Media Watch and Media Bites
Digital Producer
Media Watch is a long-running media analysis show broadcast on ABC TV and iview. Media Bites is the short form, lighter version of the show available online.
In my time as Digital Producer I have researched and written dozens of stories for the program while also managing the show’s digital output. This includes creating digital assets such as thumbnails and other images, editing down broadcast shows for online distribution, and finding shareable moments/stories for a social media audience.
Media Bites is a digital only show that has seen me write, shoot, edit, create graphical elements and distribute episodes on a weekly basis via TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter) and YouTube.
The Checkout
Field Producer
The Checkout was a consumer affairs and sketch comedy show that ran for six years on ABC TV.
As Field Producer I would manage the day-to-day running of our set, acting as first assistant director to ensure shoots ran smoothly. This was in addition to liaising with heads of departments over any demands they had, managing the crew’s safety and wellbeing, and keeping the shoots on schedule.
The Chaser’s Election Desk
Field Producer
The Chaser’s Election Desk was an election special series that ran during the 2016 Federal Election.
No two days were the same on this show. As Field Producer I was in charge of wrangling our crew and talent, and managing our shoots on location. Most segments were shot ‘guerilla-style’ with me running second camera. In this role it was important to know the limitations of our crew and how we could safely execute complex and risky stunts.
Good Game and Good Game: Spawn Point
Director and Series Producer
Good Game and Good Game: Spawn Point were two long running shows all about gaming, broadcast weekly on ABC TV with Good Game: Spawn Point targeting a younger audience.
In my brief time with the show I wrote scripts for studio, directed talent in studio and location, researched packages and helped manage the day-to-day workflow of the team.
While working on Spawn Point I helped create one of the ABC’s first daily, digital-only show for kids.
