This work was created for a giant interactive table and LED wall that takes the user on a journey of global trade, telling the personal stories attached to the products being shipped.
Nathalie McGloin
This was a wonderful film to be a part of. It achieved a huge number of interactions on social media, as Nathalie’s inspiring story touched many people similarly affected with a disability. Mark was fortunate to have the rare opportunity to attend the interview, giving him a head start on the edit. Together with the Director he built the story you see in the film. Mark also chose the music and edited it in sympathy with the story.
China Internship
This film was made to promote the internship scheme at Sussex University. Filmed in China and UK and with multiple interviews, Mark worked closely with the client to tell the story of three students who’d had a very positive experience on the internship.
DeWalt – Flexvolt Mitre Saw
The team at Parlourwood went off to the Isle of Skye to shoot this epic tool film. Having worked extensively with this client Mark was able to push this edit quite far. Mixing up C300 shots with the drone shots in an epic location really made for an exciting film. Mark also created the sound-bed using library music that needed to be significantly edited to work how we wanted it to.
Tool Connect
This film was interesting because it had such a strong look. It was filmed using anamorphic lenses to create the lovely lens flares you see throughout. The idea was to cut in and out of the backlight to create an exciting and tense promo for this groundbreaking technology. As well as the edit, Mark created the entire sound-bed from many different elements as we knew library music just would be bespoke enough. Wanting to avoid using the actual tool sounds Mark created bespoke sounds for each tool to maintain the surreal/futuristic feeling of the piece.
Robot Cleaner
Mark really enjoyed working on this project because it was beautifully storyboarded and very nicely shot; it had a really nice colour palette in each scene to work with. Mark enjoys editing commercials as the process of finding a seamless journey through while hitting all the check points of the product that the client demands is very satisfying. Mark’s edited many commercials similar to this one and always enjoys the more subtle, gentler approach required for these projects.
