George Donovan
Editor
I'm a dedicated editor who has a passion for storytelling, and thrives on variety and the challenges of any and every genre.
I've been offline editing premium factual cable shows for the last 3 years, in Avid Media Composer. Working with hundreds of hours of footage to find and craft multiple interweaving stories for strong format shows and interview/archive episodes too. I especially enjoy cutting scenes with emotional conflict and I love editing with music.
I spent my entire childhood in front of the televison watching anything from The Famous Five to The Sopranos.
After studying Film at Falmouth University, where I really fell in love with the craft, I had a brief stint as a chef, and BBQing for events.
Then I joined a commercials and branded content agency in Soho, and soon began editing content for online and out of home. Using Premier Pro, After Effects and Avid Media Composer to deliver hundreds of high quality assets for many major brands.
Since making a move into television 5 years ago, I have continued to work with major commercial brands between episodes, delivering content for online and socials, as well as editing a short film starring Tom Bennett (Phone Shop/Love and Friendship).
