Cooper Lanning

Cut down raw footage into story-driven sequences for use in full- length episodes. Worked closely with multiple story producers to find sound bites and specific footage, create string-outs, and provide help where needed. Attended episode screenings with the EP and producers to provide feedback during real-time brainstorming sessions regarding the episode.

Development coordinator that provided assistance to the VP of Development on new, unscripted projects from their conception to pitch. This included condensing interviews with potential clients in Avid to create interesting and digestible promotional videos and building sizzle reels with the editing department, including collaborating in After Effects. I also created and refined pitch decks to show to networks. Altogether, I provided a solid bridge of communication between departments to ensure projects were executed properly and on time.

As the lead editor, I was responsible for receiving and cataloguing all master files necessary for distribution, quality checking the work of my team, and providing a means of communication between departments, offices, and managers. Using Premiere, I ensured that all new information placed on the master files was correct which meant looking over hundreds of unique names and phone numbers on a daily basis. Together with other department heads, I tracked files to their respective stations and would work with them to solve any issues that would arise.

Provided various assistance to multiple departments, both in the office and on set. I helped coordinate client meetings, monitor reception and process expense reports; on set I supported Producers and Directors alike making sure the shoots ran smoothly, from assisting talent, to making runs, to hands-on needs.
