Stepping out onto the curb just beyond the University of Southern California campus, John tightly clasped his diplomas in one hand and the classified section of the newspaper and trades in the other. He contemplated the question of how to get his filmmaking career off the ground. As irony would have it, he returned to USC, not as a student, but as an employee working for the television broadcast facility in the School of Engineering. It was a temporary position editing a video series of lectures on artificial intelligence. Throughout the course of editing the lectures on artificial intelligence, which included over a hundred hours of classroom footage, John became familiar with the operation of the station and began proposing ideas for a new video magazine series which he called USClose-Ups. He produced over two dozen USClose-Ups. These programs were used as filler between the station's satellite broadcasts to off-campus engineering students. It wasn't too long before Alex Ro

    John did a good job and was very responsive. It took three or four months to get the finished artwork, but I had communicated to him early in the process that there was no need for hurry, and he kept up communications with me throughout. When I told him I was ready for the artwork, he delivered it promptly. I have no doubt that if I had needed the artwork sooner, he would have sent it upon request.

    John did a great illustration for a logo project I needed refreshed, and the client was very happy. My only concern was that he was sometimes away from his studio, and communication was then impossible. But otherwise, very pleasant to work with, and communicative/clear with all aspects.

    John McMahon is brilliant conceptual writer. I knew the moment I saw his portfolio that he was the man for the job-but with my time constrains and budget, I wasn't sure if he would accept it. But he did. John not only graciously agreed to accept the job; he provided copy and concepts (within an almost impossible time frame) that was well beyond my expectations. Needless the say, the client we very pleased.and so was I.
