Our primary responsibility was to watch raw footage and write detailed tape logs, constructed from concise minute by minute summaries of actions, locations, and developing story lines. We indexed legal documents and personal information for all non-cast individuals that appeared in footage. Editors and assistant editors occasionally requested our assistance locating specific footage. We would alert the story department when we discovered footage that had potential for compatible incorporation into established story arcs.

Production duties were to orchestrate, construct, and disassemble studio and in-the-field sets involving lighting, audio, and camera departments. Additional duties were to catalog and inspect licensing and distribution agreements for accuracy and renewals, and keep the studio organized, to facilitate a fluid, flexible, and efficient workplace.

Post production duties consisted of VFX as a compositor for the feature "Bad Kids Go 2 Hell", later re-titled "Bad Kids of Crestview Academy." Aside from that film, I was assigned to construct digital media and footage for an instructional series available via streaming & DVDs.
