Media Experience:
Production Assistant –
- Munjoy Hill Media
Evergreen Credit Union Commercial
Production Assistant
Portland, ME APR. 2014
My first commercial production opportunity was this banking commercial that was shot over a period of 3 days. My role in this was being the PA, helping carry gear, set up lighting, assisting with props as well as other things that the producer needed. It was a fun experience for me to put my knowledge at the time to a real shoot. - Munjoy Hill Media
Tufts University Non-Violence Conference
Production Assistant
Medford, MA JUN. 2014
My second PA assignment was this one that took place at the university at Tufts. My roles this time included operating a camera as well as going off to other events to record the sessions on my own. With the help of other professionals I was able to learn and apply new operations in videography, interviews and operating a broadcasting switcher. This over night assignment paved the way to learning the dynamics of independent producing and the pre-production values for a good production.
Videographer –
- Coaching For Colburn Documentary, Hartford, CT
Independent Contractor – Videographer
Portland, ME AUG. 2015
As an independent contractor for this documentary, I was requested to gather some b-roll of a local minor league baseball game. With a list of specific shots, I was provided a press pass to allow myself into the stadium to take video for this documentary. With a better understanding of production, I tackled being an introvert and handled the assignment with success. It became a good experience meeting the people along the way as I tried my first solo press assignment. Being able to film a public event with consideration of the public and with officials was beneficial for future ventures. With my client in a few states away, using the internet to transfer data taught me what services are available for high-speed/ file transfers.
- University of Southern Maine
Communications and Media Studies Marketing Video
Videographer
Portland, ME APR. 2015 – Present
The Communications and Media Studies department looking for a student(s) to help develop a marking video, I was tasked with gathering B-roll, interviews and other footage of students in the production studios. Having access to proper university equipment, I was able to apply my education to recording interview sessions with professors as well as b-roll of student labs and other footage towards the marketing video.
- University of Southern Maine
Residential Life
Photographer/ Videographer
Portland, ME SEP. 2015 – JAN. 2016
Being a videographer for Residential life, a calender of events provided me with a plan to attend three different labs I chose to cover. STEM, Innovation and Tourism and Honors are the labs I attended to record some interesting footage. The aim of this position is to create one-minute promotional marketing videos for each of the labs. These videos would be used on the USM web page in the place of current still photos. Using my own personal equipment to record footage, being able to plan ahead and manage my time for each lab was critical to ensure I am able to get valued activities of students. Communication with professors was a learning experience, much like reporters looking for an interview.
Team Leader / Producer –
- New England Film Academy
Young Film Maker’s Summer Camp / Teen Film Maker’s Workshop
Team Leader/ Counselor
Portland, ME JUN. 2015 – AUG. 2015, JUN. 2016 – AUG. 2016
As a Team Leader at the camp, I helped educate, supervise, guide and coordinate a small group of children in writing, filming and editing a short movie. The young portion of the camp included children from 10 to 13. This camp taught the children the fundamentals of film making from, writing scripts, to how to frame shots and editing. The teen side of the camp was between children from 14 to 17. With the teen portion of the camp, the program was similar to the young film makers, but with actors and higher level of production. At the end of each portion of the youth and teen camps, we have a premier for the children and their parents where the team leaders presented the kids and their films along with the camp creators.
