She’s a seasoned camera crew member – has good contacts with Finnish crew working on similar positions, has a relationship with all local rental houses and feels comfortable with professional filming gear. Reetta has mostly worked on digital productions – nevertheless she’s also had a chance to try out shooting on film in few shorter projects.
When not on set Reetta occasionally still works as a Camera Technician for camera rental house she was working in full time from 2017 to 2018. Besides knowing her way around the equipment Reetta is a calm, focused worker who gets along with almost anyone, has talent for teaching newcomers and fantastic sense of humour. She’s got some international production experience as well, having worked previously eg. in Norway. Lately she’s also been educating herself on storyboarding which has interested her for years.
