COVER LETTER:
Dear Perspective Employer,
Bringing my creativity, know-how with a wide skill set, and drive for to learn more in a rewarding and challenging environment is what I can bring to your company and project. Making your next project shine.
I have been actively working in multimedia since 2000 in a variety of facets such as web design, print production, video editing, and DVD authoring. Projects have brought me in touch with small business, silicon valley business, museums, and pro sports. All had a unique need ranging from photo restoration, banners, Flash, actionscripting, or advertisement animation/design, video taping/editing and audio work.
These skills employ a variety of programs that I know well such as PhotoShop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Quark, MS Office and more. I am keenly aware of the distinct differences between the web and print worlds and why they are different. Also, I am aware of compression techniques and methods for MPEG2, AVI, and quicktime (mov) files, various codecs and video formats (NTSC, PAL, 16:9, NTSC HD and SD).
Furthermore, I am a very computer savvy and am comfortable on both MAC and Windows platforms. I can diagnose and correct many issues with minimal loss of time.
I do have my own editing suite, which is fully loaded, or I can come to your facility or work off-site with DSL connection for transferring of files. Looking for fulltime work or steady contract.
