Why XpreZed?

With nearly 20 years experience in Post Production my passion is Post Production.

No matter what the requirement whether it is Editing creatively, Post Production Supervising or Online & Grading; each project is approached with passion and given the professionalism it deserves no matter if it is a Feature Film, Television Series, Corporate Video or Documentary.

Being trained in Tape Operating and Assistant Editing in Linear Tape & Film is something I think has given me a grounding that you don't get these days and something I am grateful for.

These days with everything being Non-Linear you have to be skillful and not scared to try something new. Hence my skills with Lightworks, Avid, Avid|DS (as an Editor & Trainer), Final Cut Pro (as an Editor & Trainer) and the ability to swap between systems. As well as learning Colour Grading using Color.

The understanding of work-flows is critical in Post Production, with every production working differently, it is something you really need to understand to deliver the best product.

Everything above are the reasons I continue to work in Post Production and why I continue to have a smile on my face each day.

Australian Pavilion
World Expo Shanghai 2010


(May 2009 - January 2010)

Documentary

Role: Editor / Workflow Consultant


Remember World Expo 1988 in Brisbane...?

Well it was not just a once off, it is a regular occurrence and it is on again in Shanghai next year from May - October.

As part of the Australian Pavilion Exhibition, there is a display called "Sisters", it is a documentary style piece that encompasses 22 women from Australia and China telling their stories on how they and we can make a difference to make a more sustainable, livable city...hence the theme of the expo - 'Better City, Better Life'.

Upon the completion of the story edit, my part, they will then be sent to Broadcast Design, to finalise the appearance of these women and supply the projection.
Which is 4 x projectors rear projecting onto a curved screen that is about 11.5 metres long and 2.5 metres high!

The project is all been shot on the RED camera and the pictures are stunning!

I will give provide more detail on the wok- flow and sourcing information for this in the future.
