OFFLINE EDITOR : Suzy Davis (OCR Media Conference 2009)

Suzy Davis – Offline Editor Final Cut Ltd The 80s Matchbox B-line Disaster ‘Psychosis Safari’ My first video to be recognised officially.. cut while I was still an assistant editor in 2003, it earnt a nomination as ‘best rock video’ of that year at the Music Video awards and a promotion to Editor for me upon showing it to my boss! Directed by Edgar Wright of ‘Spaced’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz’ fame. Benny Bonassi ‘Satisfaction’ A hit for obvious reasons, this video commissioned by Ministry of Sound set the tone for dance music video making for years to come. Directed by Dougal Wilson, this was our first collaboration together after which we struck up a firm working relationship. Also a nomination for Best Editing in a Music Video. Chikinki ‘Assasinator 13’ An interesting concept as this video literally cuts on every beat of the song. The band have since been dropped by their label as far as I am aware though! The Streets ‘Fit but you know it’ Our first big budget video! Dougal directed this for The Streets, shot in Spain. The edit comprises of 4 edits in 1 really.. 1.) The feet walking along the different streets/park/shops etc, 2.) The hands shot on green screen which overlay the feet walking and turn the photos in time to the music, 3.) The images inside the photographs which come to life and 4.) The performance by Mike Skinner which is interspersed throughout the video. In whole a good 10 day edit! Dizzy Rascal ‘Dream’ A new take on the classic children’s Muffin the Mule style show.. The edit jumps between the puppet set and the life size characters with puppet heads to tell the story..

Commercials Sony Walkman ‘Music Pieces’ An ad from the end of 2007 for advertising agency ‘Fallon’ that works on the premise that each musician plays a single note to form a piece of music. Shot in Alexandra Palace it won Best Editing in a commercial at the CLIO ad awards in The States for me and many other awards for the Director Nick Gordon form Academy Films. Vodafone ‘Work and Play’ The story of two tables having a fight, bizarre idea possibly but a fun exercise to shoot and edit. Entire set built in a studio on blue screen and table action shot in camera while mountain environment added later in post production. Radio 1 Xtra ‘Street Music’ More than 20 hours of footage shot on DV Cam this was a headache edit for me. Also a big sound design job (part of my job too) as many tracks are juxtaposed together to give a flavour of the radio station. Christian Aid ‘Multiplier’ A charity commercial directed by Guy Manwaring. More documentary style edit. Wrigleys ‘Alien’ A fun piece showing all the crap aspects of living on earth that send the poor old alien back home. Also directed by Guy Manwaring, the alien actor has a showreel that includes appearing as one of the ewoks in Star Wars!
