ABOUT ME

Film Editor . Director .Producer 

Mercedyz Mitchell

My name is Mercedyz Mitchell, and I am a Full Sail University Show Production graduate with a passion for the screen. The video/film world allows you to create moments that can last a life time, and being a part of that is simply amazing.  Most recently I have been the videographer for the professional soccer team The Sarasota Metropolis.  I recorded all games and managed the production for the live streaming site.  In addition, I recently designed and am managing the website for a new outlet liquidation retailer.  I have over 2 years of experience in directing live events as well as editing for post production.  I am also  doing freelance work creating highlight videos for high school athletes and promotional videos for new businesses.

 

Studying at Full Sail, I was often served as the technical director and engineer for various live events.  . During these live events, I worked to ensure cameras were operating correctly, certifying the accuracy of patch bay connections and that all video crew members received the necessary assistance.  I am also in the pre-production stages with local educators for a documentary to be filmed in Africa and France featuring African Art and Contemporary Black Art outside of the US.

 

I am enthusiastic about pursuing my career in video, but I have also ventured into lighting and audio. I have experience assisting with lighting and installation of LED walls, and I have also led gigs as the head monitor engineer. From my experience through schooling, I have become more familiar with and interested in every aspect of video, lighting and audio.

 

I have also developed my skills through prior work and team experience. I was a lifeguard for the City of Tampa as well as a assistant coach of high school age girls and boys for a club volleyball team. Both of these responsibilities aided in my leadership experience and my team mentality. I have played ten sports over the course of my life and have always been part of a team, whether it was in a leadership role or it involved adhering to the guidance of my mentors. 

 

I look forward to working with others who share my fondness for the production and entertainment industry, and I am eager to find an environment where I can continue to learn, grow, and assist others in any way I can.
