For the past couple of years I have been fortunate to work with many talented people. Most projects have been for broadcast on CBC, TVO and just about every Corus Entertainment channel. The prolific amount of work has been quite amazing and I couldn’t have managed without the help of James Yates who has been a rock solid fixture here at Beevision. I met James while speaking at Niagara College and we have become a strong team, usually not only editing the work but also doing the complete finishing with colour correction, motion graphics, titles and final delivery. I could boast about my toolbox and toys but I won’t… except maybe the addition of Davinci Resolve and a very nice FSI color grading monitor.
Here is a sampling of my recent projects:

Big In a Small Town: editor
A cross Canada competition/reality series to find the next big country music star. Directed by Joel Stewart for Corus Entertainment
In between all of these projects I somehow found time to work with Doug Hohener at Creative Works Marketing on corporate and fund raising videos for Scotiabank, Canadian Diabetes Assoc., Toronto General and Western Hospitals, Sick Kids Hospital, Princess Margaret and BC Kids Hospital. To make sure I had no spare time I also cut on-air promos and trailers at Corus for ABC Spark, Movie Central, OWN, CMT, YTV, Treehouse, and the W Network. Somewhere in the mix there were a couple of commercials and a few other corporates plus the half dozen pitch/sizzle reels for new series in development, trailers for many of the above and of course shooting and editing my daughter Jamie’s acting audition videos and my son Liam’s indie band “The Unemployed’s” numerous performances.
