Nigel W. Editor (Offline / Online).

Nigel throws himself whole heartedly into whatever project he is working on; though he has fifteen years of experience and is an award winning editor, he never gets complacent and is always pushing himself to make each job better than the last. Over the years he has amassed television credits for all major broadcasters, and knows how to target a film for a particular time slot or audience. He has also developed strong storytelling skills and has a good grasp of narratives.

During his career he has cut some of the toughest subject matters, and through the nature of this work is also very aware of editorial policy and broadcast compliance issues. But its not all dark and heavy, he has also worked on a wealth of entertainment and current affairs programmes that present their own different challenges. Nigel originally trained as a photographer so he retains that precision and attention to detail into the way he presents his editing work. Visually he wants everything he works on to look extraordinarily good.
