About Me

Member Since 2012 | Views: 422

As a movie and design business freelancer for the past 12 years, I work primarily as a Production Audio/ Video Technician but also as a Film and Video Editor, Production Coordinator, Locations Manager, Special Effects Compositing Artist, and 3D Generalist. I have access to multiple state-of-the-art camera packages and own a full feature production audio recording package, which I constantly keep updated for production workflows and standards.

Advertising agencies, such as KBS and McGarryBowen frequently bring me on as a video editor because I am familiar with larger workflows. I use all Adobe CC, Premiere, AVID, Final Cut, Vegas, and 3D software, like After Effects, Cinema 4D, 3D MAX, Maya, and Houdini, and I am familiar with video and 3D formats. I have extensive experience working between these mediums doing compositing, matte painting, lighting, color, geometry modeling, and animation for photorealistic effects.

I have edited and coordinated post production workflows on several feature films, like “Blizhniy Boy” and “Lost Warrior” that were shot on 35 mm film, and you’ll find that my experience and expertise are vast as exhibited on my IMDb profile. I am fluent in both English and Russian and have worked as both a technician and translator for film producers, which allows my role to evolve while taking films through post production.

Many of the projects I have worked on have involved ongoing relationships, and I am often hired because of my ability and interest in shifting gears as projects unfold, so I can be involved in as many areas as I am needed. Often, I am one of the first people on production arranging locations, which gives me advance knowledge about potential sound requests, such as disabling noisy machinery, making those requests easier to accommodate when needed. Towards the end of filming, I’m often called upon to sync all the audio and video. In every situation, my goal is to utilize any and all of my skills to help make the environment interactive, creative, and successful.

Thank you for your time and consideration. If my experience and skillsets fit your needs, or if you have questions, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Best regards,
