Who is Duchin

Duchin Productions founder Jay Duchin traces his love of video back to the age of 10 when he was frequently found hiding behind cameras. Despite dreams of becoming a mechanical engineer; his algebra grades told a different story and set Jay’s video career into motion. It turns out that video production and mechanical engineering have a lot in common and enabled Jay to combine his passions for creating and innovating.

Case in point, Jay purchased a milling machine, so he could build his own custom camera mounts to accommodate challenging shoots.  When he needs something that doesn’t exist, he simply heads for his workshop to build it from scratch.

Helping companies of any size and industry communicate their message through video is very gratifying for Jay. His favorite compliment is when a clients asks, “Are you finished already?” Since he edits his own footage, his turnaround is fast, saving his clients time and money.

Outside of work, Jay volunteers his time with numerous non-profits and human rights organizations. He is also a trustee of Children’s Center for Communications/Beverly School for the Deaf in Beverly Massachusetts.
