Billion Automotive | Sioux Falls, SD

Video Editor • Producer • Designer

2020-2024

Editor, producer and designer for commercial, social media, and long-form productions; both internal Billion franchises, other out-of-market auto dealerships, and other businesses not related to automotive sales. Also edit audio for radio commercials.

Sometimes follow loosely plotted script direction for commercials. Sometimes incorporate and expand on ‘looks’ established by the Art Department. Just as often as producer, editor and designer; I conceive look and direction of project including music and sound effects.

Was actually hired under the title of Videographer, and I have acted as such on occasion. (In the nearly 28 months employed there, we have only had maybe 20 field shoots and 25 studio productions). Am shooting with both the Canon C-100 and RED EPIC. Have operated both in studio in studio and field situations.

Match both client-specific standards and corporate brand design and logo requirements.

Manage and submit projects through Google docs, Workamajig and internal proprietary tools.
