Profile
Richard Boot

I am passionate about the art of storytelling through sound and vision and feel privileged to be a video editor by trade. From digitising Universal's never ending back catalogue of music videos in a Soho basement, to editing long form documentaries for Sky, I have relished every second of my 18 year journey in broadcasting.
Throughout my career I have worked with genres spanning news, sport, music, film, shopping channels (!) and kids TV. I have produced a huge variety of content from 60 minute films all the way down to 30 second promos and social media content. I am versatile and have a deep passion for culture and the world around me, which enables me to approach most briefs with an understanding of the subject matter.
Relationship building is a key skill of mine which to me is as important as the editing skills. Producers and editors working to a high level of trust complete projects more efficiently and to a higher standard, this is something that I bring to the table. I also have a good sense of humour which can be invaluable when locked in dark rooms for weeks on end!
I strive to listen, understand and elevate any brief given to me. I am proud of the work I have produced so far in my career and am looking forward to what the future brings.
