Street Sense Miles Maker entered the 2005 Nokia Shorts competition with his 15 second long short 'Street Sense'. He shot 19 minutes of rushes in three hours one morning in August 2005. We edited two versions: one for the competition and a longer version for other shorts competitions and film programmes. We also added some simple visual effects and a few seconds of titles before and after each version. Cope-Rope play reading As part of the International Writers Play Readings at the Hampstead Theatre in London, Anna Haraszti had a play featured. As she could not attend, I shot and edited a video for her. I had three cameras, two were locked off for long shots (from audience left and audience centre) and one for close-ups. The reading lasted 55 minutes. I encoded the video for DVD and burnt copies for the actors and director as well as the writer.
Oliver - Kolkata (Calcutta) school play As part of filming for a documentary about how the railway system of India copes with the monsoon season, Gerry Troyna and Andy Marino followed one of the street children who lived at Kolkata station as he was taken into an home for children with no parents operated by Future Hope. A few weeks later they took three cameras to record a performance of Lionel Bart's musical version of Oliver. I edited and colour corrected the video and created a DVD for the children and for Future Hope to aid in fundraising.

Too Much Too Young - feature I was the assistant editor, assisting Barrett Heathcote on a British feature shot on HD in Summer 2004. He logged and captured over 40 hours of video and 40 hours of audio into an Avid Film Composer (v. 7.X). Alex then synced over 45 hours of footage. "Alex was a pleasure to have around the editing rooms. I only ever needed to tell him how to do things once, and he got on with the work. He stuck to my methods consistently. The thing about logging, capturing and syncing is that the job is simple 97% of the time. It's the other 3% of the time when you need a smart person making a call about doing the right thing. When I came in to start editing each morning, I found that all the takes were synced exactly as I wanted them. He dealt well with typical production problems such as boards that move off-screen at the moment of the clap and incorrectly announced takes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex as a valuable member of any post-production team." - Barrett Heathcote, Editor "Barrett and I were pleasantly suprised that Alex would carry out the tasks he was assigned with a positive attitude, however 'lowly' they might seem to other people. He was good at contributing opinions when asked, and great at being quiet when not asked. When Barrett had to take a break in editing, we were very comfortable with Alex continuing to prepare footage for the film unsupervised. Alex is a man I'll be happy to trust to work on my next feature." - Stuart D. Fenegan, Producer |
