My responsibilities ranged from assisting the camera department in gripping, setting up cameras, and lighting to being in charge of script supervising and being involved in all aspects of production.

Assisting blocking off traffic/pedestrians at Navy Pier for Aerial Unit.

Working on a small independent project I had to multitask many of the aspects involving post production. I was in charge of transcoding footage, synching sound and footage, organizing bins, and collaborating with the Director to create a final product that we were both happy with.

At Nolan Collaborative I fine tuned most of my post production skills. My tasks included but were not limited to logging footage, transcoding footage, editing projects, creating rough cuts, synching audio, assisting in graphic design/editing, exporting different project formats, and uploading them ready to be delivered to different clients.

Working on a small independent project I had to multitask many of the aspects involving post production. I was in charge of transcoding footage, synching sound and footage, organizing bins, and, since I was the Director, creating a product that represented the Cobra Lounge and what it is about.

Some of my tasks included sending call sheets daily, directing background extras, filling any position that wasn't available for the day (i.e. sound, art p.a., script supervisor), answering any questions the crew or cast had about the production, and help the First Assistant Director in any way.

I would have to capture captivating stills of the set that would be useful in promoting the film.

As the Casting Director, I had to set up casting calls, create sign in sheets, and come up with a marketing plan for the casting calls. I had to dwindle the mass call into the top choices for the Director to see.
