Hello! I'm Christian, a Project Manager, and Video Editor with 15 years of ad agency experience. Over the past 3 years, I've also specialized in managing remote studio infrastructures, utilizing cloud-native SaaS solutions.
About me
My name is Christian Heilman, and I am a highly organized and dependable professional with 15 years of extensive experience in post-production. With a strong ability to multitask and manage multiple responsibilities, I am equally comfortable in the edit chair or leading project kickoff meetings.
My commitment to excellence has resulted in consistently meeting deadlines and delivering top-quality content for global brands and internal agency needs. In addition to my skills as a Project Manager and Video Editor, I have also played a critical role in developing workflows for in-house agency studios using cloud native SaaS storage solutions, resulting in improved efficiency in a hybrid working environment. This includes setting up cloud-based workspaces, maintaining a project database, and managing digital archives back to a DAM. My ability to wear many hats and adapt to changing needs has been instrumental in achieving project goals and maximizing productivity.

Project Manager Work
As a Project Manager on ESPN+, I took it one step past the edit chair by leveraging my previous edits to design a streamlined workflow for monthly UFC spots that could be easily adopted by other editors. I achieved this by developing a templatized edit that ensured a consistent style and flow across all promos while allowing any assigned editor to focus on the actual content. Through this approach, I was able to not only save time but also deliver high-quality content that met the exacting standards of ESPN+ and its viewers.
I played a key role in various aspects of ESPN+ UFC monthly promos for four years, including editing :30 and :15 spots, managing assets, maintaining a digital library of footage, and overseeing final deliveries to Hulu, ABC, Disney, and social media.

In adapting to a remote environment and migrating work from server to the cloud through LucidLink, I established efficient operations and processes for edits and motion graphics in R/GA's Content Studio. These enhancements facilitated broader cross-collaboration on projects with our global offices in New York, California, Sao Paulo, and Buenos Aires. Through crafting meticulous workflows, onboarding talent to the intricacies of the software, and closely monitoring the effectiveness of the solutions, I ensured timely delivery and met deadlines for some of our most significant global brands, including ESPN, Samsung, Amex, and Nike.
