About the Candidate

Hi! 👋 I’m Xavier, a creative professional with academic experience in filmmaking and photography.

As a curious, purpose-driven, and ambitious professional, I channel an expansive, hands-on understanding of creative project development learnt through experimentations across numerous areas of academic studies and success.

My skills and 🏆 proudest achievements:
• Spearheaded the professional-grade, multi-camera live broadcast of my university’s premier sports event across multiple locations. Used 3D LiDAR scanning technology during location recce to create an accurate model of the venue in Blender to ensure that my plans are based on accurate data, which served as an invaluable tool for execution of creative and logistical aspects of the production, such as determining optimal camera angles and the necessary lengths of cables. Trained on Blackmagic Design ATEM Broadcast Studio, ATEM Production Studio, Smart Videohub, HyperDeck, using Atem Software Control and OBS.
• Transformed the basketball team’s profile and elevated my university’s visibility by producing a multicamera production of their season-opening game, leading a crew of 20+ students and captivating a wide-reaching audience of over 1,000 viewers with an above average CTR of 12.3%.
• Orchestrated a transformative marketing strategy for the University of Salford’s Men’s Basketball Team, including the design and distribution of eye-catching posters and leaflets during a successful guerrilla marketing campaign. Used Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to creating captivating social media posts and high-quality photography, culminating to a 50% surge in Instagram followers from 400 to 600, bolstering their online presence and campus recognition, thereby paving way to increased funding.
• Investigated and analysed linguistics and language features to reveal their impact on power dynamics within conversations, helping me to deftly navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and facilitate effective communication among team members. Additionally, trained in mental health, conflict resolution, and unconscious bias leadership to foster positive relationships, reduce stress, and enhance team cohesion.
• Honoured as a semi-finalist at the San Francisco Arthouse festival for my experimental film, “Liquid Architecture,” loved by audiences for its stunning approach to exploring the human vs. artificial perception of reality via integrating the use of AI-generated visuals.
