Edit Essentials

Edit Essentials is a self initiated video training series for Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X on Vimeo.
Over the years, I’ve sat though numerous video tutorials for all parts of the production process. As informative as these videos were, it was often information overload and I wouldn’t have time to sit though an entire video as work would get in the way.
I decided to create Edit Essentials as a way to counter that problem. 1-2 minute videos that focus on keyboard shortcuts, with the aim of making the viewer a more efficient editor. Bitesized videos, easy to watch, easy to digest and easy to fit in to a busy schedule.

Ethical Journalism Network

I was commissioned to create a series of videos by the Ethical Journalism Network. This series included a number of roundtable discussions shot at the Frontline Club in London where journalists from Channel 4 News, The Guardian, City University and EJN were discussing key issues facing journalists in the 21st Century.. Hate speech, freedom of expression, ethics and paid for journalism.

The series also included a collection of tutorial videos for journalists. The video below, features director of the EJN, Aidan White discussing EJN’s 5 Point Test for Hate Speech. I directed and edited this and all the videos in the series.

VFM Showreel

I am the owner of Vivid Fox Media based in Coventry. When I’m not involved in media development or training projects, I work with clients in the corporate and documentary sectors. This showreel gives a flavour of the type of work I’ve done for clients from a range of industries from across the UK, Europe and the USA.
