About me

My name is Christopher Lamontagne, I'm 26 years old and currently residing in West London. Having graduated with a BA in Photography from the Cambridge School of Art I began to find my way in television production landing my first job as a Runner at Hat Trick Productions. During my time there I discovered a real passion within Post production – expanding on the editing elements I previously learnt during my time studying and filming/editing music videos. Pursuing this I then decided to place my next steps in the role of a Technical Assistant. Having now worked my way up to an Edit Assistant position I have a strong desire to continue my growth and experience in the position to further my career and experience in the industry. I am always looking for ways to expand my skill set to further myself.

During my time at Hat Trick I've been able to become self-reliant on setting up and seeing through to completion a successful offline post production project using Avid. I've established efficient processes of completing ingests, transcoding information along with understanding codecs and familiarizing myself with varied camera formats. Working alongside the edit producers has taught me to recognize what makes a good story and to think in an editorial manner in order to turn the rushes into a finished body of work. I feel that this has given me great insight into the editorial process which can only bode well as I continue to learn my trade so I can one day become an editor myself.

I'm fully dedicated to develop my craft in editing and looking to constantly utilize, hone and learn new skills and workflows. I have previously worked as edit assistant on "999 What is your emergency", which was golden experience working along side Dave Harvey who has taught me so much and working with a great overall team.

I am hard working, determined and enthusiastic with a passion for editing. I hope these are all matching traits of someone that you would consider. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear back from you soon.
