I have a strong, creative sense of narrative, character development, pace and dialogue, coupled with an intuitive knowledge of what looks good on both the big and the small screen. I am as happy judging the delicate pace of a period drama as I am the tension of a thriller, or the careful piecing together in the edit suite of the story for a documentary.
I have developed workflows for feature films photographed both on film or digitally, and I am familiar with broadcast standards for SD and HD programming, online compression standards and with the working environment for both TV and film. My career has spanned editing picture, sound (both mixing/editing and location recording) and computer graphics/post effects, so I can produce work from tape or data ingest to final deliverable.
I edit using both Avid and Final Cut Pro. I have a deep understanding of VFX and CGI, and knowledge of the requirements of those departments as they interface to the edit. I also write for a number of film making and post-production magazines. Some of my magazine articles are available through this site, as well as some other, editing-related topics on the blog page.
