My Video Portfolio: Introduction, How I Roll and Videos

Introduction

I love editing and have fun with footage and audio.

 My name is Paul Readman, I am a freelance audio / video editor 

This began when I was broadcasting live on net radio.

 I edited various interviews for my Bandcamp and I was told I have good ear audio editing.

I began by uploading gig footage, interviews, news Vlogs and other videos on Youtube. 

I saw this as a progression for my skills to grow and 

 experiments

I like the idea of using footage for effects, overlayering as well as adding effects to footage.

 I also try to recycle footage where I can and shot fresh / on location

How I Roll

I get a project I listen to what is required.  If needed I source footage. I take footage and match the quality to every other I have or near it

If required I upscale to near as 4k as possible

Sometimes you come across footage that can add a visual curve to the story.

I then edit a draft.  Feedback is roughly around 90% on first draft.

I am only satisfied when the client is.

Up to 2022, my work in this field has music promos, I have edited drone footage, sourced, shot on location, create trailers, repair, upscale work ( Depending on source limitations), 

 and idea for a project? 

I’m always open to fresh approaches and this makes me learn on the job. 

You learn everyday

For a video that's around 5 Minutes?  £50

This will take aproximatly three days or less 

Trailers

This is part of my own series.

 The History of Record Shops (HORSH)

I shot this on location at Strummer Room Records, Banbury with my s20 Samsung phone

 Client Music Promos

Summer 2022

The Factory Lights - Distant Childhood Memories

I was asked to create a “Dreamy”like imagery for this song around some colour footage the family.

I did some research and found footage that “looked” near.

I then edited, resize and upscaled all footage.

All footage is then edited to the pace to the music.

As I was sourcing I came across footage that what would add the visual of “ growing up through the years “ idea. I also cleared by the band the addition of clouds for the “ Dream” representation.

This is the result and liked by many
