SUMMARY
With my education and experience in TV and film, I have gained valuable industry knowledge and practical business experience in this field. I bring over a decade of hands-on TV and set production expertise, which can be viewed under “Harold Emery” on IMDb. My goal is to introduce professional standards and practices of audio and video production into the classroom. This includes a comprehensive understanding of how audio functions in both natural and studio environments, practical lighting techniques, effective video composition strategies, and common editing practices. Additionally, I aim to emphasize the importance of integrating these technical skills with the overarching goal of clear and impactful communication to the end user.
