Tom recently edited one of our Shark Week shows and what a find! We absolutely loved him. I can only speak from a PM perspective but he was a joy to deal with, met deadlines and editorial seemed to think he was pretty good too (they think he's fantastic). I will definitely keep Kelpie in my 'great editors to book' list.

Anna Rayner

Tom is a very talented editor. Very quick. Great technical knowledge & ancillary skills (e.g. producing graphics). Incredibly hard working and totally reliable. Superb attention to detail. And a very pleasant and collaborative person to boot. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Alexander Marengo, Showrunner

Tom is an amazing editor. One of the best I've ever worked with. And he's a top bloke.

Alastair Cook - co-owner Double Act

I have PM'd many Icon productions that Kelpie has edited and he is always consistently reliable, wonderfully creative and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Anna Gol, Production Manager

I highly recommend Tom Kelpie as an Editor and as a "Preditor." He was my editor on several episodes of "Dr Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet." a hit reality based series for Animal Planet for which i served as Series Edit Producer. He is an excellent visual artist, with a strong command of story crafting and superlative technical skills. I found him to be an imaginative, problem solving and trusted collaborative partner, in tune with character exposition and capable of delivering powerful narrative arcs again and again. I am very proud of the compelling stories we created together, thanks in no small part to his versatile abilities. His hard work and dedication have helped ensure a third series renewal.

Andy Papadopoulos

It's been my pleasure to work with Kelpie on as range of projects over the past seven years. He's got a great eye, a fast hand and a lively mind. He's technically highly proficient and creatively challenging...And a great addition to any team.

Owen Gay, Executive Producer

I was lucky enough to work with Tom on 'Survive the Tribe' where we cracked the pilot episode together that led to the successful commissioning of the series. He is super quick, very creative, completely across complex workflows and all the technical stuff, and is an all round good chap to be stuck in a small room with. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

George Pagliero - Series Director, "Survive The Tribe" National Geographic

Tom worked with Phoenix to reversion a UK series for a US Network - upping the pace, entirely reworking the visuals and music to take it up many gears - and in line with very specific channel requirements.

In short, he was brilliant. He worked quickly with great attention to detail and even during our last week of edit, alone. What's more, he's a really nice guy! We'd have him back any time.

Miles Jarvis

Tom's been a very reliable and talented member of our team. He's able to work quickly and across a variety of genres. I'm only slightly reluctant to write this testimonial because it means others might snap him up! But please do. he's a pleasure to work with.

Bec Cubitt, Producer.

I have worked with Tom for many years and his intelligence and insight in the editing process always raise the bar.

Dominic Weston - Writer, Producer & Director

Tom has worked with Shunk Films as edit producer on two short comedy films/sketches this year, namely 'Allen vs Predator' & 'Riddles in the Park'.

Tom doesn't edit 'by the numbers' and instead injects his own fast-paced comedy values into the mix, delivering cuts that are loyal to the source material whilst somehow finding new angles to the comedy on show.

Tom is professional, attentive and open-minded to collaboration which makes for a smooth, satisfying, team-based process. Delivery times are commendable and communication throughout is faultless.

Tom's input to our films has gone far and beyond his credit and we cannot recommend him highly enough to anybody looking for an editor that truly ‘gets it’.

We would love to work with him again.

Paul Holbrook - Producer - Shunk Films

Kelpie brought a refreshing energy to the edit, was fast, editorially strong and focused on delivery. I would have him again.

Tom Jarvis: Producer

Kelpie is editorially strong, generous and confident

Andie Clare SERIES PRODUCER (River Monsters)

Tom is creative, collaborative and well-organised. He's also technically-minded and has a great ear for music. He has patience for the long-haul and energy for quick-turnaround projects. I'd highly recommend.

Janet Smyth

I’m loathe to recommend Tom because he’s so fantastic at everything - and totally charming with it. I’ve worked in tv for more than 30 years and he’s one of the best. Great meta skills, gets the story, knows the kit. Our film sailed through and not a single edit was unpicked
