JOHN S. BULLARD
Cameraman and Chief Flapper
I have
been telling stories with pictures and sound for more than for thirty years at the local and network level. Starting in 1975,
I began learning my craft at local TV stations throughout the South, shooting and editing 16 mm film and learning a new
camera system called ENG.
In 1980 I moved to Washington, D.C. to join a fledgling news organization
called CNN. As one of the original camera crews for CNN in Washington, I helped cover the last days of the Carter Administration,
Ronald Reagan's landslide election, the American hostage return from Iran and the assassination attempt on President Reagan.
Within a year, I was offered a job with ABC News in Washington. For the next twenty years I traveled the U.S., the Caribbean,
Central America, and Europe covering news, politics, sports, & events of the day based in Washington and
Atlanta, Georgia. A witness to history if you will.
In September 2001, after twenty
years as a staff cameraman for ABC News, I started Lip Flap Productions. It all starts with perspective. If you
love your job, it really isn't a job and I love what I do. I don't bring attitude, just hard work and the result is the highest
quality product for you my client.
