About LightStream Associates

All video carries a message, and good video does that with emotional power. 

It is a force that can and should move people. It should transport the audience. We believe that a truly memorable program demands more than the skill to choreograph words and voices, music and rhythm, composition and lighting, continuity and common sense. It demands a storyteller’s instinct. It also demands a mature, professional understanding of each client’s needs, marketplace and mission. We are veterans of this craft. In every detail, on every level, we take pride in producing work that captures both the heart and the mind. It's our mission to do that. Consistently.

Bob Pierce

Director of Photography / Video editor

With twenty years of experience as a producer, still photographer, videographer, editor and sound designer, Bob has had the pleasure of working with some of the best producers and production companies in New England.  He now operates LightStream’s independent video editing facility in Newton, MA, delivering complete broadcast-quality post production services.  

As a director of photography, Bob’s work has a distinct "film look," achieved through careful attention to lighting, filters and camera settings.  Every project is unique, and he is always focused on creating the look-and-feel that gives each one its own personality.   

Sound design is in Bob’s DNA.  As an offshoot of his years of work with voices and music for serious productions, he co-founded "Head and Leg," a comedy sound-collage group that became a regular contributor to NPR's “All Things Considered" and "Morning Edition." 

In 2004 Bob's first historical documentary, "Four Theatres: Remembering Portsmouth in the Age of Vaudeville" was broadcast on New Hampshire Public Television and featured in several film festivals.
