Summary

Orderly and meticulous Strong work ethic Team player Multitasker Quick learner Specific to this position English is my native language Am well-trained in the core aspects of film/television/video production, including the technical aspect as well as the logistical aspect, such as dealing with people in charge of certain locations, and preparing for the next day Very technically oriented Proficient in Adobe Premiere Knowledgeable in Adobe After Effects Well-versed in the various video formats General I am an American oleh of almost 10 years. I have recently finished my final year of my B.A. in Communications at Ariel University, where I specialized in film and television production. There I was professionally taught all of the core aspects of film and television production, including cinematography, directing, editing, sound recording, and live television broadcast. During the last 2 summers of my degree, I worked on student films for my school in a variety of positions, from assistant camera, to lighting, but most primarily as the production sound mixer, which I am particularly well-versed in. I also join productions as I find work, generally as a production assistant. I am very technically oriented and have a broad understanding of different computer-related layouts. I freelance edit on Adobe Premiere and am quite comfortable working with a variety of media, both video and sound files. Being that I am very technically oriented, I am also capable of a great amount of multitasking while working. I have a very strong work ethic and don’t rest until the given task is completed, and I am a firm believer in a strong team effort being the key to success in any work environment.
