BAFTA TELEVISION AWARDS

About the Coverage:

The BAFTA Television Awards recognise the best achievements in British television each year. For both the 2024 and 2025 ceremonies, I was part of the team responsible for the rapid turnaround of social content, cutting edits as the events unfolded for immediate distribution across multiple platforms and aspect ratios.

This high-pressure environment required precise organisation, sharp editorial judgement/an eye for engaging content, and the ability to work at speed delivering polished edits complete with VFX, grade, and sound mix. Seamless collaboration with fellow editors was essential, particularly in sharing assets and cuts on the fly.

I managed multiple edits simultaneously while actioning real-time feedback from the production company (Stepping Stone Media), clients (BAFTA and P&O Cruises), and, in some cases, the on-screen talent themselves.

What's New at M&S Food

About the Series:

A TV show-style YouTube commercial series for M&S Food, hosted by Amanda Holden, Paddy McGuinness, Emma Willis, and Rochelle Humes, showcasing the next month’s in-store offerings. Despite the extended runtime (10–15 minutes per episode), the series delivered strong engagement and high watch times. Special guests included Keith Lemon and Ant & Dec.

Working alongside one other editor, I cut 10 of the 12 episodes and created multiple social cutdowns for each. I was also responsible for grading, sound mixing, and VFX, ensuring each episode maintained a polished, broadcast-quality finish.

ROUX Scholarship

About the Work:

The Roux Scholarship is the UK’s most prestigious cooking competitions for young chefs. Founded by legendary brothers Michel and Albert Roux, it is now run by their sons Alain Roux and Michel Roux Jr, along with granddaughter Emily Roux.

I have worked on content for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 competitions, including finalist profiles, promotional videos and edits for the final event itself. In addition to this ongoing work, I was trusted by Stepping Stone Media to edit three special films for a landmark celebration: the 40th Anniversary of the Scholarship and a tribute to the Roux brothers.

These films included an opening video to set the tone for the evening, a retrospective on 40 years of the Scholarship and a deeply personal tribute to Michel Snr and Albert Roux, both of whom had recently passed. Creating these required sifting through over 40 years of archival photos and footage and crafting them into powerful, emotional and impactful stories.

The event was a great success, and I received this heartfelt feedback from Alain, Michel Jr and Emily Roux:

"We appreciate the hours of research and careful editing that you invested in the video presentation.  Special thanks to Mitch! The videos and beautiful interviews were the perfect tributes to Michel and Albert forming the cornerstone to our special event.  To bring our fathers alive in such vivid, touching and humorous fashion was very emotional, uplifting and proved a remarkable complement to our verbal tributes."​

Note: The films were created exclusively for the private event. Please feel free to get in touch to request access to the password-protected videos.

Marriott BonVoy

About the Films:

A series of 60-second travel edits paired with music that reflects the spirit of each location, designed to highlight the unique character of destinations where Marriott has hotels. Each video strikes a balance between showcasing the hotels and capturing the essence of the city or country, all within a tightly edited, visually rich format.

I have edited dozens of these videos for Stepping Stone and Marriott, regularly updating and expanding the destinations as needed.
