I filmed interviews with several dozen young interns in various cities throughout Israel, editing the interviews into a weekly YouTube series designed to promote the WUJS programs.

I captured countless hours of footage and made simple rough cuts using Avid Media Composer, as well as connecting the relevant tape decks to PCs around the office to prepare for capture.

I taught video-making classes 32 hours a week to campers age 9-16. This included guiding the children through the processes of screenwriting, acting, cinematography, and editing (using Adobe Premiere) to create a polished film within two weeks. Additionally, I was responsible for filming all camp-related events outside of class time.

I logged hundreds of takes during dozens of shoots for instructional videos, and composed dozens of rough cuts of the material using Final Cut Pro. In several cases, I drafted final cuts as well.
