DELIVERING ON COMPLEX PROJECTS

You can leverage the full range of my abilities – project management skills, technical expertise, creative vision and work ethic – to develop and deliver content across multiple platforms.

Case Study: A Day In the Life

Ever since the groundbreaking Day in the Life of America project in 1986, photojournalists have collaborated to present slice-of-life visual stories depicting 24 hours in a community’s experience. After working as a photographer, then a videographer, then the video editor of several Day in the Life stories, I was asked to coordinate a series of five Day in the Life features for a local news chain.

The series was published as heirloom special section inserts and as multi-media web content. The initiative demanded rolling schedules in which planning for one story overlapped execution of another and editing and technical production of a third until all five were delivered. One of the sections, "Oak Park: Our Home, Our Lives" was awarded Best Photojournalism for a special section by the Suburban Newspaper Association.

Complex, Comprehensive

This multi-project initiative spanned five months from series concept through publication and web posting of the final installment. I was responsible for:

• Identifying unique subjects in each community,
• Scheduling photographers and videographers,
• Consolidating and editing content,
• Supervising layout of print pages,
• Creating multi-media presentations to anchor each community’s Day in the Life web page,
• Composing original scores for each of those presentations, and
• Overseeing staff to design and develop web pages.
