About Giorgio

  • Share profile:
    I am a creative, though very technically minded editor with strong language skills and a keen passion for visual arts, culture and travelling.
    I have worked for documentaries, entertainment, feature films, short films, adverts  for both major and independent productions.
    I am fast and relible with both Avid and FCP and I have good working knowledge of several programs for graphics, compositing and encoding.

    Employment History

    My first editing job was back in 2004 helping cutting the feature film Flip-A-Coin on FCP.
    in 2005 started working in advertising for Ogilvy & Mather cutting commercials, corporate and mood films on Avid. After that I started moving towards the broadcast environment freelancing in different postproduction houses.
    In 2007 I started working full time for Objective Productions as Senior Edit Assistant. My duties where to look after the facility (8 Media Composers, 2 Symphony and 1 ProTools HD) coordinate incoming jobs and assigning them to other assistants, and cutting pitches, promos and sync pulling.
    In November of 2008 I started freelancing again represented by Independent Post Company and DEBroadcast Recruitment, taking up a mixture of editing and assisting jobs on both Avid and FCP.
    Since then I have edited 2 full length documentaries doing both offline and online.
