Jamie Steedman / Edinburgh & London
Twenty years
in the edit.
Film editor, video strategist and motion designer. I help brands work out what they actually need to say on screen, then cut the film that says it.

Selected work
Four projects,
four different problems.
Advertising, brand film, factual television. Different budgets, different audiences, the same question every time: what is this actually for?

What I do
Three things, done properly.
01
Video Strategy
Before anything gets shot or cut: what is the story, who is it for, and where does it need to live? The plan comes first and the production follows it.
02
Film & Video Editing
Long-form documentary and drama, branded content, advertising and social. Twenty years of deciding what stays in and what goes.
03
Motion Design & Animation
Title sequences, broadcast graphics, 2D animation and explainers, built to sit inside the edit rather than bolted on afterwards.
About
The format changes.
The discipline doesn’t.
I have spent two decades across broadcast television, advertising, branded content and motion design. Long enough to know what makes footage compelling, what makes a story land, and how to turn both into something that serves a business objective.
That is what clients get beyond the finished film: a clear view of the story you need to tell, who it is for, and how it should reach them. I bring the same editorial thinking to a fifteen-second social cut as to a feature documentary.
