About me
I am an experienced editor and technical operator in both broadcast and corporate production environments. I am proficient in the use of Premiere Pro/After Effects and Avid systems and with an extensive knowledge of broadcast specifications for picture, audio and subtitles.I was jointly responsible for setting up the Creative Content and Original Programming department at IBF, offering end-to-end production of Corporate videos, BLU-Ray VAM and film trailers for film distribution clients, for which I was mainly editing, but I could also produce, camera operate and record sound if required. Clients included Trip Advisor, for whom we made internal training and entertaining 'news' videos, Studio Canal and Arrow films, for whom we produced interviews and mini documentaries for BLU-Ray VAMs, and trailers for film releases.
I have also worked as a re-versioning editor on acquired programming for many broadcasters, including BBC Worldwide, ITV, and Channel 5, performing edits for compliance, duration and specification, also performing picture and audio repairs where required. I have performed a similar role for distributors and production companies preparing their material for submission to both domestic and international broadcasters.
I have, both at IBF and previous employers, worked closely with the subtitling department in a technical capacity for broadcast, corporate and film distribution clients, and have been heavily involved in the development of subtitling workflows to increase turnaround speed and maximise compatibility with client workflows, specifications and systems.
A large part of my previous role has involved localising graphic elements of both film trailers, for example the Watchmen trailer for Warner Brothers, and corporate productions for major clients.
I have enjoyed working in a technical role, be it Editing, re-versioning, Subtitling, QC or other materials preparation for Feature Film distribution clients including Pathe, Fortissimo, and Studio Canal, including edits for submission to the BBFC, and recording and mixing of audio description tracks using either Pro-Tools or Adobe Audition.
