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.

Forrest Whittaker In Detroit
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.
