  Final cut equipped

  May 2007 - Sept 2011

  As a Second Camera Assistant, my role was pivotal in the camera department. Working closely with Focus Pullers and Directors of Photography to ensure flawless camera operations. As a liaison between production teams and the rental house, I managed equipment preparations , routine technical checks and documentation. Every shoot brought new challenges, but this experience had taught me foundational camera operations, organizational aptitude and cross-team collaboration. With this hands-on experience in Camera Grip and Lighting, I was consistently immersed in the heart of the action. Working closely and under the supervision of Gaffers and Key Grips to craft lighting setups and constructing camera support systems such as car rigs, dollies and cranes. This role has enriched my technical and teamwork skills.
