Before moving to Johannesburg, Pantazopoulos consulted and set up with Aaton, Paris and da Vinci (telecine/audio digital link up and new suite). Every year she demos at international broadcast shows and has also been involved in training, R&D and product development between 2001 and 2003.

“I have had the unique opportunity of working on both sides of this business (i.e. production / organizational aspects and post-production), Pantazopoulos said. “This means that I have a comprehensive knowledge of the total processes from data, film to video, to delivery of a quality final product. Understanding and having experienced budget, crew, production and post requirements gives me a considerable advantage when dealing with clients, whether they be local or international… To be educated and cultured in the subtleties of communication and the art of pictures, seeing and interpreting from as many strategic geographical locations around the globe, has been a focus of mine.”
