About me
I have just completed a year's experience at Sky as an edit assistant in the Edit Operations department, having successfully obtained a post production apprenticeship starting in September 2015. I chose an apprenticeship route because I want to learn new skills on the job rather than through academia. However, I didn’t want to do just any apprenticeship. I aimed high, and applied to Sky along with many hundreds of others and was successful in gaining one of only two post production apprenticeships. I believe my success was due to my determination to do well and work hard, as well as my interest and experience in film-making and editing from an early age. I started making animated videos in primary school and have been making short films ever since. I became interested in editing after discovering iMovie on our home computer when I was 11 and teaching myself Premiere Pro and Final Cut. In April 2014 I was one of 66 young people selected from hundreds across the UK for a two-week BFI talent residential run by the National Film and Television School (NFTS). I was chosen for my craft of editing and was mentored by the feature film editor Robin Sales.In my year at Sky, I have gained amazing experience at the cutting edge of broadcasting. I’ve received great training, including the Avid MC101 Media Composer Editing Essentials course, and others such as Video Production Creative Digital Production, Motion Graphics & Video Compositing Creative Digital Production and After Effects. I have also had FTA editing experience while working within the Sky Sports News edit team. While working in this pressured environment on day to day fast turnaround editing, I also created a football highlights package that was later added to Sky’s On Demand service and cut a Golf Promo using my chosen music track. This was done using the software Quantel
