Having worked with many film companies and huge Art department teams i am used to working with many and varied groups of people, including world class directors, art directors, production designers and producers.
A few aspects of my work included shooting footage required, editing it for playback on set, creating script specific animations/motion graphics for on set playback, setting up and maintaining a huge computer system (for control room scenes.
Many times i have been required to created and edit obscure video formats and sizes etc to "fit" hardware purchased by props, so i am quite familiar and comfortable with many codecs and hardware.
Due to the unique challenges and requirements of the industry i have found myself becoming very proficient in the Adobe Production suite focusing primairily on After Effects
