Why choose Taylors TV?

Taylors TV accepts freelance assignments for Philip Taylor and full-service projects.

Post-production can be offline and online editing, colour grading or motion graphics. Production projects can be short films or features; television documentaries; VNRs; magazines; commercials; and internal or external communications.

When you hire Taylors TV you get the benefit of 20 years in televisual communications: television; corporate presentation from web to 95-m wide projections; commercials; and now feature films.

Taylors TV was established in 2001, with HarperCollins Publishers as client. The first commission was four exciting book commercials for the jumbotron video displays in Waterloo and Victoria railway stations, London. Contracts to make films for Shell Renewables, Shell International and Vodafone, working world-wide and even circumnavigating the globe, followed.

Philip Taylor, film editor

If you're looking for a film editor with experience in long- and short-form documentary, drama and commercials, contact me. My work has been broadcast mainly on the BBC in UK and world-wide as well as on many other channels, including Nickelodeon, National Geographic and Smithsonian Networks.

I recently co-produced and edited a 30-minute drama, 'Malachi', which was premiered on 20th March 2010 at BAFTA to 500 people and has been accepted for the Short Film Corner at Cannes. I also helped write the script as a script consultant and script doctor.

I'm a fan of Walter Murch, Apple Certified, and Avid trained. In the past I've pushed Avid to extremes making multi-screened, multi-layered programmes.

I have been professionally employed in television, films, corporate communications and commercials since 1989, seventeen of those years in production.
