Broadcast Offline Editing
I’m a fast, experienced and friendly Avid editor with over 15 years of broadcast credits and I have cut for all the major broadcasters. With a passion to pull out the story and the ability to get the best out of contributors and making sense of UGC. All of this backed by a strong technical base.
I can work with a wide range of subjects and genres, from factual entertainment, to getting to know people in obs doc and Ican also work on single subject documentaries.
People are always the heart of the story, but I know how to cut for crime, food, property, technology, history and politics. I have dealt with sensitive stories and walked the compliance tightrope for both blue light and crime shows as well as other more personal and sensitive subjects.
I’ve worked on rig shoots and archive heavy shows, managing large amounts of footage. I can work as a single editor but I’m also used to collaborating as part of a post-production team
