Summary

I work as a camera operator, producer, production editor, and production assistant on multiple video shoots. For BSU Tonight, I produce many video shoots. Production duties include managing, organizing, and scheduling actors for a shoot, scouting and reserving locations, and recruiting the crew. I set up well-composed shots and am creative with the limited resources or time at our disposal. I am skilled in Premiere Pro and experienced at editing well-timed and quick sequences. My goal is to serve people, corporations, and non-profits with videos that get people excited about the services or products they offer.
