| Editing Experience: |
I have been a video editor for 21 years, working as both an online and offline editor. For the last seven years I have concentrated more on offlining. I have worked on commercials, pop promos, title sequences, corporate, training, news and broadcast programmes. I have experience of many different programme styles, timescales and budgets. Some of the work has a fast turnaround and a deadline to meet, such as conference inserts and news releases. Other programmes require a high degree of creativity and complex graphics work. I am used to working with experienced directors and producers, and with corporate clients who have little or no experience of making a programme or working alone, sometimes taking over from the director at the post production stage. |
| Editing Equipment: |
Non linear:
I am most familiar with Avid’s products in both offline and online situations (Media Composer, Xpress, Symphony, Adrenaline) but also use Final Cut Pro and Media 100.
Linear: I haven't done any linear editing for a whle so would want to refamiliarise myself with the equipment before jumping straight into a job. The equipment I am most familiar with is the Sony BVE9100 edit controller; BTS, Sony and Dave vision mixers; Sony DME; Thomson Colorado and Digital Vision DVNR colour correctors. I have experience of Paltex and Panasonic edit controllers, Cox and Grass Valley vision mixers, ADO and Charisma. I also have experience with High Definition. |
| Other Skills: |
Many of the programmes I have edited involved aspect ratio conversion, noise reduction and colour correction. A lot of programmes I have worked on consisted entirely of library material so the colour correction was one of the most important parts of the process. I also improved the picture quality of film originated material by removing hairs and other defects. I have also trained people in the basic skills of non linear editing, both individually and as part of a regular communications skills course. |
| Showreel: |
I don't have copies of many of the programmes I worked on but here is a short showreel.
