Assistant Editor, working knowledge of Final Cut and Premiere aswell as various other CS4 programs such as After Effects and Photoshop. Familiar with both SD and HD.
Having completed a degree in Film and Video a year ago, I am currently looking to expand my knowledge further within the film and video field. I feel that through the creation of my own films while at university, I have excelled in many areas of film production, predominantly through the pre production stages. I see the opportunity of working as part of a team vital for me to take further steps into a production role. My main interests lie in the editing process and I hope to further my career within this area. I have always been keen to understand and gain the knowledge surrounding new editing software and hardware and its operation, as well as how to maximize its uses to the full potential as well as going the extra mile in house, on set or in the field.
