Jacob Bland
Editor, Videographer, VFX Artist & Photographer
ABOUT ME
I am a Sheridan College graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Film & Television, complemented by eight months of intensive Visual Effects training and nine months of social media marketing studies at Humber College. This multidisciplinary education has equipped me to manage the full video production pipeline, from concept development to final post‑production. My core expertise lies in film and video post‑production.
Beyond my skills as a film/video editor and VFX artist, I have contributed to a wide range of roles within the filmmaking process, including videographer, assistant director, casting manager, location scout, producer, and floor director. I am proficient with industry‑standard camera systems as well as professional video and audio editing software.
Storytelling has always been a driving force in my creative journey, and I am committed to building a long‑term career in film and video production. My teammates consistently describe me as a strong team player, a creative problem‑solver, and a fast learner.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring my surroundings with a camera in hand, capturing urban environments, historical architecture, and automotive subjects.
