From his full time job in Soho to his
freelance editing and production he does at home, Steve has worked on
a variety of projects, ranging from simple showreels to complete feature
shorts and promotions. While he is happy editing films or shorts, his
true passion lies with music video and dance and while he admits that
it's a tough market area to get into, this doesn't deter him in any way.
Like everyone in this industry, he knows 'you have to put your work out
there and hope that somewhere along the way you establish some contacts
that can make a difference, at the end of the day it's all about networking.'
Included on his site is work that he is produced not only as a freelancer
but also working at
Stanley
Productions in Soho,
where through the reputation
of the company (which has been established for over thirty years), it
has given him the opportunity to work with well known televison celebrities,
actors and musicians. (Denoted by *)
Below is a selection from Steve's portfolio of work, ranging from basic
editing to directing and production. In most cases, he has worked from
very high level treatments and been left to his own ideas, drawing on
the experience he has gained from the past three years working at Stanleys
to create a reel or promo that he believe reflects the personality of
the artist.
