My experience editing FTV is that this is little to do with budget or training, but a change in taste. Continuity issues are noticed, but if the take works for a different reason, it is a lower priority than it was in the past. The % of viewers who care about this is also very small!

Reu and Harper’s Wonder World, the children’s show I edited last summer, is nominated for a BAFTA this evening 🀞🀞🀞. Best of luck to the brilliant @dochearts team.

Just grateful for a brief respite from the wafts of weed and nail varnish that usually flow up from that alleyway!

Hmm this will make me sound totally nuts, for which I apologise, but I literally watched this photo being taken from my edit suite window earlier and now here it is on my timeline.

Someone just told me they will send over some comments on Monday. Took a minute to realise they meant Monday.com not next week. Worst product name ever?

There is an epidemic of people clapping at the end of films in UK cinemas. I feel I should hate this but actually go off. We deserve that applause much more than those silly pilots. Oh you landed a plane did you? Try creating a chase sequence from 20 seconds of material.

Yes there is a Zuckerberg shaped hole in this otherwise compelling argument.

I know everyone will be saying this soon, but this is quite something.

Christmas tree already up on 23rd November. I’ve let myself down there and apologise.

1. Apple - seems cliche now but their 2000s focus on creativity did open up the industry for a lot of people.

2. YouTube - lots more opportunities to get paid to edit rather than assist at the start of your career.

3. Dropbox - would go nuts bouncing between desktop and laptop without it!

This is going to make me sound like the most pathetic person ever, but Friday night is one of my favourite times of the week to work. My secret shame.

Today's producer is younger than me and I'm just not ready for that yet.

I'm working on a show about people who live on narrow boats and I just want to tell you that these boats are too small.

It would just be so funny if this app actually did take over.
