Patrick "Pat" Burns began his professional career in 1979 while acquiring a customized Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio/Television with an emphasis in Film and a minor in Journalism. Pat worked his way from PA (production assistant) to head studio photographer, cinematographer and optical effects camera operator at a local production company while attending college. "I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work directly in my field during my education. It really solidified the technical and theoretical fundamentals that are the basis of all production. It was the best lab experience a student could ever acquire".

Since 1979 Pat has worked with essentially every Corporation in the Silicon Valley. He was on the crew that produced the media for the Guiness Book of World Records parties for AMD in the early 80's, worked on several of the early productions for Intel and Andy Grove. Was on the crew for the announcement of the IBM PC. In 1983 Pat was the Director of Photography on "Maggini, the Top Hand", a feature length film on the life and times of Charlie Maggini, the first World Champion Rodeo Cowboy. "Charlie was the last of the real cowboys. I was graced with the opportunity to ride with Charlie on his last ride. He was 86 years old. It was and always will be one of the greatest highlights of my career."

In 1984 Pat was contracted to produce "Technology comes to Pakistan", a documentary tribute to the modernization of Pakistan. Pakistan International Airlines funded this program as a headliner promotion to stimulate the people and government of Pakistan to pursue stronger ties to the government and corporations of the United States. Pat and his associates produced and staged this presentation in Pakistan for 300,000 people and a private showing to President Mohammed Zia La Huq and his Joint Chiefs of Staff. "It was a rather tense time in international relations the Afghan/Russian War was in full swing and ships were being bombed in the straits of Hormuz. The last time I saw so many guns was crossing Check Point Charlie in 1974. But this time it was at every stop on our around the world trip."

In 1985 Pat and Still N' Motion began a ten year relationship with Becton Dickinson to assist their Immunocytometry Division that supplied flow cytometry technology to the HIV research world. His experience with the disease landed him a producer role on two technical documentaries with the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. "This was probably the most intriguing relationship of my career. I worked with some of the most talented scientists in the world."

Pat spent four years producing technical Photographic manuals and video productions for the US Navy and Lockheed Missiles and Space. Our goal was to improve the efficacy of assembly on the Trident II missile line. It was extremely successful because the Navy in these top security environments have libraries on the manufacturing floor with detailed manufacturing specifications for the typical assembly line worker. The goal of the Navy was to create a training and procedure manual that the assembly people could efficiently and accurately follow to eliminate errors and re-work. What made this project so successful was that the engineers writing the specifications could see the actual assemblers procedures in step-by-step documentaries. They discovered not so much the error of the assemblers but the actual manufacturing design errors. This approach was extremely beneficial to everyone. So much so that the Navy doubled the contract."

1985 was also the beginning of a long and continuing relationship with Amdahl Corporation. Literally hundreds of programs have been produced for Amdahl by Still N' Motion. "What can I say, I've met a lot of great people at Amdahl." Pat has traveled in 39 countries and has had the opportunity to work with many intriguing individuals. Notably: General Chuck Yeager, President Gerald Ford, George Will, Caspar Weinberger, Bill Walsh, Ray Bradbury, Robert Noyce, Jerry Sanders, Johnny Miller, Tom Watson, Freddy Couples, Dr. Luc Montange, Barbara Mandrell, Roberta Flack, Tony Bennett, etc. "I think when all is said and done, people are all the same. Everybody's just had a little different experience."
