SOCIAL BITS

Some might say…

It was fantastic working with you Jack. Thank you for many things, but highlights were your collaboration, ideas and patience! - Sheldon Bont - The Valley NL

Working with Jack has been an absolute pleasure. He’s quick thinking, super organised, eager to find creative and technical solutions and has a great relationship with his peers. Jack is able to keep his finger on the pulse of the latest software and technologies, keeping us at the forefront of trends and techniques. He is an asset to any organisation. - Anita Osborne - Executive Producer.

Jack has a wonderful creative attitude towards work, pushing the boundaries of the projects he works on, and adding a special flare to each asset he creates without ever making it feel like "a job he has to do". I have always been impressed with the interesting creative solutions he's had when creating videos and social assets. Lovely to work with. - Tommasso Fontanella - Global Content & production lead at AbInbev.

Workflow

I have experience managing and executing proof of concept campaigns for multiple cloud based video editing softwares, including EditShare + Lucidlink. With that experience I have overseen the structure and process of testing with a team of five editors, delivering results to the post production lead. This allowed us to effectively provide a procurement team into making a suitable decision for our department which in turn results in an agency wide shift in workflow. I have since become a key individual in rolling out this workflow for my current agency.
A highlight with this new workflow has been the event of Global Newsroom's with onsite production + remote post production whilst the automation of files from camera to cloud has taken place, enabling editors to work from camera within minutes.
