CRAIG FORSTER

Editor Showreels

I began my journey in video editing at the age of 14, ingeniously connecting VHS players and utilizing an Amiga 500 to craft graphics for expressive arts projects in secondary school.

After several years at a post-production company, I gained invaluable experience, eventually transitioning to the Camera Department in production. Alongside my production work, I continued editing with a home suite, where I enjoyed bringing my filmed projects to life. This allowed me to sharpen my editing skills and delve into the world of color grading.

Having worked with various editing and colour grading software, I pride myself on my adaptability. To me, the essence of editing is not just in the tools used, but in the ability to tell a compelling story.

This was for an old world cup campaign with a charitable cause, still a memorable and fun project to share.
