    AI voice overs and stock edit.

    Sparx is a long format smart technology show that utilised a AI created voice narration. I was the senior editor of the programme, cutting the segments and interviews together, modifying and overlying the motion graphics and grading the footage. This is a 5 minute clip from the full 30 minute show.

    Online event - motion graphic design

    A selection of the video work for the Entrepreneur Awards 2001. I worked on this production for the previous three years.

    During the 2021 pandemic year the ceremony was streamed live & interactive from a studio base. I created the look and feel of all the video assets to brand guidelines, directed all VT video shoots, edited all video inserts and graphic assets, arranged voice over work and selected the headline music track for the overall theme.

    In the video are a selection of the assets created.

    Included:

    *The post ceremony nomination call video. Shown in-branch and across all social channels.

    *A transition sting.

    *Countdown to the launch of the show.

    *Presenter introduction announcement.

    *1 of 12 category list VTs. The filmed video content would be sandwiched between the transition sting and the roll call of nominees.

    *The end credits to close the live feed.
