Summary

Enthusiastic video creator and editor eager to contribute to team success through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. Clear understanding of video creation and audio and training in both. Motivated to learn, grow and excel within your company. I am capable of working independently on projects as well as working in a team environment. I do think outside of the box but will only do so when it is advantageous for the project or the direction and success of the company. My Asperger's allows me to think of things and enjoy a perspective which is unique at times.

Additional Information

I am retired.

I can work part-time or contract or, if it is an excellent position, full-time.

My Asperger's is not a disability when it comes to individual or group creativity on projects. I have a deep background in music from Classical to contemporary with a love of progressive and fusion jazz. I can edit music and video and I have excellent propensities for visual composition and a good instinct for what music to use with video in editing and the final product.

As an older person I am really a novice and eager to create and be active in Acting, Music, or Film (movies) or video production from news and special interest features to just having fun creating a homemade or tailored "for you" video composition.

I am open to intern and assistant positions. As long as I evolve and hone my skills.

If I had it to do over again as young person I would direct myself in being a movie director, or music composer or a very skilled actor.

I still can achieve some of these goals but my time frame is different form a younger person.

If you want out of the box thinking and creativity i can give that to your company.

There are no bad ideas. Only limitless opportunities to creativity and uniqueness
