Jim Simeone is founder and president of CineVision, Inc., the banner under which he has worked as a Director of Photography for more than 30 years.

Over his long and varied career he’s shot over 1000 broadcast commercials as well as corporate, promotional and web content, training videos, tabletop product shots.

Simeone also has a deep background in Direct Response serving as DP of nearly  80 long and short form DR commercials- most notably in beauty, fitness and housewares for clients such as: Murad, Proactiv, Body by Jake, Beach Body, Power 90, Zumba and The Magic Bullet.

He has helmed spots for political candidates and state referendum initiatives since the beginning of his career.  His projects have grown to include presidential campaigns and gubernatorial, senate and representative races in at least 30 of the 50 states.

This diverse background has made him a uniquely versatile DP.  Friends and colleagues call him “McGyver” –a professional who can make any shot happen.  Producers and Directors love working with Jim because he will always get the job done on budget and with a voracious work ethic.  He uses a lot of natural light, works quickly and creates an enjoyable environment on set.  He is versed in the use of every current camera.

He has hung out of copters, climbed cliffs and run road races “backwards and with a camera”.   He’s charged into burning buildings, and put himself in dangerous hazmat and rescue scenarios –always for that perfect shot. Comfortable in the wild or in the boardroom, he has shot everything from martial arts footage for the US Marine Corps, mountain lions in the wilderness and active shooter terrorists in a major airport—and everything in between.

Simeone works as a Los Angeles and Boston local.
