David Dean: Video Editor/Writer/Director

I am a three-time national Emmy Award-nominated video editor who specializes in non-fiction storytelling.  Many of the shows I've cut have also featured voiceover I've written, and my experience as a director -- in film, television, and even stage -- strongly impacts on my work.  I'm pleased to present to you some of the work I've done over the years, in Glorious QuickTime.
Here's a compilation of some of my recent editing work, for the Travel Channel, PBS, and national syndication.

I really like this piece - a 2008 demo for a prospective PBS travel series.

And this segment, from the "Animal Attractions" series on public TV stations, just won me a Telly Award for Outstanding Editing.  With a hat tip to "Mannix."

Here are some examples of my writing... from Ronald Reagan to Jon Bon Jovi to a newscast for dogs only.

Here's a segment demonstrating some of the invisible tricks and stuff I've used to solve challenges.

My resume includes ten years editing six PBS series featuring the food and travel reporter Burt Wolf; three Emmy-winning series for the Travel Channel starring Samantha Brown; and "Jungle" Jack Hanna's new syndicated series "Into The Wild."  In addition to the Telly Award mentioned above, I've been nominated three times for national Emmy Awards, and I won the International Teleproductions Society's Monitor Award for the CBS special "Dolphins, Whales and Us." 

I work with both Avid and Final Cut, have been totally responsible for all my sound and music tracks throughout my career, and am often called upon to write voiceover copy for my programs.  I can and will travel anywhere, or can work out of my home.  And, as I hope you can tell from these video examples, I do love my work.
