I'm Alex Lewington, a BA Hons. Film and Video Editor with 25 years of experience creating high-quality, long- and short-form factual media for a variety of clients. My work has earned major awards, including Best Factual Programme at the 2014 Royal Television Society Awards for Live from Space – Lap of the Planet (C4/National Geographic). For the past 20 years I have worked as a filmmaker and documentary film editor across offline and online workflows for independent production companies spanning diverse broadcast channels, including BBC1, BBC2 & BBC4, ITV, Channel 4 & Channel 5, National Geographic, Discovery Networks, Sky and the Smithsonian Institute. I have worked across genres such as popular science, technology, aviation, engineering, space exploration, archaeology and history, and I regularly serve as Series or Lead Editor and often as a finishing editor across whole series. I am fast, hard-working, affable and reliable with visual flair, complemented by an excellent ear for music and first-rate storytelling skills. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with a range of clients and production companies, delivering high-quality results on tight timelines and managing post-production across multiple episodes. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator), Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve and Microsoft Office, and I’m always happy to provide examples of my work and references on request.
