Skills
I have a complete knowledge of union and guild rules and regulations and the confidence that I can handle any responsibility that I am called on to perform to completion. I have valuable skills that are helpful in pre- and post- production. I am fluent on Avid, ProTools, Final Cut and Logic7. I can cut film on a flatbed and have had some experience doing telecine. I have worked in all film and video formats currently in use. I have a working understanding of scheduling using Movie Magic or EP. I am experienced with keeping a crew running throughout the shooting schedule. I am good at thinking on the run and under pressure. I bring a hard and clear-headed work ethic to the table as well as a vast professional and life experience.
