It was one of those life-changing calls. In fact, I thought it was a prank. But within a few days, my resume was polished and I was sitting in reception of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, interviewing for an unnamed show. On May 25, 2008, I shot Mission Control as JPL’s Phoenix Mars lander descended onto our neighboring planet. It was absolutely surreal and I was convinced I had peaked early in my career. Little did I know, I would continue on a path entrenched in technology change that was always pushing the boundaries of what was to come. I have learned many valuable lessons over the last sixteen years of my partnership with the space agency, but one that sticks out from all the others is the role that fear plays when approaching emerging technology or cultural shifts in the technical space. On the one hand, feelings of fear are very organic. The idea of the unknown is unsettling and anxiety-inducing, but it’s also essential. Fear starts the process of problem solving. It is the catalyst to creativity. The two exist in an inseparable dichotomy with one another. I believe an unspoken requirement of our technical local membership is the understanding that we cannot create when we are overcome with fear, but both are necessary ingredients to a successful project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1713479666960-LFLEAGVXCOOYVSTH5KOY/IMG_0401.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1713479666895-FVK3AFWCIUTZWX0VDD6K/IMG_0402.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1713479668480-3DRAWTIKTJZISTBSCCTS/IMG_0403.jpeg Publications https://www.missioncritical.media/booking daily 0.75 2025-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1503013959036-XX2RX9CC6XINQ6IB7MI9/KIPRO2.jpg Contact https://www.missioncritical.media/speaking daily 0.75 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1504548265375-56M3UW0N8IV1NDHOA52H/CABLES2.jpg Speaking Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/96d649fc-d020-4968-8efc-eab730b515f1/53570666568_45170e0846_c.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/c7c78933-df51-4cbc-9399-eb720ab28962/53570791139_ee1ac2bb9a_c.jpg https://www.missioncritical.media/about-mission-criticalmedia daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1504550938625-SFYANLQ4YYADA5T7SKZ1/CABLES+22.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1504549320615-50YLZBBMUDCCL7YOH3L3/IMG_2378.JPG About - Jillian Arnold, CEO President, Local 695 Chair, IATSE Artificial Intelligence Negotiations Subcommittee MEMBERSHIPS/AFFILIATIONS Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Local 695: Sound, Engineering, Projection Board of Directors Member Local 600: International Cinematographers Guild University of Wisconsin Alumni Chapter - Los Angeles CalTech’s Athenium Society ACCOMPLISHMENTS NAB Technology Specialist of the Year 2017 Emmy for Grease Live, JPL’s Insight Lander and many more Third Place NASA Videographer of the Year 2013 York High School Distinguished Alumni Award 2020 NASA Team Recognition Award - Mars Science Laboratory broadcast NASA Team Recognition Award - Space Flight Hardware training videos Finalist for the University of Wisconsin-Madison “Forward Under Forty” Finalist for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Internship in the Commercial category 2006 CERTIFICATIONS Pronology Operator Certification: 2017 Sony PWS4500 Certification: 2017 Avid ISIS ACSR Certification: May 2015 EVS Engineering Certification: December 2014 EVS LSM Playback Certification: October 2014 Phantom Camera Tech Certification: May 2013 https://www.missioncritical.media/services daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1504554714788-FAVVAK4KE1YMVOZVNA9W/IMG_1641.JPG Services - Artificial Intelligence, Workflow Engineering & Consulting Today's productions need a plan of how to get from Production to Post Production seamlessly, on budget, and within the time frame allotted.

Operators certified under the Mission Critical educational program have a complete understanding of networking, codecs, workflows, computer platforms, editing software, and storage solutions. These technicians today are referred to "The Artists Formally Known as Tape Ops." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1504553573013-YSCWDR5SRSAJIUB4AW3L/part0+4.jpg Services - Education & Training How do we train the next generation of video engineers? A key component to Mission Critical Media's philosophy is the education and training of the next generation of Video Engineers. Without a specific career path, Jillian pieced together an education that she felt would prepare her for the type of media management and digital acquisition work she sought out. She then created a series of instructional classes, and partnered with affiliates like IATSE Local 695's Sound and Engineering to help prepare video engineers for the next generation of TV and Film technology. There are three main components to a Video Engineer's education: 1. A creative & technical knowledge base of TV & Film Industry's history. 2. A mentorship with a well-seasoned professional, currently working in the field. 3. Continuing education beyond current technologies. https://www.missioncritical.media/home daily 1.0 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/f0e38296-1a79-4a16-9410-434c4bf44d9a/IMG_0132.jpg https://www.missioncritical.media/airesources daily 0.75 2025-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg AI Reads&Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg AI Reads&Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg AI Reads&Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg AI Reads&Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847743861-GWVMBPD7Z7WQRQL9IZZ8/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg AI Reads&Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59960b6003596e8681b187b1/1727384607930-01JBOBJJL9RGUFYFFKB1/blueprint+2.png AI Reads&Resources
