Gary Smith

Working in the television industry since 1994, developing different types programming for various broadcasting and cablecasting entities. Working closely with producers, I have had the pleasure of creating and/or post-producing practically every type of television programming including: series, specials, promotional pieces, commercials, and industrials.

Skills I've developed over the past +25 years in the industry include:

  • Creativity & Innovation – Extensive use of different production tools, such as After Effects, Final Cut Studio, Photoshop, Illustrator, and various plug-ins to realize the artistic vision of clients with the use of unique animation and visual effects.

  • Adaptability – I possess the ability to understand and utilize new equipment, and software quickly. This comes from the countless times I’ve been called upon, under deadline, to finish a project using some new piece of equipment, or software recently acquired by the producers.

  • Quality-Minded Orientation – I constantly strive to deliver the highest quality end product. I feel it is my responsibility as editor and/or producer to markedly improve the final cut, and deliver as close to a flawless project as possible.

  • Collaboration – Working well with others is essential in our industry, and I have developed a working style centered on cooperation, and open communication with my associates.
