Experience

• JC Productions

  Video Producer

  1 - 5 Employees 2014 - Current

  I have provided video production services for a number of clients, ranging from small, local clients, to nationally recognised organisations.

  Communication is key in this role, to keep the client up to date with current progress, obtaining approval for any changes or suggestions. What is also highly important is gaining understanding the fundamental aspects of client businesses and organisations as well as their core values, and reflecting that in the end product.

  Projects I have been involved in include:

  ·       A number of live events, performances and shows.

  ·       Promotional and corporate videos for local businesses.

  ·       Internal cases studies and learning materials.

  ·       Multilingual video tutorials.
