I cannot recommend Jon highly enough. In addition to editing my 2012 BAFTA nominated BBC2 documentary, Baka: A Cry from the Rainforest, Jon has spent the last four years supervising both the production and post-production of our five part series, China: Between Clouds and Dreams, broadcast recently on C4 and Chinese Central Television. This involved the highly technical 4K shoot over two years on location in China, managing what was to become almost a petabyte of data, recording sound in the field, working with translators and rough cutting over 400 hours of synchronised film and sound. Back in UK, Jon supervised the 18 month edit, conformed the 4K master and finish graded the entire series to broadcast spec. It is hard to exaggerate the technical demands of this project, often under the most trying of circumstances and I was to grow almost totally dependent on Jon's unflappable ability to solve whatever technical challenge was thrown at us. Likewise back in the cutting room in the UK, where Jon has had to simultaneously handle the technical demands of the edit and satisfy the highly complex requests of our Chinese broadcaster in a project with 13 Chinese and Tibetan dialects, where accuracy was vital. Jon is an absolute delight to work with, unfazed by even the most technical of challenges, a brilliant editor and someone whom I grew to completely depend upon. Jon would be a massive asset to any broadcast project in any number of roles from editor, 4K colourist, technical supervisor, special effects, in fact you name the challenge and Jon will find a way of solving it.
