Work: On Set
Problems don't wait for post-production. That's why I don't either.As your on-set editor, I assemble dailies into immediate, actionable insight in real time. First-time director? I'll help you see your vision come together in real-time. Running multiple units? I'll keep everyone visually aligned. Dealing with complex VFX sequences? I'll make sure you have everything you need before the crew breaks down.
My role adapts to your production's needs. Sometimes that means supporting continuity teams with instant visual reference. Other times, I'm the vital link between your stunt unit and main unit, or the bridge between your set in Cape Town and your editing team in LA.What matters is this: I solve problems before they become expensive reshoots. I catch missing coverage while we can still get it. I help directors, DOPs, and VFX supervisors make informed decisions on the spot.I scale my equipment and approach to match your production, whether you're shooting a tentpole feature or an indie film. Bring me in during pre-production to strengthen your shot planning, or call me mid-shoot when you need immediate support. Either way, I'll bring order to chaos.
