Klaus Vaillant

Born and raised in Broward county, Florida, I have been lucky to call South Florida home. I realized that producing videos was something I liked when I received my first Apple computer in middle school. After recording some clips with an iPod touch and editing them in iMovie, I realized how much I liked to make videos.

​After being enrolled in the Cypress Bay Television Production program for two years, I confirmed that Television Production is something that I would like to pursue professionally. Being a crew member, and eventually a producer of the weekly National Award-Winning show, Aftershock, I have learned the fundamentals of Television Production and story telling. It has become a deep passion of mine to tell a story through a lens while thoroughly enjoying photography as well.

In my first three years I have become certified in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe Photoshop CC, won 2nd place in the nation for Broadcast News Magazine at the 2017 Student Television Network Convention, and became Sports Producer for Aftershock. I look to further expand my skills of telling a story through a lens.
