Welcome to SFX Editing
This is a Hobby NOT a Business
I was initially going to start a small business, tuning my hobby into something that would keep me busy and perhaps earn me a few pounds in my retirement. It is obvious that the Government doesn't want small businesses in this country anymore so, having committed myself to a property and taken two and a half months to get everything like electricity and internet connected, I have decided to just carry on with my hobby without trading.
This way I can concentrate on what I want to do and not on jumping through ever higher hoops for the government. I still want to hear from anyone interested in making videos of any genre. I am also happy to talk about some collaborative projects for any of the social media platforms.
I am fascinated by all things ‘video’. I use state of art editing software to put together all sorts of videos and I use it's advanced features to create stunning effects, 2D and 3D titles, intros and trailers. I can help you put together videos for YouTube, Patreon, Only Fans, Vimeo and many other platforms. I can also shoot studio based, short-form videos for use on these platforms for things like: product advertising, reviews, Instructional projects, entertainment, personal moments, etc.
Editing
If you have shot your own video using a phone or video camera you might need a little help putting it together. You might not want to learn how to edit but you want your family wedding, birthday or anniversary video to look a bit less random, especially if the video is coming from several different sources. I can help.
2D Custom Titles
If you already have a social media channel or website that you make videos for, but you’re not happy with the ‘standard’ titles that your editing software supplies, we can make you a bespoke title or title sequence that you can overlay or cut into your clips. This clip is an example of a 2D intro.
3D Custom Titles
Like 2D titles, 3D titles can be used in exactly the same way but they are probably better suited to intro sequences rather than overlays. They can add a lot more ‘punch’ to an intro than a 2D title but take longer to produce. This clip is an example of a 3D generated clip. With and without sound - what a difference!
Memorial Videos
Funerals are always a sad time and it’s nice to have a keepsake to give to selected friends and family. You can bring me up to 70 photographs and short video clips and I will create a digital slide show which I can supply on a DVD or Blue Ray disc or I can supply you with a memory stick.
Instruction Videos
If you are a manufacturer or importer and you would like to produce an instruction video (in real English) showing how to assemble or use your product, we can certainly help.
YouTube is filled with examples of 'how to' videos and these are often the preferred 'go to' over instruction manuals. Most of these videos are not 'official' and can give incorrect or even dangerous instructions - dangerous for the user and harmful to your product and it's reputation.
Small Business Videos
Short video clips are becoming more popular on websites and can be used as an introduction to your Company or personnel or to show/explain products or services. The cost of using a production studio can be prohibitive for small businesses: which is where I come in. Small production doesn't have to be low quality and if you need higher quality while keeping costs under control I might be able to point you to the right people.

VHS/VHSc to Digital
Coming Soon – Do you have home made videos on VHS and VHSc* tapes. Once I am properly set-up in my new premises I am planning on offering a conversion service from VHS and VHSc* to digital. I am also looking at video enhancement techniques which can get rid of a lot of the flaws in old tapes. Check back for when we go live on this one. *VHSc = compact VHS camera tapes - sorry not Video 8 format
We Like to Help if We Can
Because I love playing with ‘video’, if you have a project in mind I’d love to discuss it with you. Whether you want to shoot your own advert and need some help or guidance or if you want to make your own home movie, let’s talk! If you have an idea for a YouTube (or any other social media) channel and need some pointers to get you started, I’d like to help. Any subject or topic as long as it’s legal.
I am always looking for new projects to work on and even amateur video makers need help some times. If you have a talent that other people may be able to use in their video projects, why not come and let us know what you have to offer. That way if someone asks us 'do you know anyone that can....', I can say yes. Any talent is of interest although make-up artists, voice over artists, extras and model makers are probably in the highest demand.
