Like a design director, but with a lot more technical responsibilities added. I've taken on the role as the Chyron lead for the CBS Television Stations group, as well as the lead for Grass Valley Vertigo on air graphics systems. I've lead projects on implementing advanced L-Bar graphic templates in use at a number of our stations in the group, integrating various data sources and constructing a data entry and photo upload web utility as part of the rollout. I lead the graphics and branding for CBS Philadelphia, and work extremely closely with the engineering department in commissioning, troubleshooting, and implementing our Chyron Prime system, plus a wide number of other technical concerns.I'm also happy to jump in and help with writing, producing, editing, and mixing station branding and promotions. I handle the vast majority of station photography, including talent headshots, promtional photography, staff photography, and more.
