Simon R.

Video Editor | Documentary, Advertising, Social Content

I'm a Senior Video Editor with over 16 years of experience creating documentaries, branded films, podcasts, social content and digital campaigns for agencies, production companies and global brands including Nike, Amazon, HSBC, Monzo and Tommy Hilfiger. My speciality is storytelling. I enjoy taking hours of footage and shaping it into clear, engaging films with strong pacing, emotion and visual impact. Whether I'm editing interviews, documentaries, branded content or social campaigns, my focus is always on finding the story and delivering work that connects with its audience. I'm experienced across the entire post-production process, from media organisation and editing through to colour correction, sound design, motion graphics, versioning and final delivery. I work primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, and regularly use AI tools where they genuinely improve workflows or solve creative challenges. Clients value me for being calm, collaborative and dependable. I'm comfortable working directly with directors, producers and stakeholders, taking projects from the first assembly through to final approval while keeping communication clear and the process running smoothly. Whether you need a polished commercial, a compelling documentary, a podcast edit, social-first content or simply an experienced editor who can hit the ground running, I'd love to help bring your project to life.
