I combine creative expertise, organizational skills, and production experience in order to handle all aspects of creative communications with a specialization in video production.
​
From 2010 to 2013,
I moved from PA work to a Production Coordinator for a Los Angeles commercial production company in the 100k-500k range where I specialized in creating the organizational, financial, and legal framework which enabled our team to produce commercials for clients such as McDonalds and Honda, with a primary focus on reconciling budgets and building wrap binders. While assisting production, I also brought cameras to set to document the behind-the-scenes for our social media.
Then in 2014,
I began a creative role as an Associate Media Producer with a DC-Area non-profit, developing campaigns centered around documentaries that highlighted the value the donors provided. I worked with other creatives guiding these campaigns with a cohesive aesthetic, and communicated across many departments and stakeholders with a variety of personalities. I also continued my photographic work, bringing cameras to events for event photography, a skill I continue to hone today with events and freelance headshots.
Since 2017,
I began working with a news media company as a Senior Video Producer. I have been in that role, pitching content, writing and editing scripts, directing production, and editing video for multiple news programs with the Adobe Suite in the fast-paced, 24-hour news cycle, hitting deadlines to keep current with trends and the network's airtime.
​
After 2020,
I've been developing a skillset in 3D environments in Blender and figure drawing to become a 3D storyboard / Previz artist to help directors visual their ideas and streamline production in effects-heavy live action, and in animation.
​
Feel free to reach out to me with any ideas.
I look forward to working with you, Laura Gingrich.
