Gingerbread - Editor

Gingerbread Animation is an Irish Animation studio formed by CAKE and Studio Moshi.

Space Chickens in Space

A 50 x 11 minute series co-produced by Disney EMEA and animated in Australia. The workflow involved extensive work in Toon Boom’s Storyboard Pro once the episode animatics were locked, to ensure the correct metadata was being sent to Studio Moshi in Australia.

Cinesite

I worked at Cinesite for over a year doing the initial editing for a feature film (TBA)

Blue-Zoo - Editor (again)

I returned to Blue-Zoo to work on what ended up being two series simultaneously:

Miffy's Adventures Big and Small
A 52 x 7 minute series based on the popular children's character 'Miffy', created by Dick Bruna. This was the first CG series of Miffy, and was commissioned for the 60th anniversary of the first book.
Broadcast on Tiny Pop in the UK, and other channels worldwide including Nick Jr (USA), TVO Kids (Canada), ABC Kids (Australia), KRO (Netherlands).

Digby Dragon
A new 52 x 11 minute series.
Broadcast on Nick Jr in the UK and USA.

During this time I took on an editing trainee on the Skillset Trainee scheme - she had recently graduated university and had an interest in editing, and over a year she went from never having cut animation to cutting an entire web series on her own.

 

Jellyfish Pictures - Editor

I worked at VFX company Jellyfish for several months during development of their first hybrid animation/ live action series, Floogals - in which animated characters interacted with the world around them.

 

Blue Zoo - Editor

I edited a brand new animation series called Q Pootle 5 for Blue Zoo, in association with Snapper Productions. We made 52 x 11min episodes, which were broadcast on CBeebies in the UK, as well as ABC in Australia, KiKA in Germany, VGTRK in Russia, YLE 2 in Finland, TG4 in Ireland, HOP!TV in Israel, and MTVA in Hungary.

The preschool series focussed on the adventures of an alien called Q Pootle 5 and his friends Oopsy, Stella, Eddi, Groobie, Ray, and Bud-D.

National Film and Television School (NFTS)

The National Film and Television School is the UK's national centre of excellence for postgraduate education. Our students are a talented, diverse, creative and enthusiastic bunch, making around a hundred productions a year under the guidance of tutors who are leaders in their own specialist fields.

The emphasis of the Editing curriculum is firmly on storytelling and the relationship between editor and director. Students learn to apply their craft to the demands of fiction, documentary and animation, creating visual narratives while working with sound, music and, where appropriate, special effects. Workshops with other departments develop concepts of visual storytelling, mise-en-scène, storyboarding, sound design, music and scriptwriting.
