Show has Aired!

All of the shows that I was heavily involved with have aired successfully. I cant remember the last time I was home but I am glad they have made it on to the box.

There was soo much media to manage and deliver plus the deadline was very tight.

Leopard Films conversion to HD and Workflow

I have accepted the offer from Leopard Films; Leopard is perhaps most famous for Cash in the Attic , but it does other variety of shows and has made dramas too.
I am now overlooking the postproduction and managing the edit assistants. In my first few weeks I have set up various seminars and presentations to talk to the production teams about HD, Tapeless Workflow best practices. The team and I have set up various checkpoints and milestones to track the progress of our conversion to HD and Tapeless.
That means managing, consolidating and Offsite storing many tapes and digi-betas and when I say many I mean 15 thousand to be precise
We are running on Avid Media Composer 5 now. I am still working on what kit is best to buy with the budget given to Edit in HD more updates on that soon.

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
