I am a videographer and producer with experience in filming and editing television programmes, adverts, corporate and live entertainment.
With 10 years experience, I am highly skilled and have worked across a wide range of projects, including creating the TV programme Más Mascotas. This gave me the opportunity to work creatively on both sides of the camera as I produced, edited and presented the programme. Más Mascotas was commissioned for 12 episodes in *information hidden*, broadcast in 27 cities across Mexico and was the most watched Saturday broadcast in the region. Creating this programme allowed me to take risks with new ideas and taught me how to work well using very few resources.
I am highly experienced in filming live events, having produced, filmed and edited live shows in nightclubs, as well as filming weddings and exhibitions. I have also been on the other side of the camera during live events, as I have presented many live events and live TV shows during my career.
I have my own equipment which includes the latest Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, GoPro Hero 7 Black, the DJI Ronin S, the DJI Mavic Air (drone), light equipment and my own workstation laptop. This enables me to work anywhere and in any environment. I am highly proficient in the following editing software programs: Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Lightroom. I am also able to use DSLR cameras, Panasonic P2 and Blackmagic series. In addition, while it is not my primary area of focus, I have experience in still photography.
Producing live shows and broadcasts have meant that I am accustomed to working at a fast pace, under pressure and to honouring strict deadlines. As Head Producer of Hechos Meridiano and Hechos Noche (daily news programmes) at TV Azteca México, I was able to demonstrate my leadership skills as I directed and managed the production team. I often worked untraditional hours and to tight deadlines and as the news never stops!
