I’m an experienced video editor and motion graphics artist with over 20 years in post-production, working across commercials, branded content, and long-form projects. I’ve built my career in fast-paced agency and production environments, where I’ve developed a strong ability to deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines. I specialise in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with experience in everything from offline edits and multi-cam workflows to VFX cleanup and finishing for grade. I’m comfortable stepping into projects at any stage and pride myself on being adaptable, collaborative, and solutions-focused. Having recently moved into freelance work, I’m keen to bring my experience into new teams and contribute wherever I can add value. I’m particularly drawn to roles where I can combine strong storytelling with technical precision. I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support your team. Best regards, Brian…
