“Lewis is really good to work with, and creatively excellent: I could safely leave him to do all the assembly work during the shoot, and the whole initial rough cut on his own once the shoot was finished. During the shoot we had some quite complex dialogue scenes with 12 characters in a room in simultaneous discussion, and Lewis was excellent at phoning through to the set as he assembled rough cuts of those scenes. In a high pressure shooting environment, it is easy for the Director & DOP to miss key insert shots, and Lewis was brilliant at making sure we got them. In summary, Lewis is a superb editor, and works very harmoniously with the director to get a great finished result without histrionics.”
