“Tom, Paul Greengrass here... Class Six is absolutely brilliant... probably the finest film since Citizen Kane... If you don’t get the Academy Award for Best Editing next year then I’m a doughnut.”
(Paul Greengrass, Director ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ & ‘Class 6 Saves the Day’, possible doughnut) I am a London-based television editor with over 120 hours of internationally broadcast shows. I'm strong creatively, narratively, and technically - with experience from being camera operator to online editing - but am foremost an offline editor.
Genres range from US documentaries like
Emmy-winning ‘RX for Survival’ with
Brad Pitt Clip and ‘How the World Will End’ with
Samuel L Jackson to UK Science docs like ‘Stephen Hawking’s Universe’ via primetime UK Fact-Ent such as ‘Masterchef’ and ‘Escape to the Château’.
I started out at Pinewood and Shepperton studios, assisting on feature films and TV dramas for the BBC, ITV, and C4 before switching primarily to unscripted.
I’ve edited adverts, political documentary, drama, drama-docs,
Grierson-shortlisted Natural History, and comedy with
Armando Iannucci. Not forgetting ‘Class Six Saves the Day’ - which possibly didn’t win an Academy Award only because the Academy has no Primary School video category – but I can at least say I’ve worked with a big Hollywood director!
My work has been on BBC1, BBC2, BBC4, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, BBC America, Amazon Prime, Discovery Europe/US/Canada, Discovery/Amazon, HBO Max, Curiosity, National Geographic, Smithsonian, WGBH, Hearst Networks EMEA (A+E), Animal Planet, Blue Ant.
I also have
Camera, Lead Editor, and
Edit Producer credits, an Open Category CAA drone license, and I’ve travelled the world filming for the United Nations and on tour with cellist Yoyo Ma. I have a degree in (now rusty!)
Mandarin Chinese.
I was
Creative Director at Rife Games in 2011-12, producing 3D animation, and am currently producing
AI video commercials. I’ve worked with Avid for twenty-plus years and can supply my own Media Composer system and cutting room. I also work with Adobe Premiere Pro.
