"Editing is where you first see the film come together. It is an intensely creative experience that is always exciting, and often painstaking, but always rewarding in the end. It's in the edit that you shape the story and finally see the culmination of all of the hard work that has gone into making the film." Anton Califano
I am an experienced film editor, taking projects through from first assembly edit to final online grade for broadcast, having originally learnt my cutting skills in 35mm film cutting rooms. Now working in non-linear editing software, I am an Apple Certified Pro editor but I also use AVID Media Composer and Adobe Premiere. I was also an early adopter of FCPX, and have edited extensively in FCPX since it's initial launch.
