In early 2014 I was part of a team at IMG who pitched for the contract to produce all International qualifiers highlights programmes for UEFA, who were launching their Week of Football concept where each of the European teams would play twice over a six night period to fight for places in the 2016 EUROs. This pitch included a one hour highlights programme at the end of each Matchnight, and then an additional programme at the end of each Matchday, which usually featured every European team in a single match. Once IMG were awarded the contract I helped to devise efficient workflows using Avid Media Composer to allow the best quality programme to be delivered in a short time. This usually involved a number of edit suites editing highlights of matches, and then a stitch suite who puts it all together, a role which I continued for nine years.
