As the Productions Director for University of Pittsburgh's official radio station, WPTS-FM, I managed a weekly Live Show. 'Live Show' was a weekly on-air show where local/regional, and sometimes national bands played a set on air and participated in an interview session with me. Besides researching, booking and interviewing bands, the Live Show entailed directing the videographers in camera positioning and movement for the show, delegating staff members to set up and sound check the bands, training videographers how to edit clips for the station's website and Youtube channel, and organizing content for archival and promotional purposes.

University Of Pittsburgh

WPTS-FM is University of Pittsburgh's radio station. As a video director, I filmed and edited weekly live bands that came to the station. I also trained other station members on how to use the camera and editing software (FinalCut Pro), and oversaw their work. The videos were posted on the station's YouTube channel.
