George Loizou

Production Assistant/Creative Writer
Sidcup,Kent

Summary

The two years I have worked in the creative industry have been built upon nearly a decade of education and volunteering, not to mention being added to the workplace experience I have gained whilst working my part time job during my studies at Ravensbourne University, where I achieved a First Class Bachelor's Degree in Digital Film Production. This prepared me for my most recent role as a Production Assistant where I undertook numerous admin (such as scheduling, client liaison, asset management and note taking) and creative (including script writing, designing moodboards, editing video content on software such as Premier Pro) responsibilities across several outstanding projects such as Caillou, LEGO Friends and The Jangles, improving upon my ability to work with a deadline and enhanced my teamwork skills whilst working with several production teams based both in and outside England. My work, during this time period, includes both live action and animation production, which has allowed me to work in both areas effectively. If hired, these years of experience will be at your service as well as my second to none determination to work hard and achieve whatever goals are set for me.

Volunteering

From 2014 to 2016 I was part of a scheme with the Tag Rugby Trust. For two years, myself and a group of twenty others raised a total of one thousand five hundred pounds each. At the end of this, in the summer of 2016 we then used the funds to go to Zambia and teach approximately thirty to forty poverty stricken children tag rugby.
