Hi, I'm Aya Watanabe, a video editor with nine years of experience. I recently completed my role as Content Creator at the UK Pavilion for Expo 2025 and I'm seeking new opportunities. I have a flexible attitude, can work independently when there are no instructions, and enjoy collaborating with a team—listening to directors and teammates to understand what they're looking for and proposing or experimenting with solutions. I'm detail‑oriented about footage organization and media formats, love reading spreadsheets, and can sync or confirm footage on the same day. I understand shooting with different cameras and lighting. I have remotely supported clients in the UK, Australia, France and Singapore, and I can assemble Windows PCs. I also speak Japanese, English and elementary Chinese.
