About me

I have recently concluded studying a Ma degree in Post Production. I am now on the look out for a new challenge, within the production industry. As you will be able to see from my CV I have gained a wide range of both transferable and specific skills, which relate to working in media production.

I have technical experience editing with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and basic knowledge of Avid. I also have practical VFX experience with Nukex and Adobe After Effects, dealing with motion key framing, compositing, rotoscoping and motion graphics. I have good organisational skills dealing with media ingest, transferring and exporting files, compiling project rushes and completing clip logs.

During the last year I have gained knowledge and technical skills in post-production practices and techniques. I have learnt the importance accurate workflows and developed an understanding of the benefits and limitations that different technology and equipment, may or may not have on a project. I have also learnt the problem solving that is involved in working with these technologies, codec and file formats. I have gained the understanding of the theory behind editing techniques and practices deployed to different formats and genres.

While completing various work experience placements, in post-production environments. I enjoy the diverse range of task encounter each day, along with the fast pace turn around of live projects and changing priorities. I learnt the important of teamwork and organizing projects correctly. I have developed a professional practice to ensure the smooth transition and completion of a project in time to deadlines and transmission.

Over the past year I have undertaken various live briefs, to produce promotional on-line contents for various clients. I have been involved in the filming of star-studded events for Viva Magazine. This material was used to publicise the success of the events on Viva's website. I have also undertaken projects with Manchester based artist Fanny Gogh. It was my role to filmed, produced and edited a variety of show reels of events and exhibitions. To create promotional material that highlights the charity work that Fanny Gogh does for the British heart foundation.

I have a keen interest in the advancement of technology and software and the constantly evolving world of media production. I recently took part in the Adobe Anywhere CS7 Premiere Pro trial and competition. I took apart in the testing of the CS7 Adobe Premiere Pro Anywhere collaborative workflow platform. That allows users to access media across virtually any network any location.

I am also confident with a range of Microsoft programmes such as Word, Excel and Power Point. I am a capable typist, with the ability to pick up new programmes quickly.
