I am professional Editor looking for new opportunities. I have been working as an editor for over 10 years and have a wealth of experience in both broadcast and corporate films. I have also directed sections for broadcast television and produced and directed a number of award winning short films. I have extensive experience running training courses on all aspects of documentary and drama film production, from scripting and shooting to editing and delivery.I have also had experience running my own production company for a number of years as well as producing short films to a tight budget and on a deadline. All this experience has given me a wide range of knowledge of the industry and has improved my skills as an editor.Over the last year I have won the following:
2013 New York TV & Film Awards – Gold world medal – Best Editing.
2013 AVA Awards – Platinum – Best Show-Reel
2013 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards – Black Dolphin Award - Best Editing
2012 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards – Black Dolphin Award - Best Editing Editing is a skill not only based on understanding technology but in finding the right visual pace and style for each individual project. I believe that crafting an edit whether it is a documentary, TVC or drama is fun and finding the style that suits the piece is an art form and takes focus, dedication and character. Whatever the film maybe I want to be proud of it and so put all my energies into ensuring that the client walks away with the best possible product that gives every person involved a sense of achievement.Structuring a story and working in a team to get great ideas on screen are both a skill and an ability that I am proud of and something that I enjoy immensely. I consider myself a focused, enthusiastic and creative person who strives to make every project exciting and original.I have been working with Final Cut Pro since its first incarnation and am fully versed in its operations as well as a wealth of other post production software including Davinci Resolve, After Effects and Premiere. I am also confident in my ability to learn new technology fast. I have edited shows to broadcast standards for the BBC, ITV and Animal Planet. As both an Online and Offline editor I work with films right through to delivery. I am a very outgoing person who communicates well and am dedicated to my work. I work well with clients and have been a main point of contact for many and so understand how important building a relationship with both clients and colleagues. I also have the experience necessary to produce results fast, with style and of a high quality.Thank you for your time.With kindest regards
