About

Lisa Lubin

Video Consultant

I am a three-time Emmy-award-winning television writer/producer/editor/video consultant with more than fifteen years of experience in television production.   I am now using my expertise to help others improve their video for the web & broadcast as a video consultant.   I produce a variety of broadcast specials, including, most recently, food & restaurant segments for WGN-TV.   For about ten years, I produced a weekly lifestyles, travel, and entertainment magazine show on ABC Chicago.  After 15 years in Television I took a sabbatical of sorts, which turned into 3+ years traveling and working my way around the world.  I also write about travel and the (mis)adventures that ensue as I traipse around the globe on my travel website, LLworldtour.com, which has readers and subscribers from all over the world.  I was recently interviewed live on WGN-TV’s Morning News and ABC’s Good Morning America.

During my ten years at ABC I was a supervising producer overseeing the production of several shows.

I also wrote, field-produced, and edited various television specials including entertainment, travel (including international shoots), sports, news, childrens, health, and public affairs.

In my job as producer I have been responsible for nearly every part of production including:

• researching
• hiring & supervising ENG crews/gear
• travel schedules
• writing
• interviewing
• producing
• editing
• supervising graphics
• voice over sessions

Throughout my TV career I have gained valuable experience in all aspects of production and have been able to meet and work with all walks of life.  I also taught a TV production class for six years at Columbia College Chicago.  Before ABC, I was a promotions producer at a FOX affiliate and a director/technical director at an NBC affiliate.

When not traveling, I split my time between the gorgeous garden state of New Jersey and my adopted beloved city of Chicago.
