Steve Morrisson

I have had the pleasure of working with Steve on Season 1 of GOOD SAM, a CBS Network medical drama. Starting with prep, Steve became an invaluable asset and a huge voice in setting the show’s look. All of our sets were brand new builds, and as a studio show spending 75-90% of our time in the stages, our choices from the outset were of vital importance to how the show would run.  We made an early decision to work primarily with built-in LED fixtures, and Steve spearheaded the approach and the aesthetic that ensued. As he and our 1st Director of Photography discussed and collaborated on the look, Steve was the one on the ground making sure things fell into place.  Once in production, on multiple occasions Steve has been upgraded to the Director of Photography role. The first time was due to on set illness, happening less than half way through the day, on one of the show’s biggest days of the season. We were at a very expensive location shooting a Gala, and Steve took over in progress and with seamless precision. Steve maintained the look, helped shape a major sequence in the episode and season, and did his part to ensure we made the day.  He’s now worked as a DP on multiple episodes of the show and with multiple directors, and they’ve all been very happy with the job he has done. I would absolutely work with Steve in a full time capacity as a Director of Photography, and he has my strong recommendation.

I had the pleasure of working with director of photography Steve Morrisson numerous times and I’m thrilled to offer this letter of reference on his behalf.  Throughout the productions we did together he had proven to be a real creative talent, possessing an impressive understanding of character development, cinematic vision, overall storytelling, as well as leadership. Steve is a true asset and partner for a director and a pleasure to work with. He is professional, intelligent and most importantly, passionate. I would recommend Steve without hesitation.
