I would also produce high quality photographs from concept to completion for internal and external projects such as JetLines, Up! magazine, training courses, Westnet, advertising, WestJet.com, culture projects, digital signage, event collateral, annual report, EVP and VP headshots, team photos, and other internal communications.My pre-production responsibilities included brainstorming, scripting, storyboarding, pitching, planning, and scheduling. My production responsibilities included lighting setup, shooting with multiple cameras, hair & makeup, script supervision, and directing. My post-production responsibilities included footage ingestion/organization, editing video products all the way through to delivery, photo touchups, file organization of over 55,000 photos over 6 yearsAnother major responsibility I had was the inventory/upkeep of all WestJet audio/visual equipment and the WestJet Studio. This required organizing all of the assets in consistent locations so that everyone on the team knew where the equipment was located at any given time. The Studio required a fresh paint job using studio neutral grey paint, a prop room, and a sound booth. My years of aviation and media production experience helped me produce some of the greatest photos and videos at WestJet Airlines. Show less
