Hi Madam/Sir,
As a solution focused and collaborative Media Production Executive with over 10years’ experience, I submit – with much pleasure – my application for the role mentioned.
After reading the requirements of the job brief, I am certain of my ability to excel in this capacity and I am sure that you will find my skills as an excellent match for your needs.
My organizational talent, communication skills, time management, and accounting ability allow me to supervise efficiently.My experience in Media Asset Management Systems helped me manage assets effectively and efficiently especially in downloading, labelling, ingesting ,archiving or delivering assets as per the requirements. I am result-oriented and able to resolve issues with cross functional departments and familiar with media domains and terminologies. I have previously worked as a QC Technician for DVD contents meant for 4:3 & 16:9 TVs and this let me understand audio/video or subtitle issues quickly. I have experience working on xml files and am familiar with Aspera, Signinant etc as I have worked as a packaging and delivery engineer previously. I am familiar with various tools used in digital media production like FCP, Nexguard, Rosette, Vantage etc.
As an experienced professional in different verticals of the media, I can apply what I learned and utilize my own analysis of the situation to optimise workflows and to coordinate with all teams for getting issues resolved and sorted quickly.With a bit of training to align exactly with your requirements,I am sure my experience is going to be a valuable resource for your organisation.
I thank you for your attention and will be waiting to hear from you so I can fill in any further details.
