How I got into professional Film & TV Editing
More info below!
Video is a re upload due to requiring a small but important tweak
So as I had mentioned in the recent community poll I wanted to make a video to respond to comments and questions I'd been getting from people asking for advice and tips on the best way to break into the industry. Unfortunately there is no straight answer to the question that I can give to set you on a guaranteed path HOWEVER I can tell you the path I've taken to get where I am and some things that worked for me along the way.
Laying it all bare here in this one so I really hope this proves useful/mildly interesting to some of you in your editing pursuits!!
Big shout out to my old Uni! @unitecnz PASA Graduating class of 2013!
As well as a special thanks and mention to a few of my mentors over the years. Without whom I really would NOT have gotten very far!
