I assisted the Showrunner in the production of this fantastic educational live action and animation children’s television show, which aims to raise the next generation of Humanitarians. The format was a mixed media puzzle piece; a very complex medium of being able to strategically track every detail to cater to everyone’s specific needs and processes, showcasing my technical proficiencies, time management, and precise communication approaches. I focused on development, production, post-production, and outreach. I was hands on in all aspects on set during filming to insure that everything ran smoothly by supporting the production team, company, and clients, updating crew/contact lists, creating call sheets, maintaining current versions of scripts, facilitating brainstorming sessions, assisting with the production of last minute celebrity shoots in other cities, sight unseen, helping break down the budget, organizing Kellee’s digital and physical files, heavy emailing, booking travel, scheduling meetings and calls with charities/non-profits and high-profile clients.
