I normally arrive shortly before filming and the Producer briefs me over coffee. By the time I sit down to edit I already know what’s required from my editing work. As a cameraman / editor it’s important I have as much information as possible before filming starts and Peter is always very mindful of this. Having loads of information means the final product has a better chance to be successful.

When it comes to equipment and gadgets, SWL.TV is always on the ball with every little detail required during a shoot. There’s always accessories and gadgets available at a moment’s notice. Bits of kit you didn’t know you would need during the shoot – you can be sure we have them in the bag! Whether there’s a problem accessing power or you need a different cable or connector there’s always a solution.

SWL.TV is extremely committed to their brand; they’ve prepared  clear guidelines specific to each type of video they create for the channel and train all the channel’s Presenters and Crew on the channel’s in-house style. On top of that, support is always available over the phone or via email if I have any questions, or I can refer to the Top Secret “SWL.TV Style Guide”!

I’ve also worked on a couple of projects with SWL.TV trying out collaborative editing.  This has proved to be extremely convenient and relevant for this day and age when technology, and customer expectations are moving so fast. Working remotely on video editing is becoming more and more important for videographers across the world.

When I’m not working on SWL.TV productions I run my own successful business, The Quick Brown Fox Video Production. We specialise in carefully crafted video content for family friendly brands, products and services, working closely with agencies and events organisers.

Career

Stretching the boundaries of South West London to, um, South West England! Steve is actually based in Southampton at the moment but has lived in Clapham, Tooting and Kensington previously. He spent several years in the late naughties freelancing for The BP Video Library, Teachers TV, Radio Children and Comic Relief which came after his Fdg in Broadcast Post Production at Ravensbourne (the funny looking honeycomb building by The O2) where he completed a Fdg in Broadcast Post Production. He has been with SWL.TV since the start thanks to Keith Maynard.

Favourite thing about SWL.TV

Reporting from trade shows, music festivals and garden parties!

Life Outside SWL.TV

Steve produces a weekly green-screen video for a new ‘disruptive’ energy company based in Ireland, and in his spare time he enjoys watching ‘The Saints’ mediocre attempts at Premier League football (see SaintsFan.TV). He doesn’t enjoy exercise very much but has made attempts at Yoga, trail running, Badminton and paragliding. He creates websites and also publishes books with Amazon.
