Mark Mardoyan

Mark Mardoyan is an Multi-Camera Director whose work covers a wide range of television including: Live Concerts , Award Shows, Infomercials, Workout Videos  and non-scripted shows (talk shows, etc.).  He has an uncanny way of making multiple cameras seem like an extension of his own eye and creative imagination.

Much like a great chess player who anticipates many moves ahead, Mark directs all the camera operators toward an end result that keeps an audience interested and entertained.

Being active as a Live Entertainment Director since 1984, and has Directed hundreds of shows ranging from politics with President Richard Nixon & Nancy Reagan, to Live concerts that vary from The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra to legendary Rock's, Carlos Santana.

The range of other shows include: ABC Christmas Ice skating special “Holiday on Ice”, several Infomercials and recently, the “World Magic Awards” hosted by Sir Roger Moore, it was the first magic show captured in High Difinition  which earned the highest rated show ever aired on “My Network” LA’s Channel 13, Masters of Illusion television series, Impossible magic the series, “ Heroes among us”, "Congressional Medal of Honor"  Arrival of the Endeavor Space shuttle to Los Angeles,  "Loving the Silent Tears" the musical, Rose parade 2014 & 2015, AACTA awards which is Australias international academy awards for 5 consecutive years, The Movie Guida awards, just to name a few.

With several industry Awards as well as an EMMY for his camera work on 2004 LA Marathon, Mark’s been written about in two industry magazines regarding technical aspects of producing reality television - "Video Systems" & "Millimeter Magazine".
 
He loves to rehearse, rehearse and rehearse, however, he also loves a challenge and is particularly adept at “Live” Broadcast Multi-Camera Directing where there is no script and no rehearsals.   Working in the moment yet staying one step ahead at all times fuels him and reveals an uncanny “inner knowing” in the way he anticipates an unfolding story as it emerges, telling it with as much truth, sensitivity and attention to detail as possible while allowing it to lead him to an often unknown ending rather than trying to impose one of his own making.
