Some recent edit work for @hahn_au featuring @harry_garside

A day in the life of an Olympic boxer. This one was a great opportunity to match up rhythmic editing with sound design to weave in both fast and slower paced moments.

🧨New Project🧨

Presenting ‘The Path’ (Part 2 of 2), @thefrankcarroll ‘s 1-minute epic about the journey of Olympic pole vaulter @lizparnov, who despite critically injuring herself prior to the 2016 Rio Olympics, bounced back and qualified for Tokyo 2021.

Frank and Justin @justingriffiths were running around Perth with Liz at all hours, capturing a wide range of footage that unfortunately didn’t make the cut. Frank wrote some great copy and after many moons of searching, picked out the perfect track which made me feel like I was editing in heaven.

Thanks for watching!

🔮Proud to share my latest editing work on the music video for the single 'Ultraviolet' by @voyagerau on their new album 'Fearless in Love' which came out yesterday via @seasonofmistofficial

Performing since 1999 in Perth and representing Australia at @eurovision in 2023. I also love that their #1 Spotify listener base is Finland🇫🇮.

Thanks to Director @_mattpitcher_ at @inhalecontent for having me on to work with such a creative concept for a very intricate track and all the while working remotely and under a bit of an international press release deadline.

@elliottnieves.dp, and the crew, captured the band and cast beautifully and everyone really brought the narrative to life.

Link to the official video in bio. Thanks for watching! 🔮
