Hello, my name is Jimmy Slaughter and I am a Freelance TV and Video Production Specialist in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex

I am a Texas native who has been working in many different areas of video production in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for nearly two decades. I have been involved with a variety of projects including: corporate web videos, live event videography, short films, commercials, and news, but the majority of my work has been in TV sports.

I started my career working on the sidelines of sporting events, such Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, and Texas Rangers games; wrangling a video cable, assisting in the technical set up of a television production, and eventually running handheld cameras.

I’ve since moved on to Video Engineering, Directing/Technical Directing, and Tech Managing. Sometimes, the action inside a TV truck can be more exciting than what’s happening on the field of play in a stadium. I have worked on nationally televised productions, regional broadcasts, and even online-exclusive events. Some of the clients I have worked with over the years are: FOX Sports Southwest(now known as Bally Sports Southwest), Turner Sports (TNT & TBS), NFL Network, Major League Baseball(MLB), PBR, The American Rodeo, the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Stars, the Dallas Cowboys, the NBA G League, and the WNBA.

I am a proud University of North Texas alum. GO MEAN GREEN! While there, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Radio, Television, and Film and served as the Sports Director of the campus TV station, North Texas Television(NTTV). My student work, directing live basketball broadcasts and news segments were recognized with awards from The Society of Professional Journalists and an Emmy® from the Texas Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts.
