Owner & Executive Producer, Mr. Camera
A Subject Matter Expert (SME) in live event and multi-camera production, post-production and editing, and automated Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera studio installation — leading Mr. Camera in Las Vegas.
Dan Jacobs is the owner and executive producer of Mr. Camera, the Las Vegas video production company his father founded in 1981. A University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) alumnus in Broadcast Journalism, Dan has led the company for more than 15 years and, over that time, has become a recognized Subject Matter Expert (SME) in professional video production — the person national brands, broadcasters, and public relations (PR) firms call when the work has to be right the first time. His work as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) centers on three areas.
Directing multi-camera live events with live switching and ISO recording, backed by Electronic News Gathering (ENG) and Electronic Field Production (EFP) crews — the core of Dan’s work since 1981, for clients including Netflix, Live Nation, MGM Resorts, Ticketmaster, Optum, and Amazon Prime Video.
A hands-on Subject Matter Expert (SME) in post-production — editing, color, and finishing, delivered on-site in Las Vegas or as remote video editing nationwide — including Electronic Press Kit (EPK) and Video News Release (VNR) production for PR and entertainment clients.
Design and installation of automated, robotic Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera studios, including Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB)-compliant casino builds — among them the first recording-enabled gaming salon studio on the Las Vegas Strip at Park MGM.
That depth of first-hand experience — not theory — is what makes Dan a trusted Subject Matter Expert (SME) in each of these fields, and it is the standard Mr. Camera has delivered for major brands since 1981.
