Editor / Assistant Editor
Assistant editor @whitehousepost.
I'm an offline video editor with a keen Interest in moving image, whether it's film, content, adverts or music videos.
I feel it's key to keep up to date with changing technologies that effect post production workflows and learnt how different NLE's work within them as each edit job is different. I am then in a position to decide which workflow is most suitable for the coming job and treat it as it should be.
Comfortable with most NLE's, FCP, FCPX, Premiere Pro and Avid.
As I am an assistant still I'm aware I'm still learning the craft but to balance assisting and leading jobs has helped me learn to become faster and more versatile in editing. Assisting on much bigger jobs has given me insight into editing at the top level and I take away a lot of vital information from each job.
An editor at heart, I have had experience in not just offline editing but finishing and grading. I have found that this knowledge about online work though has helped me prep and make my offline edits better for online technicians and for a smoother transitions in a very busy work environment.
Constantly looking for new people and new material to work with.

How to Manipulate the Pace of Your Editing to Infuse Drama & Tension Into Any Scene
3 years ago
Looks like a great way to learn, the breakdown and repeating nature of the tutorial matches the way you would approach editing a scene normally.
I love every teaser Paddy puts out but if it was just even a little less expensive then this would be a no brainer for me, but £30 a month is still steep

Meet HitFilm 4 Pro, a Powerful Editing & VFX Software That's Genuinely Affordable
3 years ago
looks like this is designed 95% for vfx/composit work and as an after thought, they threw a timeline in there.
Changing the source monitor to the trimmer, can you put a sequence with all your media clips in the trimmer window and select from that into a second sequence on your right?
Not trying to make comparisons but the NLE in resolve (which, like this isn't a full on NLE yet) is a lot more powerful with a very good colour grading service, and with fusion free also I'm sure they do the job better.
I'm solely an offline editor though, these one-stop shops sometimes need to notice that not everyone wants every aspect of post in an application.
It's a very reasonable price so it's interesting but in a below post I see it doesnt support certain files, thats a must in this day and age.

Keys to Creating Complex Transitions
3 years ago
Interesting to see the thought and the film is stunning, but I don't see a lot of that as 'transitioning', it's just good editing- following movement, eye line and matching action are all key to keep the flow and pace of your piece tight.
Some of the more flamboyant edits where the camera twists and takes you through to the next shot are clever and look great, and furthers us in the piece but also makes you more aware that your watching something constructed.
sometimes the more subtle you are the better the outcome.
not taking anything away from it thought, he's got a great eye for which shots work together as well as how to compose them in the first place.
messy timeline though ;)

How 'Mission Impossible' Editor Eddie Hamilton Skipped Film School & Worked His Way to Cutting Blockbusters

Great read and very insightful, 2 top editors.
Thanks guys
interesting approach, I agree with the below commenters, subjects like this with new approaches rather than new tech and shortcuts to programs are way more interesting
