George Stovell

I am currently involved in the editing of a wide variety of content, from marketing to informative. I am also occasionally involved in the on-site shooting of footage, as well as acquiring new skills.

I was responsible for creating offline cuts and edits of both web and television advertisements for some of the world's biggest charities and fundraisers, such as UNHCR, Alzheimer's Research UK and Oxfam. The ads utilised a combination of bespoke footage as well as stock. In addition to creating edits from scratch, my role involved meticulously refining the drafts, making sure that they complied with broadcast standards and upload specifications.

My role consisted of creating social media based marketing content for major global clients with large audiences, such as Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Coca Cola, Standard Chartered and the World Economic Forum. These videos were often delivered in a wide variety of formats depending on which platform they were intended for. I had to become very familiar with each client and their specific branding. Motion graphics would routinely be utilised, some of which I would create myself.

I participated in many on-site shoots where I was responsible for both camera operation and vision mixing. They were typically long form discussions, presentations and live events. The feed would either be broadcast live, or recorded for later edits. I was also responsible for setting up the equipment, and managing and delivering rushes.

I was solely tasked with heading up the post production side of a start up production company, providing marketing content to local businesses. I would take the lead creatively on the content of the edits. However, the role also involved much collaboration between myself, the managing director and the videographer in order to create a finished video that would reflect the client's brand.

I oversaw the live broadcast of sporting fixtures to online video streaming platforms. As well as monitoring the feed I had to perform various live edits, such as overlaying graphics, switching to half-time and full-time slates, and capturing highlights.
