Featured Work
Vidal Sassoon: Fashion Show
Creative hairstyles showcased on the catwalk in this equally stylish & funky video
Just edit the catwalk show as it was? No, that'd be far too easy! A bit of creative
editing makes a world of difference if you want to stand out from the crowd.
Careless
Short film; BBC Talent Award Winner
Originally a 20min film, I sliced, diced & distilled it down to a few mere
minutes for the director's showreel; an exercise in efficient storytelling.
Chinawhite: Rock the Polo
Promo for one of the most glamorous and decadent events on the social calendar
Originally edited in-house, I stepped in & ended up completely revamping it,
stripping out dialogue and giving it a more graceful, sun-drenched touch.
Fashion Rocks 2007
The glitz & glamour of the red carpet arrivals at Fashion Rocks
Another fun edit, I also animated the name tags to move with
the footage; little tricks like that help spice up an edit.
FlyOnTheWall showreel
Most company showreels are montages set to music & usually fail in telling you
anything about them. I worked with the client to create something more dynamic.
Hairaisers
Fashion shoot-turned fashion video for a hair extensions company
I'm very meticulous about picking just the right shots from the hours
of footage; sometimes it's best just to keep it simple but effective.
T5M: World AIDS Day
Penélope Cruz, Ricky Gervais, Salma Hayek & friends
help raise awareness for Nelson Mandela's 46664 Charity
The floor was littered with chewed-up fingernails thanks to an anxious client, but
big smiles all around when I completed this sobering promo in tight turnaround.
Lexmark: Fusion
Product launch animation
Client gave me the end logo and I was asked to bring it to life. A challenge
I was keen to take on, the furthest I've pushed my motion graphics skills yet.
About
Freelance Final Cut Pro editor for the past six years, I love to craft compelling & elegant work. I also dabble in After Effects for enhancing my edits with motion graphics.
I've got a trail of very happy clients, some I work closely with, some who trust me enough to leave me to it, and always look forward to the next challenge and to collaborate with some more talented people!
And yes, that really is my name.
