Riaan van der Merwe

Bio Add to shortlist Print
Job Designation Data Wrangler DIT DIT/VT Video Take Off Home Base Johannesburg
With more than a decade in the Broadcast Industry, I have been fortunate to wear many hats and have had worked with some great Minds! 
I really enjoy the Art of film making and have found my voice in the D.I.T and Post-Production departments.

-If your work is not Play then are you even Happy?-

My skills are varied and I can add to workflows with various departments in mind. 
The World is changing fast and understanding the tools at our disposal is important for a quality finish.

Worked as DIT on some great Reality TV shows over the years, racking up Terabytes worth of Data.
 
I also advise Post workflows and help Editors with basic Assistant Editing/Multi-Cam/Library work.
