Assistant editor from Hong Kong, now in London.
I studied post-production at Hong Kong Baptist University, then worked as a sound intern and a freelance VFX assistant. My first feature as an assistant editor was Operation Mekong (2016).
Since then I've worked on features, drama series and documentary, much of it VFX-heavy, on Avid Media Composer and Premiere Pro. I've also cut episodes and scenes as an editor, which helps me prepare material the way editors want it.
In Hong Kong I was often the only assistant on a project. UK high-end TV runs larger cutting rooms, with their own routines from dailies to delivery. I want to learn those routines properly, from the people who run them, so I'm starting as a 2nd Assistant Editor, happy on dailies, nights or wherever the cutting room needs me. I've settled in London and plan to stay in UK cutting rooms for the long term.
anguages: English and Cantonese (fluent), Mandarin (conversational), written Chinese. In Hong Kong I also prepared Chinese and English subtitle files for release.
