Sam in a few words
I've been editing ever since I was about ten years old - so that was about fourteen years ago! Ever since, I've developed my editing skill to a rather proficient point. I studied Music Business & Entrepreneurship at university, and it was there that we were taught some more techniques and methods of editing using Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premier. From this, I made a ten minute video essay, and I've also made several video essays since, one of them being an hour long.
I've also written, directed, and colour graded music videos in a professional, studio environment, as well as having created and produced my own music which won me the Birmingham Music Award for Best Album in 2019.
I absolutely love video editing and am willing to take on any challenge presented to me!
Experience
- Sam Hollis MusicVideo Editor & DirectorFILM & AVFebruary 2022 - March 2022 (1 month)London, United KingdomI put myself in charge of video editing, colour-grading, writing, and filming my own music video, and had the help of multiple people in a professional studio in London to make it happen. It was a ten minute long, rather ambitious music video and I'm incredibly proud of how we pulled it off.
- Institute of Contemporary Music PerformanceStudentFILM & AVSeptember 2019 - May 2022 (2 years and 8 months)London, United KingdomFor one of my modules at university, we were taught how to utilise Final Cut Pro to the best of its ability and had to make a video essay of which we had to research for. Mine was about fifteen minutes long, and featured not only solid, easy to follow narrative, but it also featured some animation - something which I am still fairly new to, but can do decently.

Sam has edited a range of videos for me. Some of these have involved cutting short clips from longer comedy sets to use as promotional material on social media, whilst others have been improving general quality, adding subtitles, cutting out excessive background noise etc. Sam has also edited showreels together for me, and shows a great degree of patience in putting together exactly what the customer wants. Would 100% recommend.
