I'm a film editor with over 15 years' experience.
I believe editing is about establishing an emotional connection with the audience and taking them on a journey.
Filmmaking is a collaborative process. I think listening, asking the right questions, responding creatively and offering opinions and guidance are critical.
I enjoy working collaboratively and also being given creative autonomy.
I work well under pressure and I enjoy the challenges of high-level work.
I also write, direct and produce films and animation. Please check out my work at: www.brookhousefilms.co.uk

FAQs:
What software do you use?
I use Avid and Premiere. I'm pretty adaptable and I don't like to get tied down to any one system.
Can you do titles and motion graphics?
Yes. I am an animator as well as an editor. I use After Effects.
Can you do VFX?
Yes, I do some compositing, etc.
Can you online and deliver?
For smaller projects, such as those made for the web, I often help to oversee the process, sending to grade and mix, then collecting everything together afterwards. If necessary I can sound mix and colour grade, and I'm pretty good at it, but generally I would hand this work over to the specialists.
Do you work on site or remotely?
Both. I'm happy to do either. I have a good setup at home.
