Creative and versatile Edit Producer.
With over twenty years in wildlife filmmaking; the past six predominantly as an Edit Producer, I bring a proven ability to shape complex, demanding material into compelling, visually driven narratives.
Experience across both pristine and highly challenging footage has sharpened my editorial judgement and deepened my instinct for story, structure, and pace. My credits include films for Disney+, National Geographic, Sky, Netflix, and the BBC series James Cameron's Ocean Explorers - a particularly exacting brief that required the careful interweaving of multiple character arcs across each film. I was subsequently entrusted with taking all six episodes through post-production, delivering consistency of tone, narrative clarity, and creative cohesion under significant pressure.
Alongside this, I series-produced a twenty-part archive-led children's series under an extremely compressed schedule, delivering rough, fine, and final cuts daily, totalling eighty cuts across three months, without compromising editorial quality or missing a single deadline.
Archive storytelling is a particular strength. I regularly craft sequences built entirely from archive, or integrate it seamlessly into broader narratives to enhance, contextualise, or substitute for location material. I write concise, purposeful scripts that guide the audience clearly while keeping the visuals at the heart of the storytelling.
As an Edit Producer, I design efficient workflows from the outset, implementing clear shared documentation, standardised templates for scripts and post-production notes, and detailed Avid logging that allows me to work one or two sequences ahead, freeing editors to focus entirely on the creative process. I have never had an edit overrun due to factors within my control.
My time as a Series Producer has given me a broader editorial perspective. I understand the downstream impact of creative decisions on budget, schedule, and reputation, and I prioritise clear, proactive communication to resolve issues before they escalate. I actively involve researchers and PMAs in the edit, both to strengthen the production pipeline and to support their development.
I also take the pastoral dimension of the role seriously. The edit can be intense, and I am committed to building an environment where editors and team members feel focused, supported, and able to produce their best work.
I am also available for UK-based, non-filming producer roles (setting up shoots, PRAs, etc.) and have extensive knowledge of animal behaviour and filming locations to support development teams.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and approach could contribute to your team.
Thanks for your interest, Nick
