Summary

Currently Studying for my bachelor’s degree in Screen Production at Swinburne University. This degree focuses on smaller productions, as well as classes going over Photography, Videography, Podcasts and many more. I am confident in many different software's including Unity, Premier Pro, Illustrator, After Effects, Photoshop, Pro Tools, Audition, Animate and DaVinci Resolve. Apart from the software's I have lots of knowledge on set design, lighting, Black Magic, Cannon and Sony Cameras, as well as running my own twitch and youtube channel for several years.

As stated in my resume, I've been a producer on all of these projects. With all of these projects, my job is to get everything prepared and organised for production. This includes organizing actors, going onto star-now, placing an audition and choosing different actors. As well as hiring equipment, hiring out locations, location scouting, time-tabling the shoot days. Now this just includes pre-production, once production has wrapped, we now shift into post-production as well. Which includes communicating to different artists, sound designer, animator and making sure we've supplied them with enough information.
