My name is Warwick. I have over 15 years of experience as a producer, cinematographer and editor. I have shot music videos, television shows, commercials, and film.
My clients ranged from the Chicago Board of Education, Chicago Symphony Orchestras, McDonald's, and Fox Sports. My experience in editing range in the same areas including three reality TV series—two in Chicago and one in Marion, Indiana.
I started out as a supervising editor for a weekly show, “The Celeste Show,” on ABC Television and for HGTV’s (House & Garden Television) TV show, "New Spaces."

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Make sure he has adequate equipment for your job. Professional camera, lights and recording devices are a must for your project. Have them send you their resume, a list of their equipment and a link of their demo reel. Their reel is more important than the resume, because anyone can write down their experience.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Having a Pre-ditor to help you with your project. This is someone that has the skills of 4 individual jobs on the set (4 man crew/ producer, writer, camera, editor). And in these economical times you want to stretch out your dollar. These type of experienced individuals are a rare find, so if you happen to bump into one, get their number.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. Best advice I can suggest is for you to have them send you their resume, a list of their equipment and a link of their demo reel. Their reel is more important than the resume, because anyone can write down their experience.
