I created this from concept through to the finished video, developing the visual style, choosing the footage and assets, and handling the editing, animation, music and sound.

Video editing · Production · Audio · Post-production
I’ve worked across video production for much of my career, both behind the camera and in post-production. I’ve edited professionally in Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro, worked on shoots as a producer, directed filmed content and worked with actors, voiceover artists and production crews.
My work ranges from professional learning and promotional content to theatre and personal projects. What I enjoy most is bringing everything together in the edit: finding the right shot, shaping the pacing, building the sound and solving the technical problems that appear along the way.
Come From Away
Multicamera theatre production
Capturing a live
performance.
I filmed LAOS’s production of Come From Away using three cameras positioned around the theatre, giving me a mixture of full-stage coverage and closer angles to work with in the edit.
With a live performance there are no second takes, so the challenge was taking footage captured from different positions, with different cameras and different strengths and weaknesses, and turning it into one coherent version of the show.
The edit
Building the edit
I built the show as a multicam edit in Final Cut Pro, synchronising the three camera angles and cutting between them throughout the performance.
Shot selection wasn’t simply about choosing the closest camera. I had to work around camera movement, imperfect coverage and moments where one angle wasn’t usable, while keeping cuts natural and making sure the edit supported what was happening on stage.
Audio
Building the sound
Rather than relying on the camera audio, I built a separate mix in Logic Pro using the sound desk recordings alongside ambience captured in the theatre.
The aim was to retain the clarity of the desk mix without losing the feeling of a live performance. I balanced the vocals and band with subtle room ambience, then brought the finished mix back into Final Cut Pro for the final edit.
Picture
Matching the cameras
Each camera captured the stage slightly differently, so I worked on colour, exposure, saturation and black levels to make cuts between the Panasonic, DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and iPhone footage feel less distracting.
It wasn’t about making every shot technically identical. The aim was to make the cameras feel like they belonged to the same production while retaining the best qualities of each source.
Output
Final delivery
I also tested different export settings to find the right balance between image quality and file size. I compared versions directly on a 65-inch 4K display and chose the smaller export when the larger file wasn’t providing a meaningful visual improvement.

Drama editing
Domestic Abuse and Intersectionality
I was given the raw footage from this drama and was responsible for creating the finished edit. I selected the shots and shaped the pacing, continuity and structure of the scene, interpreting the director’s intended vision from the footage I’d been given.
Event promotion
CIPD Event Promo
I was given footage from a CIPD event and a brief to create a promotional video around the company’s attendance. I had considerable creative freedom over the finished piece, choosing the footage and deciding on the structure, pacing and overall look and feel. I also created the graphics and handled the music, sound design and final edit.
Social video · More than one million views
Manual Handling
I created this short social video using footage and design assets from an existing course. I’d also worked as a production assistant on the original video shoot. I edited and animated the piece and handled the music and sound design. It has since had more than one million views on the VinciWorks YouTube channel.
Theatre promotion
Monty Python’s Spamalot | Social Media Promo
A promotional video I created for LAOS’s production of Monty Python’s Spamalot. I filmed and edited the video, choosing the shots and handling the pacing, music, graphics and final post production. I also created versions for vertical, square and landscape social formats.
Educational video
Top 5 Disability Etiquette Mistakes
I was given the script and structure for this video and produced the finished piece using existing footage, stock footage and voiceover. I handled the edit, graphics, pacing, music and sound.
AI assisted video production
Andi
I rebuilt an existing animated learning video using generative AI tools, creating consistent characters and environments before generating the footage and bringing everything together in Final Cut Pro with voiceover, music and sound.

More than
post-production.
My video experience extends beyond post-production. I’ve worked on professional shoots as a producer, helping plan productions, coordinate locations, actors, production companies and schedules, and manage shoots on the day. I’ve also taken responsibility for leading shoots when required.
Earlier in my career, I directed filmed scenarios for the RFU’s Headcase concussion learning. I wrote the scripts and planned the visual approach, organised the production company, actors and filming at Leicester Tigers Stadium, then directed the content on the day.
I’m also used to the less visible parts of delivering finished content: quality assurance, accessibility, captions, version control, managing feedback and making sure the final output is technically ready for release.

The practical
toolkit.
I currently edit primarily in Final Cut Pro, having previously used Adobe Premiere Pro professionally. I also have familiarity with After Effects, particularly working with existing compositions and basic motion graphics, and it’s an area I’m keen to develop further.
