I'm a fast and dependable editor, capable of working across multiple genres including Children's, Arts, Gaelic, Entertainment, Factual, Sport and Documentaries. I can take your programmes through the entire broadcast chain from offline through to online and grade, ensuring Harding flash pattern analysis compliance, and ultimately to final programme delivery.
I pride myself on being adaptable and flexible in my approach to editing, and I am happy working to tight deadlines on fast turnaround projects. My engineering background means I have strong problem solving and troubleshooting skills, handy when things don't go according to plan. My personable nature makes for a pleasant experience during long edit days.
I am skilled in the use of Avid Media composer, and also use FCP 7 and Adobe Premiere.
TESTIMONIALS
"I have worked with Michael Crummy as a Post Production Editor at BBC Scotland for almost 25 years. Mike has become a stalwart of TV Sport production during that time and is one of our most experienced editors. He is equally at home working on high-end features as he is on fast turnaround edits. Mike has a deep knowledge of the technical aspects of editing and a high attention to detail. He is always keen to have a creatve input and is calm under pressure. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike to others."
Hugh McKenzie
Producer, BBC Sport Scotland
"I was very impressed with Mike’s editing. His technical abilities were good and editorially his programmes were lovely, well paced and exactly what I was looking for. He understood what I was trying to achieve and adapted well to suit. He was also good to work with and was able to make any changes to programmes quickly as well as find creative solutions when we had to cut out a lot of time from specific programmes. I found him to be flexible and very willing to work on if necessary."
Yvonne Jennings
Producer, Nina and the Neurons
"Mike is one of those people who can find a way of making it work, which is key to things going well in high-pressure edits where we have a quick turn-around. Creatively, I have found him more than willing to offer constructive opinions and improve on pieces I have been cutting with him. He creates a relaxed atmosphere in the suite with his sense of humour but knows when to knuckle down when there are tight deadlines. I'm always happy to work with Mike because I know I am going to get the job done well and in good time."
Paul McKenna
SKY Sport Scotland
"Mike has consistently been one of our main editors on The Culture Show, frequently doing the final programme compilation, online and delivery. He is technically extremely efficient and knowledgeable, great at finding creative solutions and always a pleasure to work with."
Pauline Law,
Executive Producer
Topical Arts, BBC Four
"Mike is an excellent editor. He is very quick, and very good at working out why things are going wrong when the technology isn't cooperating. Mike was one of the first editors to put Eòrpa together using the new technology [at PQ] and he put a lot of thought into how to get it to work for us. He is always very helpful, and he makes an excellent job of the pieces he edits for Eòrpa, coming up with really good ideas for visual approach and for using music. We're always very pleased to work with him."
Hedda MacLeod
Producer, Eòrpa
