Gear Seven specializes in creating branded and commercial video content, short films, and music videos aimed at building an emotional connection with viewers. We collaborate with artists, creative agencies, directors, and partners to produce video content that attracts, inspires, and connects. As someone who has worked for a division of the largest record label in the world and subsequently joined an award-winning production company, I bring a unique perspective and skillset to all creative projects that I'm involved in. From my experience in various roles representing both the client and the crew, I understand the expectations that come from each side and the scope required to fulfill both creative and practical production needs. At Gear Seven specifically, I - Partner with Producers to oversee and schedule the entire production process of all video projects, from pre-production through post-production - Communicate directly with clients and creative teams from start to finish: contracts, invoices, timelines, revision notes, finishing, final delivery, etc. - Regularly manage multiple video projects simultaneously + successfully - Implemented streamlined project management processes, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced production time - Produce internal creative content and collaborative spec projects for footage licensing and brand partnership opportunities while developing innovative video concepts Show less
