Video editing has been my passion for over 15 years, working on various projects such as corporate promos, short films, product adverts, music videos and a whole lot more.
I started out as a freelance videographer, both shooting and editing projects, before spending some years working in-house as the main video content producer, gaining valuable experience alongside an internal marketing team. My time in-house taught me skills beyond just the video, understanding the importance of overall marketing and allowing me to hone further skills in graphic design and motion graphics.
Now, as a freelance editor, I can put all of that experience together to tell engaging stories and create amazing videos for you.

testimonials
Phil and I were colleagues for a number of years, so I knew I could trust him once I heard he’d set up as a freelancer.
Phil put together a wonderful documentary-style film for us, for a 2-day competition we run for our brand. Not only was Phil instrumental in the concept for the film, he filmed both days and edited the whole thing single-handedly.
5 stars all day, 100% recommend, Phil is a legend!

“Phil has edited a number of projects for me and on each occasion I’ve been extremely impressed with his understanding of the brief, quality of the work and his excellent communication.
His ability to structure and pace the edit well, select suitable music and manipulate footage as necessary mean there are often very few amends required, and I can always be sure he’ll hit any deadlines with time to spare!
Phil is always my first choice when I need a freelance editor as he’s a great collaborator, easy to work with and an all round nice guy!”

“I have worked with Phil Rees on numerous projects and highly recommend his work to anyone wishing to get a video project edited.
Phil has a first-class approach to any project, whether it be drama, comedy or documentary. Supplementing his technical editing skills, he also has a good eye for direction which shows through in his work.
I and the crew on the above projects would find it difficult not to involve Phil in all future projects.”
