My production duties included knowing how to operate a head and body scanner as well as a custom capture rig that allowed us to light the talent to match any environment and then capture it on multiple RED cameras which is beneficial to the scope of work being done. Along with the rig and scanners, I would also operate the Canon 5D camera and be able to set up any stage equipment such as lights, stands, monitors, etc. At the same time, I was also doing office coordinating which included answering phones, setting up calls, ordering office supplies and food, taking notes in reviews with clients and supervisors as well as knowing how to set up a new show and assign tasks in our internal system.

Helping form the group Cleveland City Chuckle Squad aka The Chuckle Squad in February 2011 along with 5 other gentlemen, we create comedy sketches together and post them to youtube for the world to see. We have fun.

Starting off as Production Assistant and moving up to work alongside a great photographer as his assistant in the VFX photography field. Working on numerous sets and different locations gaining knowledge on pre-production and post-production, I advanced myself as a photographer and cinematographer with the skills I acquired while there.

Answering phones, organizing client info and keeping up to date on all current projects and making sure communication between my boss and her clients were clear and up to speed. Sending out a weekly email update to clients about the status of everyone's responsibilities and duties.
