EXPERIENCE
Technical Director
For
two episodes, I took on the Technical Director role, where I switched
the 4-camera show and built multiple effects including a triple box
overlay that contained the three talents.
This required me to be proactive and be actively tuned into the show.

Created multiple videos together as a team, this involved months of planning and communication with Rescuing Families, three days of shooting the interviews, and a few weeks of post production. In post production, I worked as the editor for the case study video that focused on the Arcillas Family.
