About Paul

  • Share profile:
I am a very creative and experienced factual/documentary Avid and FCP editor with 10 years experience. Credits include all the major terrestrial broadcasters and many satellite broadcasters too. I have worked on a very diverse range of genres, from multi-episode historical series to cookery programmes.

I have a thorough knowledge of the entire production process having previously worked as a self-shooting AP. Therefore, I am able to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the edit suite. I am definitely not just a button pusher!

I have an excellent sense of narrative and story-telling and am regularly trusted to edit produce my own work. I am also a very fast and accurate editor and work well as part of a team, keeping cool under pressure.
