Hi! My name is Jakob Western

and for as long as I can remember, I've been filming and editing my way through all things media and creating content as an all-time passion of mine.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Mass Communications - Majoring in Digital Media (2017), I travelled for three years, until coming home and creating an Instagram account to post videos for fun as content...

Content Creation.

Since the accounts creation I've found unintentional commercial success with videos shared and posted by popular Instagram pages such as @pedestrianTV, @browncardigan and @VFX_guru, Facebook pages such as 7AFL, and even TV such as the Channel 7 News. Talk about an Idiot Savant.

7 News - Sport

Played on the channel 7 news during an AFL upcoming draft picks compilation.

I've found I get the most out of working on projects accompanying music, adding a blend of VFX and videography to scenes, being most suitable to social media advertisements, content creation and music videos.

LOGOS & PHOTOGRAPHY

Jak(ob) all trades

I'm proficient in all Adobe products, specifically Premiere Pro, Photoshop and After Effects to other media software such as Ableton Live, DiVinci and Maya. I enjoy and am always available to be the sub-in actor, and I have so far produced all content by myself from filming, editing, animation, VFX, logo design, graphic design, music design and production. I also have the ability to run social media websites and campaigns, using my unique, engangement proven content and background in social media management, if it can be whipped up on a computer, there's only a 100% chance I'll be able to do it.
