Craig Dobbin Composer Extraordinaire

Talented Craig Dobbin has been creating music since he was a baby! He wanted a toy saxophone for his two year old birthday, but his mom couldn't find one so she bought him a toy piano instead! He plays a multitude of instruments including guitar, drums and piano. Craig composed the music for the entire Dive Into Your Imagination® series, Ocean Life A to Z book/DVD and Visions of the Sea. He has enjoyed working with the Dive Into Your Imagination crew because, "Annie is so enthusiastic and gets so excited, it is contagious. There is nothing better than someone who cares about the quality instead of the deadline. She puts everything she has into a project. 100% of her heart is in everything she does."

Craig has worked as a composer for the past two decades. Craig has composed and produced music for four feature films, over 100 television documentaries, 5 series for television and more than 20 national commercials. He thrives on giving an emotional sense to what we view and creates music to convey that emotion.

Mat Broughton gets to live his dreams every day! "I’m an apprenticing underwater filmmaker living in Santa Barbara,California. I produce videos so that we can inspire others to 'Dive into their imagination and live their dreams.'” MatieB works as an editor and camera assistant. He shoots with the Panasonic HVX 200 and an Underwater Gates Housing with Green Force Lights. As a recent Graduate from Brooks Institute of Photography, MatieB, has a complete understanding of still photography, photoshop, video, editing and Final Cut Pro. He has interned with Annie Crawley for the past year and has just joined the crew.

MatieB has always been in love with the ocean. Ever since he was a little boy his father would take him to the beach and teach me about the animals they would find in the tide pools. "When I was about seven, I asked my father about his scuba gear. He was more than happy to show me and he even let me breath off his tank and regulator! This was my very first experience with scuba and I’ve been hooked ever since!"
