I am an expert in the production of short formats for television and radio and social media, I am familiar with video editing (using final cut and adobe premiere), use of audio recording equipment (Marantz, zoom recorders), audio editing software (final cut, adobe audition) Adobe after effects, adobe Illustrator, Adobe fresco, Pro create , Moho animation software, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint MS Word, Corel Draw, and Photo shop.
