I edited some Behind The Scenes and about 18 Do-It-Yourself videos that were intended for the Fix It & Finish It website but were never posted by the people in charge of the website.

I transferred media for 16 cameras and 2 audio rigs from cards to hard drives, organizing it then making sure that it was shipped successfully to Post. I was also tasked with supplying clips and stills whenever needed as well as maintaining a before and after photos of all work spaces (120 total).

I worked on editing three episodes, two were done in FCPX then we switched to Avid for one before I changed positions. I had to sync video and audio from 5 cameras and 2 audio sources. In total I worked with video footage from 10 cameras (including GoPros and DSLRs).

I was the first person to edit an episode of Fix It & Finish It, along with the EP and DP I formed the blueprint of the shows style and storytelling technique. I only received credit for one episode but I worked on three.

As a PA on Fix It & Finish It, I was responsible for making sure all branded items (waters, equipment, etc) were properly greeked, I helped with loading and unloading equipment and construction materials, as well as driving, making supply runs and completing all other duties that were assigned to me.

Moving all furniture from picture houses, laying Ram Board, moving lighting and camera equipment, helping with set decoration, fire watching, cleaning and packing up everything at the end of the day as well as making runs.

My responsibilities on this job were primarily driving people to and from the airport and the location scouts as well as taking care of lunch and returning rental cars.
