Dan Brown – Video Editing and Post-Production
I am an enthusiastic and young creative, with a Degree in Editing and Post-Production from Ravensbourne University and over a year’s experience at a multi-award winning post-production agency.
At ENVY, I have gained extensive practical knowledge of post-production organisation and processes. I have also gained practical experience of using all aspects of the CETA scheduling programme. As part of Envy’s development programme, I have also completed in-house, hands-on training in post-production coordinating and in producing.
The unique Editing and Post-Production degree course at Ravensbourne had editing at its heart but also covered a broad spectrum of post-production skills – including the use of Premier Pro, After Effects, Avid and DaVinci Resolve. The course, at London’s specialist creative industries university, also enabled me to explore a wide range of creative approaches.

Carfest
Carfest is an annual blend of classic cars, live music, celebrity appearances, food and family-friendly activities attended by 75,000 people each August. I worked as an on-site editor, using content gathered from across the festival each day to create a range of social media posts and other video material for the festival’s official channels.

Drunk Like You
This music video – which I created all aspects of, including the grade to determine the era – illustrates how storytelling has developed in music videos through the decades. The initial basic shots reflect the limited options available to start with. As we progress, greater use is made of motion shots and of lighting, and then tracking shots and a drone.

Art for All
Tasked by the owner of this wonderful small art company to bring the experience to life for potential clients, I planned, filmed and edited all aspects (apart from the colour grade) of this video, liaising closely with the client and supervising other editing staff.

Royal Automobile Club
With nearly 600 staff across its wide range of facilities, the Club asked me to create a series of videos to help them quickly and clearly explain four things to new staff: the Club’s history, organisation, values and approach to sustainability. I used motion graphics to create informative yet captivating training videos.

Come and Get It
This is a short film featuring a fight scene with a twist after a tense build-up. For this video I undertook all aspects of the cut, VFX, colour grading, the craft cut and sound design.

Bad Memories
In this self-produced, directed, filmed and edited music video I set out to create an atmospheric yet dark partner to the music.

Last Night in Soho
This is a new trailer for the psychological thriller ‘Last Night in Soho’. I drew upon a variety of sources for the sound and visuals to bring together the 1960s setting and the tension of the film’s storyline.

About
I graduated with a degree in Editing and Post-Production from Ravensbourne University, London’s specialist creative industries university, before joining ENVY, the market leading post-production agency..
Working as a runner across the agency, I have gained extensive practical knowledge of post-production organisation and processes. I have also gained practical experience of using all aspects of the CETA scheduling programme. As part of Envy’s development programme, I have also completed in-house, hands-on training in post-production coordinating and in producing.
Freelance projects have included social media videos for Carfest, training videos for the Royal Automobile Club and advertising for a school.
The unique Editing and Post-Production degree course at Ravensbourne had editing at its heart – but it also developed my experience and skills by covering a broad range of topics across the spectrum of post-production. These included VFX, colour grading, audio post, screen graphics, shoot and edit and broadcast technology.
As well as providing an extensive understanding of the post workflow, the course also enabled me to explore a range of creative approaches through numerous practical projects, including music videos, advertising and motion graphic information videos.
Alongside my degree, I worked in hospitality for three years. This proved invaluable in developing my skills related to working in a team, taking on responsibility and delivering high quality service under pressure and to deadlines.
At school, I gained A Levels / BTECs in Creative Digital Media Production (Distinction Star), English Language (B) and Business Studies (Merit).
