Sandip Mahal Post Production Guy

I have a wide breadth of experience in the post production industry working across a wide range of NLEs including Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere and FCPX. I am technically proficient in editing, ingesting and Multicam work across a wide range of genres at a broad range of Post Production Houses. Easy to work with and used to working under pressure and tight deadlines I can work fast and efficiently both independently and in a team.
Some of the better known clients I have worked for with include: BBC WorldWide, BBC Comedy and Entrainment, Arrow Media and Avalon Television.
I have also been editing short films, promos and short form comedies for talented directors as well as writing, directing and editing my own shorts under my own label: zeroheadroom.com. and fuzzy dice.co.uk This allows more visibility to my key skills in the craft. My work as lead editor has been showcased at the London Film Festival among others.
Being an all rounder in the postproduction community allows me to be a versatile editor that can troubleshoot workflow issues. My love of creating engaging content is the main reason i set the bar high towards my work.
