    uniE613 Rolls Royce Barcelona Highlights
    https://vimeo.com/157168747?share=copyt=0 Role: Editor & Colourist I was a camera assistant and data wrangler on a week-long B-Roll Shoot for Rolls Royce Motor Cars in December 2014, after which I returned to England and cut the footage down from 6-7 hours to the best 15-20 minutes for each of four cars. Once we'd cut down the best sections of footage and I'd graded the S-Log footage out to be useable, I put together this 3 minute highlights reel for our client to use in presenting the footage to Rolls Royce. The Apprentice-style music definitely wouldn't have been my first choice, but the client loved it and the film ended up being loaded onto the Rolls Royce Press Website as an extra!

    uniE613 Sting performs onboard QM2
    https://vimeo.com/157165895?share=copyt=0 As part of the celebrations for Cunard's 175th anniversary year in 2015, Sting was invited to perform songs from his Broadway musical 'The Last Ship' on board the flagship, Queen Mary 2 in New York City. Two of my colleagues went out to interview him and film the performance, and then I was given 24 hours to turn around the edit once they arrived back in London with the rushes. Overall I think its one of my favourite bits of work so far in my career!
