Description

I started in 1997 giving me 26 years of professional post production experience. I specialise in editing primetime and daytime programmes for all 5 main UK channels.

Off-line Editing :
Trained at the BBC to edit at broadcast quality and technical standards, providing inventive ideas and versatile solutions. I'm fast and precise, able to edit 5 minutes of TV each day using the latest release of AVID Media Composer.

Sound Mixing :
Trained at the BBC to mix sound at broadcast standards, whether it's during a live transmission or an edited film. I use my knowledge and understanding of music to strengthen the desired mood changes through the programme.

Observational Documentaries :
I love ob doc, finding actuality that supports and strengthens the voiceover, making the story as clear as possible and injecting the personality of characters involved.
