I Worked on trailers for Mudbound, The Defiant Ones, An Inconvenient Sequel, and The Glass Castle- Stringouts and shot organization, outputs and postings for review, imports, syncing footage were my main tasks.

I Submitted reviews to creative director Skip Chassion and director Robert Rodriquez, who approved all promos and t.v. episodes for El Rey Network. Assisted on hundreds of promos and several television shows while supporting a team of editors and finishing professionals. I overcut 400+ spots and prepped them for mixing and graphics. At the same time I helped maintain all IT hardware, projects and servers for the company. Aspera file transfers, LTO backups, and archive retrieval were common, and I occassionally set up decks for Avid capture, set up edit bays, and dissassembled edit bays for relocation. See less

I edited web promos for an extreme athlete prior to her attempt to row across the Pacific Ocean. I worked with 1TB of footage, requested large amounts of stock footage and graphics work, and utilized my highly developed audio sensibilities.

Ingested a stringout of all media at DNx36 8 bit. Synced audio, logged dailies, created graphics in Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. Outputted for various final deliveries for broadcast and youtube.

I worked on set as a production assistant while filming for several PSA commercials.

I helped organize the footage for 10,000+ media submissions, organizing the footage by subject, keywords, quality, and content ratings. In pre-production I established and developed several VIP partnerships, including partnerships with the TED organization, the Cove Filmmakers, race car drive Leilani Munter, and architect Michael Reynolds.
