Second place in a jousting games tournament.

Daniel Penz

Editor/Producer/Talent

I recently became a PrEditor (Senior Specialist Producer/Editor) for the corporate division of JCPenney\. From 2009 to 2012 I was the Editor for the Special Projects and Investigations division for KTVT/CBS‐11 and KTXA/TXA‐21 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth market, and in the daily news turn for five years before that. I speak Adobe, Avid and Final Cut fluently.

I have won two (and a half) Emmys (Feature: Serious Series, Business/Consumer News Series [the 1/2], and Public/Current/Community Affairs - Program), two first place awards from the Associated Press (Feature:Serious, Feature: Videography) and one second place (Feature: Series), two Telly Awards, and two RTNDA Edward R. Murrow awards. Additional awards include three from the Dallas Bar Association (Phillbin Awd.) including the Grand Prize in 2012, one from the Texas State Bar (Silver Gavel Awd.) and multiple Videographer and Communicator awards.

As an editor, producer, and professional voice talent, I've been responsible for hundreds of hours of advertising, education, entertainment and news in my decade and a half in television. I have also produced and edited a series of instructional programs (The Well Tempered Dialect and the History Customs and Manners Series). I have provided voice talent for such diverse clients as Wal-Mart, Nutrasystems, Ross Perot, the American Heart Association, Funimation, and the smash hit game Borderlands 2,. I was also the original voice for the game and movie character Max Payne. Some of the other voice work I've done can be found here, or on IMDB.

I hold a Certificate of Marketing from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University, a Bachelors of Arts in Theater from the University of North Texas, and have also studied Theater and History at the University of London, and have been a performer for more years than I care to think about.

In addition to my talents as a Final Cut and Avid Editor, I am also skilled with Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Audition and Encore, with numerous other Mac and PC skills. You can find my professional resume here, and references here or on my Linked In Profile.
