Senior Edit Assistant / MCR supervisor

Good news I have been promoted to Senior Edit assistant / MCR supervisor

Now my responsibilities DOUBLED! Which is good – I love it actually. Now my work ranges from managing the media ingestors to playing out the shows to be delivered to the broadcasters.

When the edit has been assembled and approved for a play out, the patch deck gets set up to go from the Avid that is playing out the finished edit passing through the Legaliser to make sure the show is with in the legal range for broadcast then goes out to be played on Sony VTR HD Deck and Digi-beta decks

The workload is immense and it is long hours of ingesting, media management and play outs, Footage was shot on Sony cams and saved on SD Cards. On a good day I would be getting anything between 20 – 50 cards to be ingested within 48 hours so they can get wiped and go back out again on a shoot.

SD cards got ingested and managed via Avid Interplay then projects were setup on Avid media composer which was passed on to the editors to edit at online HD resolution.

I am loving how busy work is - learning a lot on the job and expectations are high also its worth mentioning that any mistake means loss of footage ... no pressure!
