  In my time at CVES, I spanned a variety of roles beginning as an editor for previously written content and branching out into creating a brand new project and writing content of my own. Both of these tasks required in-depth editing skill, extensive translation between Japanese and English, creative writing ability, and independent, strict time management. Upon completion of scripts, I took on the roles of both actor and film crew along with my partner—who shouldered the greater portion of filming tasks while I shouldered the greater portion of acting and direction. After aiding in video editing, quality management was another of my tasks as I checked and ensured product quality. Show less
