As Production Director and Lead Technical Director (TD) for IVL, I was responsible for the successful delivery of high-quality live corporate broadcasts, primarily used for training and business communications. I worked daily in a client-facing role, with high-level executives, on up to the CEO. Responsibilities include staffing, budget, and equipment management, pre-production tasks (course/message development, identification and design of needed media elements), studio and equipment preparation for broadcast day, and direction of the actual broadcast delivery. I was also responsible for the post-show workflow, including transcoding, uploading, and media library management (MAM).As Director of a broadcast, I worked with talent/instructors to assist in their presentation. Controlling multiple robotic HD cameras, virtual sets, a video server, a character generator/graphics system, a high-end production switcher and audio console, I worked with presenters to direct and switch the broadcast. Broadcast feeds were sent to multiple receive sites, also equipped with HD cameras and live microphones, so that the experience was a 2-way real-time interactive/collaborative communication. For example, one of our clients (AT&T) has a nationwide network of 35 broadcast receive sites, along with remote stages and international receive sites.I was also a member of our marketing team, responsible for branding, website development, and production of marketing videos, including script writing, voice-overs, etc. I was also involved in the custom software development, testing and debug process, and was responsible for on-camera presentation of product demonstrations.Finally, to make sure our daily operations and productions were the best they could be, I was a member of the quality control team. Part of these responsibilities included research and testing of new technology, and participation in major industry conferences, such as NAB.

Contracted by an unlisted organization. (Signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement - I could tell you, but...)As Post Production Supervisor for this project, I was responsible for developing the post production workflow and coordination of dailies/rushes from multiple studios nationwide. Working with a team, I helped to establish the "look and feel" for the programs. In addition, I was responsible for daily operations of multiple edit workstations and editors, including weekly production, transcodes and uploads. I developed automated and streamlined procedures for processing graphics and artwork, including writing programming scripts/code, and developing templates and style guidebooks. I established sharing and collaboration systems using Google Docs, Box.com, Dropbox, Vimeo, etc. to facilitate a geographically diverse team. And, finally, when the content was approved by one of our multiple producers, I contributed to the development of a proofing and quality control system, to confirm that final output was top notch.Over the course of this phase of the project, over 500 videos were created and uploaded to a public, searchable website.
