Director Producer Graphics

“You know what I love? Writing a testimonial for someone who combines personality and ability with a unique skill set. That’s Susan Young. Whether working as an Assistant Director on “The Bachelorette Canada” live shows, in graphics for news, election and sporting events, or directing live multi-camera news or talk shows - Susan is someone you always want on your team. There’s a reason she gets hired over and over again on the same projects. I always count myself lucky when her schedule briefly opens up and I can work with her again!

“It has always been an absolute pleasure to work with Susan. A consummate professional, no matter where we’ve been working together in the world, she can always be relied upon to do a really great job. Her thorough preparation, attention to detail and unflappable calm are key assets in the field of live sports production. Susan has many strings to her bow and her multi-talented skills have proved to be invaluable on the road. She’s a real asset to a production team and I wouldn’t hesitate to recruit her again.

“Susan is one of the most versatile people I know in television. I’ve worked with her over the years at two TV stations (City TV and CTV Vancouver) where she was a font operator, assistant director, and eventually a director, writer and news producer. I would be happy to have Susan on my team in any of those capacities. She’s capable, calm and kind and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!

“A calm demeanour, mixed with a professional approach, and attention to detail thanks to full preparation, describes Susan Young’s work in the control room .. Whether she is handling the pressure as a graphics operator on Live Sports events, or the detailed aspects of the Associate Director function on Olympics Host Feeds, to directing fast-paced newscasts, Susan’s work ethic is admired in our industry .. I have had the pleasure of working with Susan on various telecasts and projects, notably the NHL and the Olympic Games, and the comfort level for me as a producer with her on our team is strong .. Her skills at not being satisfied with just the same job function from telecast to telecast also makes her unique in the TV world ..

“I met, and worked with Susan the first time at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Where she not only immediately impressed me with her graphic skills and knowledge, but her focus to detail, good nature, and excellent attitude made a mark. Since that time I’ve worked with Susan on dozens of other Sport and entertainment projects, both in the graphics and production departments.

I would not hesitate hiring, or working with Susan on any of my productions, I enjoy working with her, she does a fantastic job, is well respected by her peers, and is always a welcome member to any team.”
