Welcome to the online portfolio of Chris Northcross - videographer, visualist, editor, and one of the former staff producers on Barack Obama's Presidential campaign.
I'm versatile; I often operate as a one man band. I shoot and edit my own footage. I specialize in short-form web documentaries but am open to corporate, narrative and experimental projects.

Actor Forrest Whittaker stopped into Obama’s Michigan campaign headquarters to meet with and motivate volunteers less than a month away from election day.
My favorite moment occurs around 48 seconds in. Mr. Whittaker has his arms out as he’s smiling at the camera. I was shooting him as he walked down a hall and as I was walking backwards, had no vision of the way behind me. In mid-sentence, I smacked into a wall. Hard. Mr. Whittaker took a half a second to smile and re-orient me and then, like the consummate professional he is, continued on with his impromptu speech.
