DAWSONRAHEEM

I’m a self-starting optimist. I enjoy being very hands-on and having a

thorough understanding of the inner-workings of the processes and

workflows that rule my day. I find myself constantly trying to innovate and maxi-mize the efficiency of my workday. I’m a

people person and work best in environ-ments where I have others to bounce

ideas around with. I’m intrigued by opportunities that seek to engage both my pragmatic and creative sensibilities.

EDUCATION

Prior to coming to the world of Creative Services, I worked freelance in reality & documentary TV production. While the day-to-day is very different, that production experience provided a wealth of knowledge from which I continue to pull. Here are a handful of those credits:

IN A NUTSHELL

APPLICATIONS I LOVE & USE

Manage the creation, finishing and delivery of Trailers, VOD Suites, TV broadcast spots, Digital/Social Media assets and a host of other AV creative to support the EST and physical releases of Universal Pictures titles domestically and internationally.

Adapt creative assets from existing theatrical campaigns when available or create assets from scratch for titles that didn’t have theatrical campaigns. Approve picture and mix prior to final delivery.

Receive and process incoming requests for UPHE content in 4K HDR & SDR; decipher and clarify requested specs and work with various internal teams to fulfill and deliver final assets.

Created a revamped workflow for 4K HDR

content that dramatically reduced both delivery

time and cost.
