, they created Dragonfly and for over fifteen years, Chris' pit bull attitude of never settling for less than her best has been a key ingredient to the success of Dragonfly.
