  My responsibilities are based on a multi-skilling Broadcast Media environment. My strongest skill is VSat Shoot-Editing where I film and edit news, current affairs and documentaries for a series of media outlets in tight deadlines. In the Studio I direct and vision mix small news bulletins and I operate studio cameras. I also edit using several non-linear editing software programs including FCP, Avid, Edius and Quantel. I also sound-mix LIVE shows and prerecorded bulletins. I am an active technical developer adapting the new technology for LIVE broadcasts using VSats and mobile phone internet resources. I am the first person to contact for training requirements and to test new technologies. Show less
