CamLab Media, Inc

• Owner

  • May 2014 - Dec 2019

  Full service production company. CamLab will take you from inception through delivery. CamLab Media is the culmination of a life of adventure and creativity. Cameron Brainard emerged from a family of engineers as the black sheep artist. He had the good fortune of being fully supported, even if not fully understood, in his artistic endeavors. That support allowed him to test the waters of many different disciplines. With such a broad range of experience and contacts within the entertainment industry, creating a new venture was an easy, though daunting, choice. CamLab was born from a single project and immediately grew into a full service production company with a diverse client base on both coasts. Show less
