I received an accolade early in my career from the Head of Production for Atlanta Olympic Broadcasting, Terry Ewert. After the successful international broadcast of the FIFA Olympic Football Draw, Terry wrote, “A special tip of the hat goes to Jillian Nodland. She proved again that she can make chicken salad from a side order of lemonade.”
That still makes perfect sense to me. It’s what I love doing. The more complicated the production, the sweeter the lemonade.
When I’m not producing, you’ll find me at the heart of Picture Factory, the company I co-founded with Craig Peterschmidt 25 years ago out of a deep respect and fascination for specialized camera systems. (Think cameras on cranes, jibs, tracks, cables, drones, stabilized gimbals, underwater or wherever.)
I also milk the miracle of flight, and virtual meetings, to work with teams on productions all over the world.
Let’s talk! But you first.
