Jonny Halifax

Editor, Motion Graphic Designer,

Jonny Halifax is a multi disciplinary visual and audio artist. Working across the mediums of film, documentary, animation, graphic art and music. He has been consciously defying professional categorisation for over 30 years now. Since his original training in architecture he has pursued an eclectic cross disciplinary approach to working with the moving image, sound and print. He also often ends up editing music documentaries.

His inventive, sometimes unconventional, and an inherently DIY approach where editing and creating animated graphics are often integrated within the same film. This has led him to first work with Director Julien Temple on The Future Is Unwritten, his film about The Clash frontman Joe Strummer. This creative relationship continues to the present day; most recently working as animation supervisor on Crock Of Gold, A Few Rounds With Shane McGowan.

His work has been realised in many broadcast and feature documentaries, where his guiding interest in music and art have been explored. He has helped realise projects about Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, The Beatles, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Suggs, Wilko Johnson, Creation Records, Ibiza, The Glastonbury Festival and Band Aid to name a few. He has also made documentaries on contemporary modern art, computer gaming, and true crime.

When not in the edit suite Jonny can usually be found in the rehearsal room or recording studio with his band.
