Dan took a really thoughtful, intelligent approach to our true-crime-style character-led format - offering up visually creative solutions and adding flare and attitude to the rushes he was provided with.
He brought his instinctively filmic sensitivities to bear on some rather complex content - and his film about organised crime was one of the highlights of the series.
Dan has been a real pleasure to work with on several projects. In today's style, his editing was done remotely and I could always rely on him to deliver thoughtful, imaginative and coherent cuts to a deadline. He's an editor who contributes a lot. Our conversations always moved a film on, often in ways I hadn't anticipated. I would highly recommend Dan.
I originally worked with Dan on a primetime C4 observational documentary. The project was challenging as there was a change of commissioner mid edit, but Dan was able to engage and obtain a very good outcome that both production company and channel were pleased with.
I subsequently bought Dan into a high profile BBC1 single doc. He was insightful and diligent, and a pleasure to work with. He gave us a great edit .
I have no hesitation in recommending him and would be delighted to work with him in the future
