This was a fast-turnaround video, edited on the day of the wedding, with material being fed to me by the camera operator in a hotel room where I had set up my edit system. The final shot (first dance) happened around 30 minutes before the edit was shown to the assembled guests. Bride and groom had a copy to watch as they flew off on their honeymoon.
Promo video made for hair brand Sebastian - footage supplied by the client, turned into this!
Obviously there are far more techy ‘bells and whistles’ available now, which can be included to make a current project look more ‘now’, but this showcases my style from some years ago…
Editing remotely, working directly with an Edit Producer, to edit a hard-hitting documentary for BBC about mental health in the construction industry.
Many episodes of the UK’s flagship religious series, cutting magazine articles with music and interviews.
90-minute documentary for Channel 5 (UK) covering the events of 1984 as seen through the BBC’s news and current affairs archive. Intensive liaison with edit producer to successfully construct and polish archive sequences with contributors for major series for primetime slot in late 2023.
And another…
Another sizzler to support the podcast…
Here’s an example of the short sizzlers I’ve made for a podcast based in the UK.
Here’s a quick canter through my projects as of February 2024 - but there have been more since then, obviously…
Hope you enjoy - and that we get to speak soon!
