    Assistant EditorCartoon Network
     - London, United KingdomFull Time
    The Amazing World of Gumball My strong ability working with scripts and storyboards meant I played a vital role in the scratch and first pass edit builds which helped speed up the final animatic lock edits. I worked very closely with all departments on time management and critical tasks including some more complicated special sequences. A very important part of my role was the delivery of final episodes to broadcasters where it was my responsibility to ensure they were delivered on time and in the correct format and specifications required. I also attended each online session liaising with the online editor to assist with final quality checks and confirm the delivery of completed episodes.

    Assistant EditorWatership Down TV
     - London, United KingdomFull Time
    Watership Down I started work on Watership Down in the very early stages of the production to help set up the naming convention for the meta data and create the production filing system. Working closely with the Editor I was required to lay out voice records into strings on a timeline and rough cut storyboard panels to give the loose timings before they moved on to be fine cut. I also completed prep work ready for the voice records to ensure everything ran to schedule. It was imperative that no time was wasted whilst trying to negotiate very tight deadlines.
