AssemblyTV Live Reporter / Editor
Assembly Organizing / Livecrew
(Non-Profit; Events Services industry)
August 2003 — August 2008 (5 years 1 month)
During each August, I was a part of a small team that produce (mostly) live content for broadcast to the Finnish nation (1.2 million households) and the internet.
The content is very technical in nature, and is related to the "demoscene" where programmers produce non-interactive works of audio/visual art for a big screen viewed by >5000 people at the event and countless others around the globe.
The live features usually involve interviews with little preparation, requiring "on-the-spot" thinking, in addition to thoroughly pre-researched inserts with sponsors, detailing their experiences and offers etc.
As of 2005, I started taking on a larger role, and now stand as an "unofficial" team leader due to my experience in the role. -
