  Line Producer

  I worked in a team of two through the Office of Career and Academic Planning for James Madison University to produce three videos in High Definition. We worked closely in a team and we both put in half of the work. We were responsible for all production on all three videos. Production included shooting 19-hour-long interviews, interviewing the subjects, producing the throughout the creative process, reviewing the footage with our clients to edit all of it down into three 10-15 minute videos. We also helped to drive the content of the videos throughout the process. We edited all of videos in HD in software called Final Cut Pro, and we shot with Sony Z1U and V1U we had to ingest all of the footage that we edited. And we produced 100% of the content that we used including b-roll of the JMU campus, and helped put together the DVD menu and set up the physical media. Show less
