Ascent 142 Land Jet Omoshebi

Ascent 142 has announced that Jet Omoshebi will be joining its expanding creative team to work on drama and feature output.
Omoshebi leaves Pepper Post 2008 where she has been Senior Colourist since joining in 2004. Her recent credits include work on the BBC drama 'Cranford' and 'Life on Mars'. Amongst the many awards for her work, a notable highlight was winning the Women in Film and Television craft award in 2007.
A delighted Dave Barret, VP Sales and Business Development, Ascent 142 commented: "We feel this is a real coup for Ascent 142. Adding an outstanding award winning creative talent like Jet to an already strong team is an endorsement to the investment in people, technology and infrastructure that we have made over the past twelve months. We are dedicated to becoming the number one in our sector and we will continue to invest in industry talent."
Commenting on her appointment, Omosherbi said: "Ascent 142 has a wonderful reputation and impressive creative talent. I'm looking forward to working with them and hopefully adding a different dimension to the grading facility."
Jet began her career in post-production as a sound assistant before moving to Rushes (part of Ascent) as a telecine assistant in 1990, progressing to colourist after three years. For the next ten years, Jet worked as a senior colourist at the Moving Picture Company, Complete Video, SVC Television and later Digital Film Lab. During this time Jet worked with the majority of advertising agencies in London, building an excellent reputation and client following.
Omoshebi is acclaimed for her versatility and has extensive knowledge of telecine machines and grading systems, working on Ursa, C-Reality, Spirit and Millennium scanners with both Pogle and da Vinci 2K and was instrumental in the design and build of Pepper's Spirit Datacine and da Vinci 2K+ suite.
In addition to Omoshebi's move, Dan Chuter after five years as Pepper's facilities & marketing manager is also moving to the Ascent Group as marketing manager answering to Sally Reid, VP Marketing & PR.
