Rich Crooks has been creating Described Video (DV) since 2014 with a commitment to providing the best DV in the marketplace. As the company’s reputation for speed and excellence has grown, so too has the list of clients that the company now serves.
Rich Crooks moved to Vancouver from hometown Calgary in 1991. He has been involved in the audio post-production business since 1994, when he moved from working as a technical engineer into the multi-faceted world of audio post-production. Rich has edited and mixed countless TV shows, radio spots, multimedia projects, musical projects and as well as working in the area of audio for film. In 2004, he began working in the area of Described Video part-time. Since then, he has written and produced many DV projects and it has taken up more and more of his time, leading to the formation of Beyond Description Sound Services early in 2014.
