I have excellent qualifications to bring to you, including 8 years of dynamic experience and training in video capturing, editing, production and 3D animation. I offer many proven abilities that I believe qualify me to be a significant asset to your organization including:
- Ability to apply creativity and vision to the successful production and development of videos, 3D animation, CDs and websites. Projects have included 2 hour video of the local high school play and a 2 1/2 minute 3D animation sequence.
- Highly effective organizational abilities with a continuous commitment to follow-through, detail and meeting all timelines.

I look forward to discussing these and other qualifications I offer during a personal interview at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Brian Bell
