My name is Jaya-Lakshman, I'm previously a freelance producer for the BBC audio and digital sector, working across different types of content creation for Radio 1, 1Xtra, 6Music & BBC Sounds. I am now concentrating solely on TV and film and hope I can be of service.
TV experience, I’ve assisted on VT’s, in studio and on-location shoots. I have been responsible for; keeping detailed story logs, managing consent forms, looking after talent, driving MPV's, assisting the drone team and helping and working with kit (cameras, lighting, boom etc). I have been the key point of communication between Production and the crews on the ground. Experience dealing with contributors. I have been responsible to delivering rushes and data wrangling.
I have previously pitched & led items, worked with high-end talent, worked on live, constant changing broadcasts and been responsible for a multitude of procedures essential for a product to be ready for TX. On top of that, I was trained on the BBC production apprentice scheme which predominantly focused on working in TV, for which I obtained a distinction.
