I am a freelance Broadcast Video Editor for all the leading broadcasters.Credits range from: Gordon, Gino & Fred's Road Trip (Italy), Made In Chelsea, Inside The World's Toughest Prisons, Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, Snow, Sex and Suspicious Parents and Come Dine With Me.I use Avid Media Composer, Apple FCP7/X & Adobe Premier Pro, where I edit Off-line & On-line.For my full Credit List head to cuttingmustard.comI studied at Ravensbourne College and joined London Weekend Television for the Factual Department. After two years at TSI Video Limited I went Freelance where I continue in Factual & Entertainment, Documentary, Format, Comedy, Reality and Light Entertainment shows.Outside of my love of story telling, the soundscape is key and its my absolute passion. I work hard at utilising all my contacts from the various labels and libraries and then catalogue them in my own bizarre way before a project begins so I am armed with an arsenal of sound effects and tracks that I can quickly chop in to get a sense of the feeling and emotion of the cut. I’m instinctive and fast at chopping music seamlessly and adding SFX to punctuate mood. I find it quite amusing and satisfying too.My best sound design was on a Netflix episode of Inside The Worlds Toughest Prisons. I inherited the show following an over-run and whilst the story was gripping, it was devoid of emotion. A quick trawl on the net for top ten Honduran native bird sounds from the season it was filmed in, threw up a screaming macaw, coupled with the obligatory sounds of a prison, chains, plates banging, doors slamming and keys in locks - it exploded into life. Typically, I went too far and the dubber reigned it in. I got quite a rush out of seeing it on air.Another, Snow, Sex & Suspicious parents (BBC3) was another belter. I’m into banging house and trance music so I went nuts with the latest bangers at the time. The twitter feed was awash with the kids raving about the tunes I'd used.Lastly, Gordon Gino & Fred - Road Trip: Italy. I went all over the shop with classical - quirky and sometimes ridiculous tunes to match the stupidity of the trio and went to work with the sat nav voice of Mr. Ramsay for comedic effect. They crashed the camper van and the order came, “You’re going the wrong way!’ Was the funniest show to date. Naturally I yelled, “Get me the BAFTA!’ The show received a TV choice award. guess that counts more by the viewers.One thing my clients certainly wouldn't label me is dull. When it goes tits up - often does, I like to think I’m fun to be in the funk with. I always ‘Cut the mustard’.I love what I do. Read Less
